Thanks for the welcome.
Matt I dunno what took me so long. Had been meaning to sign up over here forever but just kept forgetting and after talking to Halgar recently I finally decided to take a few mins and sign up.

Really nice build. Love the body & paint work as well.

This is a Clod I started building in the fall of 2018. I had been out of RC for about 20 yrs and decided to jump back in about a year & half ago with a tube chassis clod again. This one has taken a back burner a few times due to other projects. Actually finished up my 2nd Clod since getting back...

Took some time today to get back to work on the paludarium. I decided to airbrush a sky with clouds onto the back glass, then back lit it with a full spectrum LED light to give it a more realistic pop. really happy with the way that came out. Built a stand for it now but still have the skin and fini...

Basically finished it today. Other than moving over a group of about 25 bloody mary shrimp I just got for it, and add a shoal of cardinal tetras to it as well. First here's a vid of it- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KiJtNPrpJE8&t=4s And pics https://imagizer.imageshack.com/img924/6687/6FKC5r.j...

Well 8 bottles of O2, 2 bottles of Mapp, and $100 worth of Harris safety silv45 rod later lol....chassis is done. Now I get to spend the day cleaning it all up tomorrow. That's a job in and of itself. Tires & wheels should be here tomorrow as well so fun stuff starting soon https://imagizer.imag...

Getting closer to having project "Superbeast" running. Just finished up airbrushing the body recently now. Still have to get the electronics (brushless 2200kv motor and Monster X ESC) then have the driveshafts made, but getting closer to the end of the build. http://imageshack.com/a/img921...

https://imagizer.imageshack.com/img922/2276/POTrNg.jpg https://imagizer.imageshack.com/img924/160/DM6mor.jpg Been a while since I updated this build. I was on a fishing trip up north the past 2 weeks and just got back home a few days ago. So now that I am back I have started working on this build a...

Spent the weekend working on the truck. The ESC & motor are on track to be delivered today :mrgreen: so I got the steering servo all mounted properly and wired back to the rx with some extension leads. Got the limiting straps set and mounted at proper lengths now. Made some sponsor plates. Repla...

Electronics are in and calibrated/programed. First time "Superbeast" has moved under it's own power. Just a short lil' shakedown test in the driveway but I think I'm gonna be pleased with the power it seems to have.

Superbeast is done! Short vid and few pics of it all ready to go. Hope to have some run vids soon, lots of rain & storms today here so don't want to take it out today and get it muddy already lol. Already planning the next build. Next up, I decided to go all out. 1/5 scale tuber is planned over ...

Well now that the latest project "Superbeast" is pretty much done, I had told myself I was not going to do another big project. That idea lasted all of about a week. After a bit of thinking I decided to just finally go all out and build the biggest tube chassis truck I could build. So sett...

The parts collecting continues. Have a set of new 9" x 6" Losi Monster Claw tires due in tomorrow. Some Losi wheels for the tires should be here early next week. Got 40ft of 5/16 .065 wall tube coming on Thursday (to build the frame out of). Had to buy a new heavy duty tubing bender for th...

Put another few days of work into the 1/5 scale Rc Monster truck I'm currently building. Have a good portion of the main rails and lower 4 link structure, as well as some of the inner bracing done now. Also bought a 1/6 scale Hemi drag motor from Liberty Classics to use on it. The size of the motor ...
