It's gonna look good. I always like clod projects. Makes me wanna buy one when I have the $$. How are the clods stock, just for running around?

ya know,...they arent a rocket by any means, but they dont do bad...if ya pick one up, make sure you get a servo with some serious grunt to it...as it turns all 4. If just bombing around is your forte' ...it really is a fun truck.

But,..by pumping 14.4v thru an MSC, then wouldn't that be sending TWICE the voltage to the steering servos, or are you using a seperate Rx battery pack?

Put two 13 turn mod motors in it, then put two li-po packs in it, and put a 14 tooth pinion on it, and a novak super duty ,
thats fun..
40 mph and change.. :)
But you won't do it with a stock chassis, and shocks, and links, and diffs...
