Shaft drive Clod?

Post by SFC K »

A little project I have been working on this winter.

I am using a Clod chassis with a twist, and that is I am installing center mounted transmission with Gmade R1 portal axles. Transmission is out of a SCX-10 with the upgraded 32p gears and dual slipper. Plastic links are pulled from my old Axial Honcho with two on each corner with a custom made pan hard bars front and rear.

Today I received my 2.2 RC4WD Tractor tires for it and mocked them up on some Losi 2.2 crawler wheels. Not going with these but wanted to see how they looked. I also had a complete Tamiya Ford F350 body laying around so I painted that up and detailed it for this build.

I have some more work to do on it but it is getting there.

looks great, checked it out on clod talk the other day.

how's the suspension travel with panhard bar the length that it is? seems like it wants to be a bit longer.

Thanks! It will travel all the way down to the spring cups on the bottom of the shocks. I had to switch out the shocks for some Gmade shocks. The Traxxas Big bores really limited the amount of travel due to the chassis being so light and the shocks themselves were to stiff.

For mud duty and some light trails it should preform well, I hope. With these tires it has just over 2.5"s of clearance under the pumpkin.

Dude that is totally sweet. The F-series with the larger tires is doing it for me. :) Nice mash-up.
Hope you're doin' something fun.

Wow. If I had the cash, I'd ask you to build one for me. This truck just has that look. Very nice.

That looks almost identical to a purpose built mud truck.

Good candidate for an old Sassy aluminum chassis.

Truck now is drivable and works great! I just have some little tweaks to do to the drive train, but she is ready for service. :D

Cool truck in that video! Man he was hauling! :shock:


A couple pictures from my snow ( **cough** Ice) run. The high today was 3 degrees but with the wind it is more like -17.

Any way truck runs well and does great out on the ice snow. Plenty of traction, but it was so cold, my servo started to slow way down from the cold. Never had that happen before, but this one has an all aluminum case and I'm sure the grease inside froze maybe?


Anyhow, A couple pictures.
