yeah i sure will.
im liking the look of your truck, did you paint the body white or just leave it and stick the stickers on?
i havnt chosen a colour for mine yet as i have no idea what colour the bumpers and suspension parts are going to be..

Its the stock white from the factory , I'm bad at painting . I just put the stickers on it . Are you using the one servo for the steering ? if So let me know how your front wheels turn , they dont turn that well in forward the back does a lot of the work, but in reverse both front and rear work really good .

yeah im not to good at the painting side of things.
as for the servo i am only using 1 but dont have a high tourqe one yet but this will defo be the next thing to buy,( any recomadations on the servo will be a help). i want to run 2 servos but i cant find were to buy the conecting rods to go from the servo to the wheels and the one that conect the wheels together...

I run Futaba S3305 on my Clod... (2x of them..)
I highly recommend some sort of servo on axle setup to eliminate all the extra linkage...

RE: Super Clod Buster Build-up Thread
anyone have an issue with the front wheels turning ? the front and rear turn good when you hold the truck up , but when you put it down the rear seems to do the brunt of the work. I am using a high torque metal servo , and I tried to tighten the front servo saver . .. also I moved the rod out to its furthest point .

Yep, thats just what the Clod does with the stock steering setup. Every single Clod I've ever run that had the stock steering setup did that exact same thing. I can't remember for sure but I think even with an aftermarket dual servo setup it will still do that to some degree. I think it has to do with the geometry of the steering and the forces you're putting on the front steering. It's most prevalent with the sloppy stock steering though.

Not that I am aware of.. there's only a few ESCs that's designed to do high voltage and dual motors.. (brushed, at least..)
Novak SuperDuty XR, the ESC from E-Savage (Speed GT), the ESC from E-Maxx, and the ESC from the Kyosho Twin Force Spirit (rare)... there's a few others but not so common..
