2wd?

[CPH extreme]

I have read the rule book but still unclear on this!
is there a class that can use a clod axle for the rear?
would love to build a 2wd puller, and have a spare clod axle and
clod tires/wheels

thanks

Look at Bar Tire Sportsman. It may or may not stand up to the abuse.

several clod rear ended Sportsmens have been built thru the years they work good .....rear ends were not a problem. on dirt....carpet no way.

 

[CPH extreme]

it would be used for dirt/clay only,
Now I need to research chassis set ups and the rule book:tmb

Thanks for the info

The Clod gearboxes can be built to hold up even on carpet. Dual Motor Mod
(4wd clod) pulled over 100# on dirt and 400+ on carpet.
You will want to use straight axles though. Get rid of the dog bone / steering axles.

anyone have pics of the pulling class Bar Tire Sportsman?

I think these are Open I but the dimensions are the same...

thanks dpero.
I like the Mt Dew one.. this is my next build after i finish my race and freestyle clods:tmb

 

[CPH extreme]

anyone one have chassis pic's of bar tire sportsman/open I so i can get an idea of the type of chassis i need to build, and are tube chassis legal?

 

[Thunder VP]

A tube chassis is legal. Here's a couple under body pics of the Dew truck and a 4wd that shows the gear layout better.

I really like the mt dew rig...
Thank you for the pic's.
I think i worked out a deal for a machined aluim clod axle w/ full bearings and steel gears and a pair of aluim clod wheels

WHERE CAN I FIND THE STRAIGHT AXLE FOR THE CLOD AND GET RID OF THE DOG BONE. I HAD THAT ON MY OLD CLOD LONG TIME AGO.:tmb

MAHALO'S

Call Hooter Chassis at 814-425-3122. They should have what you are looking for.

I believe Hooter's still make/carry the 6mm Clod straight axels like the old Sassy Chassis axels that you had.

If you want a little more beef, take a look at the Thunder Tech 8mm axels as well.
