When is x truck no longer x?

I see a lot of trucks on here with custom parts. Some to the point they have very little left of the original truck. At what point does the truck cease to be say a Clod Buster?

thats a good question lol my TXT has a GP chassis ,savage shocks TXT axles and trans with clod wheels

so i would say mine is still a TXT being i have the most parts of that truck still :tmb

Clods are easy because it's basically the axles that make a Clod a Clod. Whether it's actual Clod axles or a whole bunch of aftermarket made parts it's still Clod by design. I think with shafties it can get a little fuzzy. My brushless TXT, or what I call a TXT, is really just TXT axles with an E-revo trans, custom chassis, etc...but I guess since the axles are the largest major component and really dictate the design it's appropriate to call it a TXT.

Really as long as the layout is the same as a stock one then its the same vehicle. If you completely change the layout then its something different.

can you tell me what my truck is?
its a TXT stock frame with Gmade axles and rims with after market clod buster tires. Links and cross bars made to match txt specification and rear gear box has the motor facing out.

I'd say a gmade.

Yep. You've got a G-Made.

IMO, first and formost on determining what kind of truck it is depends on the axles, then the tranny and lastly the chassis.

I think the axles say the most about the rig. Is it a TXT, a Clod, a TLT, Axial, etc. Then the tranny makes a difference. For a Clod, built into the axles, it does double duty, thereby sealing the Clod name. For a TXT, you can use stock, which would seal the TXT name or you can use something else, which would push more towards custom. On TLTs, most of the time the tranny is from something else, stampede, axial, RC4WD, etc, which pushes it more towards custom. Axial can go either way. If you have the stock tranny then your running an Axial. If something else, then custom.
Chassis plays the final role in this. For Axial rigs, the stock chassis or custom one doesn't matter too much if you are using Axial axles and tranny. For TLT, the chassis doesn't matter much. But on Clod and TXT, where chassis have very specific names, it makes a difference. On these two the chassis name actually gets put into the name of the rig. example: Clodzilla or TTR TXT, etc

Just my two cents.
