I love the decals.

Glad you figured it out.
-
I think you've already done this, but have you tried switching places of the left and right axles?

The socket head screws were not long enough to reach through the plate for me, too. I found some longer ones on CPE a while ago, but I can't find them anymore.

This puts me in my happy place.

Amazing. Love the creativity.

To put it simply that is a job well done. Looks like some navy sub on wheels (no offense). You could stick these where you were going to put the moon windows.

Where'd you get that idea?

Did those bodies come painted in black?

To stop the plastic servo savers from flexing, this might work.

Under features:
Efficient rubber-sealed ball bearings
The Stampede overview says it comes with full-color instructions. How are they if anyone has/had Traxxas manuals?

@Jason1145 , Those tires are different than my RTR Stampede.

I have a Clod and an RTR brushed Stampede. Even though the Stampede outperforms the Clod in many ways, (well, for now. I got some upgrades planned for my Clod.
) I still love that Cold more mainly because of the fact that I know the truck inside and out because of it being a kit. Also, it has a bit more realism. -
On 2/25/2019 at 8:36 PM, GooneyBird said:I'm working on something which might improve steering quite a lot. On a stock clod the steering arms run a bit funny. The rear arm is nice and parallel, but the front arm angles up. This is because of how the servo arm is situated in the truck. Since I mounted a larger servo arm the effect is even worse. This causes the front steering to be a bit soft, and have less thrown than the rear steering.
But what if we flip the front ball socket around?
It looks a bit bodged together because I didn't have a 6mm ball connector stud long enough to reach all the way through (since you lose the hole for the nut). From top to bottom: 20mm Tamiya screw, the original nut in the original cutout, a 1mm spacer, one of those push-through ball sockets you sometimes see in shocks, capped off by a lock nut.
This ensures that the steering arm to the front is now parallel with the ground (and more importantly, with the rear arm)
You can see how it doesn't angle upwards anymore (front is left side of picture). It works well, the front steering lock has increased a bit, but more importantly, it now steers at the same rate as the rear wheels. This means that when you go full-lock, it doesn't kick out the rear first before pulling the nose in. This makes it far more natural to drive, for as far as a 4 wheel-steering car will ever feel natural to drive to a on-road track rat like me.
I quoted too much, but that's a great idea with the steering.

I know you said you didn't want serious modding, but this could be for some inspiration. Leave blank to use URL :-) He's got it on 2s with a 3900kv motor, I think.

Is it open-cell or closed-cell? I understand if you don't know.

Want that cage.

Is that roll cage real metal? Where can I get one?
I'm impressed.

I think I will be tuning up my Traxxas Stampede and Clod.
