So I picked up a nice Clod 2 RTR it has the stock motors and an EVX2 speed control, what are the best motors to use with this ESC. I have the CPE aluminum axle shafts on the way, is there a major benefit to switching to the metal gears since it will be apart? If so how do I know what sizes to get ec...

After wanting one of these as a kid 30+ years ago after seeing the magazine ad, I was finally able to build an Ultra Molded buggy. Just added a few period mods but nothing too crazy. I was so tempted to add some stickers to this blank canvas, but it looks just too good to cover up. :lol: - MIP CVD's...

Not sure if I'll add the ribs in the front wheels, that seems to make them split easier. I want to put foa...

Those wheels look like they came out phenomenal 8) Dhawk makes a quality product, really happy with these, thanks! Got the foam donuts glued on and trued. Time to start making the body mounts. Kydex is easy to shape with a heat gun, here are the body mount side wings with a 90° angle. https://i.img...

First Build of the Month then Build of the Year now Readers Ride of the Month in RCCA... Congratulations!

Yep - you read it right, a Nitro powered XX Buggy. History - back when Nitro truck was popular, before the XXX-NT and GT2 era, it was GTX/NXT vs GT (mostly) but the e-trucks were XXT and killing it.

Fibre-Lyte however, was one of only a few companies (Including Fusion Speed in Brea California and Buffalo Composite Designs in ...

Three years before the carbon tubs from Fibre-Lyte (Stokesley England) and Buffalo Composite Designs (Lubbock Texas) came to market there was the Fusion Speed Graphite Tub Chassis.

So choice... That should be rad to watch come together.
