"Project Clod Buster Crawler"


The stock Clod is fun, but aside from the monster tires ability to climb over things, the overall setup of the truck doesn't make the truck very agile or nearly aggressive enough for what it will do...
I wanted to build a modified Clod and all the information and shots I could find were about the finished product, not the actual construction of the truck. This time I wanted to try something different.
The swing arm style suspension system looked like something I wanted to try. This truck is being built as a crawler, so every mod is designed for and tested under those conditions.
