Thanks, Pink one is my Daughter's, Yellow is my Son's I bought these 8 or 9 years ago. My son is not really into it anymore I don't think, he prefers his drone. The Yellow wheels are from a Blackfoot I believe. 2 of the Chassis are Blackfoot that I converted to 4WD. I still have the front dummy boxes from them if I ever decide to go to 2WD. I wanted to Lock the Diffs in the rear and use them in the snow, but never got around to it. When I was a kid i had a Clodbuster I ended up selling in my 20's (should have kept it) as it was the Original.
Anyway, I have recently purchased a p407 and have gotten these out, specifically the Clod-Hunter.. I am going back to the wide stance as narrow stance it not quite what I was after. I will still use the Wild Willy Wheels and lower the body.. I will take picture of the truck when done. I also need to get a set of LEDs for the Headlights of the Clod Body and light those up with the Roll bar.

I have 3 of these.. all are dual motor all have ball bearings through out
- One is a stock dual hunter
- One has a Proline VW Beetle body with Traxxas XL5 ESC
- One is currently a narrow track with Wild Willy Wheels, Traxxas XL5 ESC , shocks from a Traxxas ( I forget the model)and Clodbuster body
-
So I ended up buying a p407a kit.. I will mod it as I see fit.. how is your Automatic shifting circuit coming along? I want to replace the motor in the kit and might need to do some of the mods you did for the axles to bring them in a bit

Will a 3 channel gun type Tx and Rx make the shifting work? say a Flysky GT3C Tx and the matching Rx
I have the same question. I purchased the p407a as I always wanted the Bruiser as a kid but I am not that into RC that I want to spend a huge amount for a truck that will get some use and be modified.
I have a Flysky GT3B That I will put the hack firmware on, but would like to find out how to setup the 3rd channel to control the 3 speeds

THIS!!! is impressive.. I really like the automatic you have created.. I almost bought one of these trucks and still might.. I always wanted one as a kid..

I have a hardshell Clod body on my WR-01 chassis. so anything that fits the clod should fit the length of the WR-01.
-
I made this a few years back, but shelved it due to lack of funds
Hey Twinset.. what wheels and tires are those bigger ones off of?
-
any suggestions for the LEDs for this set-up? I really like the grille assembly
-
WOW!!!!!
That is just awesome.. where can I get a set.
Very impressive work you have done

I have 2 of those 2WD front boxes...
My son has a Dual Hunter, my truck is a Blackfoot converted to 4wd, and my daughter has a Blackfoot with a Parma Beetle body tisll in process of going to 4wd.
We like using them in the snow and I have found the 4wd helps for this. I need to finish her car up so we can run them all again.. Mine is setup like the Amarok with narrow swing arms and WW2 tires..

Thanks.. I will have to look for it

So Jeff, I have 2 questions:
1.) Do you use plastic E-maxx shocks?
If yes, how do they perform?
2.) Do you use tamiya sport tuned motors?
If yes, aren't they timed? Do they run at the same speed?
1) Yes I think they are E-MAxx ( I know they are traxxas)
They seem to work well for me
2) I don't recall, when I bought them there were a few variations in them, I need to check.. I did not think the ones I have were timed differently

I have black can motors on mine and a Traxxas xl5 ESC
I have to ask what parts tree does the lower front nerf bar come on in your kit?
I want that for my truck
-
yes the arms are the Blackfoot/Dualhunter/Twin Detonator..
Yours are from another WT style kit but shorter.. I have installed the short ones on my Blackfoot kit as I wanted to draw the wheels inward.. I also installed Wild Willys 2 wheels

Project is making progress - all be it very slow progress . Delayed waiting for parts from the good old USA . . In a word - Frustrated .
Well if they are traveling through the Northeast they have about 100 inches of snow or close to it.. that has delayed much of the package delivery
-
those are like the Exceed kits here in the states.. I have seen a dual motor and a Shaft crawler from exceed..
-
been wanted to do the same.. build a scale crawler, but i don't wheel the RC I have now too much so it is a tough for me to decide to purchase an SCX-10. I want to use my Clod body on it though..
-
here are my three..
Well each of my kids have one..
my 4WD Blackfoot
My Daughters Blackfoot:
converting it to 4wd, just need a new ESC also she has the shorter oil shocks like my son's Dual Hunter below
my son's Dualhunter:

Thinking about going back to the wider stance on the truck, I like the narrow look and was trying to get it to look like a scaler, but I think if I went back to the wider look I can drop the body a bit and keep the Wild Willy Tires
-
I think I found the Tires:

Yeah, but I don't like the molded blower on the parma lexan body.. I might get a grave digger or something that is old but cool
-
Yes they do..
I also need to find another body, either a second clod body or a parma body, I like the 53 ford pick up but the wheel base is too short..
-
The tires/wheels combo are 2 sets of rears from a Wild Willy 2 ( more recent version)
That are smaller in diameter than the original Blackfoot wheels but I like them better with the narrow stance as well

changed up the Clod-Hunter. Wide stance and dropped the body down as far as I could.. need to get a new lower Diff bumper/Skid plate
