Here is the hole build of the Green Pimp Clod I have posted on RCC

01/28/07



02/03/07

Well today my pimp can came in the mail, Its a 17 incher. As soon as it came I immediately grabbed my clod axles and put it together. so now I mounted my battery and receiver nothing else and used green zip ties!!!


Well onto the pictures







And if you have a pimpcane you gotta post a pic of it doing this


No flex pictures though



02/06/07

Well today I took apart a knuckle to see if it had bearings in it. It does I am even happier with this truck now thats one less thing I have to buy I got a picture of the bearings





02/07/07

Made spots for the body posts today, then trimmed one of my maxx bodys and mounted it... Notice the body is maily GREEN











02/27/07

Bta steering? I think yes, I am getting a bent servo link from Moondust1950 and I will make another off of that because the steering arm link now sucks.

I got a couple pics today




This is my new clod with a Super rooster Ha

A while ago I talked about getting a clod in a trade for my 70 dollar mountain bike. Well I finally traded last night. I have some pictures of it to I didn't want to put this in the clod section because stock clods are junk that can't crawl, Lol. The main reason I wanted it because it came with a super rooster esc. I check today since there is no sticker on it and it is a super rooster. I drove it around last night and the crappy stock steering set up pissed me off :x So I might take it apart soon and make it a 4 linked super

Most of what it came with



Under side with the 2 good motors 2 newish speedy gems 2 motors.


The Super rooster

Ordered 2 55t lathe motors, 12mm to 14mm adapters, and Thundertech adjustable motor mounts, 10t and 9t pinion.

I found some old maxx wheels and tires in my rim section of my room. I guess these will work until I can afford Axials and Xls

my cpe mt widener adapters came in today, I did a few runs in the house with the green body on it, and I well had made too big of body posts holes and from all the flipping over I ruined the mounting holes. So i got the tlts body on there for now.

Yes the Green pimp is Finally Pimping. Just need a steering set up to come then I can really test it :twisted:








Flex shots! "thumbsup"

Thanks this thing has a million bodies!

I got bored last night and I trashed the c10 body alot of roof scratches and paint missing on it now. But today I was bored and going though the shed, and I remembered I had that extra body that came with my stock clod so i mounted that one too. lol




just a pic to get the bling bling wheels in as like the main








I think I may need to get sub cs on the knuckles eventually
