yep, I already didn't like the offset with the 3/8" wideners. the 4 link kit on this truck has both the inner and outer supports for the c-hub, although it still is weak on the top and bottom of the hub.
I got a new to me car recently and it's all clean and polished and right off would look good on the shelf , however on close inspection two of the three diffs are screwed and the whole steering system would drop apart the moment it started moving ....

Most of my builds are shelfers. All of my cars could technically be run but sometimes they’re not set up to run well. For example, I just built an RC10 with vintage Proline “hard” 2.2 rear tires. I bought some current Schumacher spike front tires...

Some delrin wheels with a different offset would be the ticket and they can be machined to spin super true. I had the idea to machine the wheels with a different offset two years ago bit never did it. I need to get back on that. You could still...
Here’s the start of my first ever Clodbuster build. Really no clue how to build a monster truck and I don’t always like to build off of proven platforms so I’m going back to my old school crawler roots and scratch building as much as I can. Here’s...

I was ready to make the (final version) of the chassis but was put on hold until I had electronics. That stalled me out because I wasn’t ready to buy at the moment and now I’m just lacking motivation to RC. I’ll get to it one day.
I used to have a close on a Zilla 2 chassis I sold 7-8 years ago and have since regretted. Anyway this popped up on the local CL about 20 mins away from me and at a reasonable price so I pulled the trigger. When I got home there were some killer...

Nice find! I too regret selling off all my clods years ago as well!
Hold onto this project and I look forward to your build. You have some nice vintage items in there as well!
Just joined up tonight so figured I would say hello. Been a member over on Clodtalk since it first started up so figured I would join here finally. In my late 40's and got into Rc back in the early 1980's with a hornet, then Fox, big bear, Rc10,...
Hello all, I see a few familiar faces from clodtalk here. I figured I'd share my latest clod-build here. Not as crazy as some of my previous builds, but I think it's proving to be pretty well-balanced.
Basically stock, except for the e-maxx shocks...

I've been on a Craigslist streak recently; I've found 3 or 4 good vehicles in the past couple months. Here's my latest, a tired old Clod Buster that I picked up for the princely sum of $50:
Rust never sleeps:
Out of curiosity, I stuck a...

Been running this old monster quite a bit recently. I'm thinking it might be time to tear it down and make a few improvements. In the meantime, here's some hot Clod action for your Wednesday evening:
