Looks cool. Crawling looks fun, but I don't think I would be able to stand around driving a truck stop-go-stop-go.

Actually it is not a crawler. It was mainly built for fun but I have raced the truck. I saw what I needed to do and will come back at the next race with what I hope to be a better running truck. I put it in the open class at our national event for fun. I need to get back on to some other threads to show what our local and national club does. A link to our national club http://www.nrctpa.com a link to our local club herehttp://www.ricrush.com/msdpt.html Thanks ERIC

Yes thats what it boils down to. If you look through those links you will see some pics and descriptions that explain it all. We have alot of fun at these events. We are all monster truck fans and this kind of racing lets us replicate the real truck and racing at a fraction of the cost. Thanks ERIC

Now that is very cool. I have since the Jumbo Kongs kit at hobbytown and always wondered how it would look on like a E-Maxx or a Clod. Your Clod is too cool.

Hey so I'm not the only guy who likes Clods around here. I like the kongs, I want to get some for the snow. Is the gearing close enough or are you running reduction units? Nice truck.

That's pretty sweet... sadly enough I think a clod is one of the only RC vehicles I have never seen assembled in person. :-(

Man I had 3 Clods at one point but I ended up selling them all. Lots of people say they want to get into crawlers and real Monster truck style bashes but there is just never enough real interest.


at one of the monster Jams years ago Brad Pitt (no not the actor the guy from Thundertech) pulled his chevy 1500 with his RC Puller. There is a video around of it too. If I find it I'll post it up.

1:1.. 01 Z28 Camaro A4 Sure.. its stock.
1:8's.. K3, Inferno GT, and a straight line beater car
1:18.. RC18t Mamba and 3s lipo
