No doubt the Clod will perform better without the torque roll!! :D

But I guess TXT is more "realistic", I guess.. kind of cool seeing the 2 driveshafts go from the chassis to the axles..

I find it amusing that CF plates are cheaper... :\

Whats with that? And will the holes match up?

eh hijacking the clod thread... :(

The aluminum ones are factory Tamiya parts... that explains the price...

I am almost done. Well, not really.:eek: I need to pick up some more hardware for the servo plates. I dont even have an extra IB 4200 pack to run dual Ib 4200's either. I need to order that. Unless I test it with just one IB 4200 pack? VERY slow I would imagine with just one pack.

After I bought those shocks,body and wheel hubs...im kinda limited right now. Like no more spending for a couple weeks. Only small stuff like hardware and another IB 4200 pack!:D:D Just hope my GF dont find out!;) LOL!

Think so. Tony Screws LLC. He also sells them in packs which is a cheaper way to go. I usually stocks up on them.

6 days without a post? Whats going on?!?!?![X(]

Well, I got distracted once again and built this!!!

Its not done yet. I still need to add some more support brackets and such....

Hardcore!! I like it!!

I'd run longer suspension links, though... maybe it is because the tires are so huge.. it makes the Revo links look short! ha!!

RE: Super Clod Buster Build-up Thread
 
Thanks LB!!! Im pretty happy with it!

The links are kinda short....I gotta find some longer ones. But, they have to be red!!!!

Also, i need to go out and buy some spacers for the upper shock mounts.

How are those shocks? I am still deciding on shocks for my Savage....oops....did I say that out loud?[X(]

That chassis looks unbreakable...NICE!

I got my ESP sway bars on, nothing pretty. So far this is a trial install. We'll see how long it lasts.

ESP includes some rod ends and they are used in an interesting way. This allows the rod to slide smoothly without binding.

Gotta love zip ties:D

Here's a picture of the wideners included with the CVDS from TTR. They are made by MIP.
