    I am an old school guy who was into clods back in early 1992 and got hooked on them!! This truck has always been my "main" truck,i have had numerous chassis set ups and in 1995,got this newly designed bennett clod a lever from larry after taking 6th place at the world's..he wanted me to "update" my old chassis...so i decided to modify it some and do my own setup,mainly remving the sway bars and the front canilever arms and run traditional shocks instead.It ran great like this and i like the look better to simulate a "real" monster truck..

    Parts are as follows....

    Bennett Clod A Lever 2 Chassis with Stainless 4 Link bars and Steering links.
    JPS gear and axle tubes and knuckles
    Astroflight motors 6 turn single
    Stock gears and axles in the front,Sassy Chassis straight axles in the back.Thorpe Ball Differintials front and rear.10 tooth pinions
    Aristrocraft tires,shaved and stock tamiya wheels,Has ben updated with RC4WD Rumble Tires and Beadlock Rims
    Futaba 3204 Metal gear servo,custom mounting bracket.
    Novak 6-10 esc,Futaba fm receiver,Litespeed silver connectors and 12 Gauge Dragonwire.I used 10 "1/2" 2000mah Cells.
    Kyosho 4" Plastic Shocks
    Parma 1995 Dodge Body with Proform Pro Mod Wing..I wanted something Different!! Mounts are Lexan and velcro.

      thanks guys ...speed,not really sure,but it was crazy fast for doing the drag style racing..which is what i wanted them for.if i used 10 cells and the motors for any period of time,like over a minute,the ESC would overheat..it was crazy fast and still is,just need new batteies..i have the old ones,but i doubt they would be any good..i haven't tried..
