my budget clod pounder build ( video added)

[TXT-2.0]

This may be a dumb question, where did you get the chassis at it looks really good, still learning clods, what to buy and where to buy

the chassis are the Ground Pounder plates you can get at CPE then i modified them to my application

:shk The black chassis and rims really make that body pop. Looks absolutely killer!!!

Are the shocks oil filled? Are you happy with them? I love the looks of them but scared to try them because I don't know if the spring rate would be too much for a WK application.

the shocks at the moment are just the springs (hard springs) the medium ones were to soft ...... now i did put a drop of oil on the shafts and it makes them very responsive

i do know guys fill them with very thin shock oil but for now im just running air , i did take the risk of trying them being Kent (HawnMT) runs them on his Cat TXT and has made them work :tmb

on a WK the soft springs or medium may do the trick being the truck is so light :tmb

i wasnt sure on the black wheels at first but it did pop the body ! so thanks for the kind words

OH MAN! That looks absolutely insane all blacked out like that.

Very ....Very nice work man!! I love it..

thanks Joe it did take some time figuring out where to cut the chassis so it flowed and that happened at different times of the build when new parts were added :bang yeah im a sucker for black so thats my default lol.....

Nice work Tom, that turned out great, simple and clean. The black wheels really set off that white summit racing body.

yeah its the epoxy on the floor , i would have done it outside but it was raining that day

 

[monsterjamman24]

So many expensive things to run into, like poles lol j/k, the cars would have really deterred me.

 

[ClodMonster]

You could of jumped it from car to car in that garage ( Bunnie hopping.)

 

[TXT-2.0]

^^ that would be a trick :rollfloor0

 

[ClodMonster]

Activate all the car alarms with it then run and hide. It be kind of like ringing the dinner bell for sharks.

 

[william g]

nice Tom
You know a sheet of plywood proped on the red 911 nose and see if you could land in the cabriolet would make a nice game. :laugh

Oh, nice job on those wheels too, they seem to spin pretty true. :racecar

 

[ClodMonster]

Hmmm...I'm thinking Jumbo Kong tires again lol.
