Custom Clod Buster

I originally used scrap lexan, but this weekend cut, drilled, and bent mounts from thin aluminum plate. The problem with lexan is it does not adequately support the servo case tabs during an impact, resulting in broken tabs. A stronger solution is to get a BTA or Thundertech bumper / servo mount setup, or one of the other more stable mounts available, but I like this just fine as I'm not too hard on my Clod. It was fun to make too. -
Good morning everyone; I've been in the hobby for 12 years and had built an RC Guy Gecko-based truck in 2006, but sold it as I never actually ran it. Nostalgia got the better of me last year and I got the Super Clod, disappointed as I was with the monumental price hike. I love the style and handling of the stock truck though I tightened up the steering with bumper-mounted servos mixed in my DX4S. Retro Runner by Lunitic, on Flickr Climb The Hill by Lunitic, on Flickr Super Clod Buster by Lunitic, on Flickr Monstas by Lunitic, on Flickr I do have a question. Does anyone have mod brushed motor suggestions? The stock silver cans are slowing down as expected and I'm unsure even a low wind brushless system can match the low throttle smoothness of brushed motors. Any ideas?
