I built up a Super Clod Buster recently, havent driven it other than in the house as I don't want to take it outside in the wet yet, but the steering seems quite sloppy. Bump steers a lot, and the thing doesn't really seem to know where it wants to go a lot of the time. I think I could tighten up the servo savers a bit more, I did get a beefier steering servo, so it could take that. I could change to a servo on each axle, but that is an expense. I'm just not thrilled with the handling at the moment, so if anyone has any tips I'd love to hear them, thanks!
@t6finch that's awesome you got a clodbuster! Pretty much the only way to get really good steering is to convert to on axle servo mounts. The fun part about owning a clod is modifying it little by little
@@clodbusted1776 I think the way to go will be on axle servos. I looked the kits up today and they aren't at all expensive, even for smart carbon fibre ones. That's one of the reasons I got a clod, because there is a huge following for them and you can mod them so much! Also when I was really young someone at school had one and I loved it, but couldnt afford one then. But now I have one and am very pleased! THX for replying, buddy :)
As a Truck driver my self i like your videos a lot. I'm a RC Monster Truck and Crawler fanatic As i see this i want to bring my Clod back to life with brushless motors. But i guess the old Esp chassis isn't up to the task.
I want to get into crawling too I have a carisma subaru brat that I want to start modifying. Those old esp chassis are very strong I've never had one fail I wouldn't hesitate to put brushless power to it
So you are planning on also having a truck-based hobby shoppe that specializes in trucks only and monster trucks obviously. (TRUCK BASED) Cool. Keep the number of models low so you can keep inventory and specialize. Ok, where did you plan on having the outdoor track, with a simple and open, decent pit area for wrenching? The best track for monster tucks in the northeast BTW! Twice-a-weekend races with a grand final with an awesome prize.
