BUILT NOT BOUGHT, what more can i say.... i'll give it a try at least ;)

Maybe not the most scale rig in town, not the best crawler in town, for sure not fast, can't jump, but is my own personal creation thought up and figured out and worked out by yours truly over the years and i'm now happy with the result. Hope you can enjoy it too!!!

Clodbuster based build from an axle perspective, SCX6 Honcho body, SCX6 4 Link front and rear, and steering linkages, soon adding SCX6 alloy shocks.

Twin brushless using RHINO 80A ESC's, and various motors in this vid i'm running Holmes Hobbies CrawlMaster outrunners 1400kv a piece on 2s lipo.

It will perform better and stall less when i go back to Turnigy AeroDrive 4250 Outrunner motors which are 350kv and considerably larger, heavier, and more torque focused setup. I damaged the pinion on one of them so am waiting now for a new pinion to arrive so i can put them back in. The Holmes Hobbies motors are 12yrs old and are very tired old things.

RC4WD Rock Crushers 8.5 inch tall tires with inflatable inner tubes and on-board air compressor system for airing up and down the tires on the trail. Mid-to-firm air setting in this video - - can get much firmer but can also get much flatter, as needed.

Custom hand made aluminim ladder rail chassis.

Custom alloy Clodbuster axle housings, 6061/7075 alloy gears (7075 spool) custom alloy 1/5scale hand made servo mounts and support brackets to ensure near ZERO flex in the steering system.

Custom steel alloy skid plates.

Narrowed Axial Beadlocks 40 series / 3.8 wheels.
