[ferp420]

I scored a new clod this thing is trick it was donated to the american legion who sold it for $45 i dont think it has ever been ran the steering dident work and there are no scratches on the axles or the body or the chassie and the tires look new the brand new looking nimh battery were dead the charger it came with dident fit the batterys differnt plug it came with 2 nimh batterys and a 2s lipo a extra set of wheels and tires and a extra set of axles the hardware is alittle rusty but other than that its in new condition im stoked on it its a realy nice rig

First thing i did was fry the speed controler it seems to be my new thing doeh i dont known what happend ive never had any luck with taxxas speed controlers any way so why start now lol so im gona order up a couple of new escs then i plan on lowering it and adjusting things i have a buggy chassis thats been waiting for some axles so i think thats were the extra set will go and i dont know about the tires i now have 4 sets of these rims and 2 sets of tires i have no idea what this chassis is so if anyone nows i would appreciate the info im stoked on this thing and cant wait to run it

Looks like you have a Clodzilla 3 chassis.

 

[ferp420]

Sweet thank you do you know of any chassis mods that would make it a better crawler Im gonna look it up im still looking for direction with this truck the spare parts are gonna be a custom build using a chassis i built 10 years ago and never finnished i just need batterys and speed controlers and shocks and recivers and i can run it lol

Ive done some reserch and in honor of the clodlizza 3 Ive decided to make this a go faster clod for beach and yard bashing with some track racing mixed in so i swaped out the monster truck tires for some redcat 2.2 wheels and tires for now and i lowered the body to the chassis and rearanged the links and raised the shocks to lower the chassis some i cant wait for my new escs to come in so i can run this thing

I'd say you have a nice fined man, looks to be all custom chassis.....this is what they normally look like..

 

[rustneversleeps]

ya i think DVS is right Clodzilla........still a nice find and looks like parts from TxT will fit too...

 

[ferp420]

I dident like the shick set up so i changed it up alittle

 

[ferp420]

Old set up.

 

[ferp420]

New set up

I'd throw the MT tires on it, score a EVX'2 and hit them titans with 4s, you will have a smiles for years to come.... I have a clod I just finished up with titan/EVX2 combo. Threw in 19t pinions and have been running it 3s with a jumper, and it it soo much damn fun!

Either way, that is a hell of a deal for $45 bucks... Shit I'll give you $200 for what you have right now!

 

[ferp420]

Thanks yo im enjoying the build The evx2 is what burned up ive never had any luck with traxas escs it moved a few feet and that was it lol but ya i plan on 4s but the urge to turn it in to a crawler is strong on this one
