hello all , im lookig for a clodbuster body , the re release body is ideal , damaged or shabby not a problem as i want to use it along with the body i all ready have. i want to build a extended body to fit the new chassis im building. cheap as possible please ade.

cheers danno , lower link plates are 2mm plate steel that was tig`d along the length and i used the tig torch to heat the metal up so could form it around the tube shape. yeah im think about that for the shocks. as to chassis colour , i aint got a clue !! i want a colour that stands out hugely , not yellow or green though as thats been done already.
-
latest updates are . front lower links turned from alloy and fitted with rod ends , link mounts made and tig`d onto chassis. as Im currently now unemployed ( made redundant 25/09/09) and looking at going self employed I should get it finished pretty quickly. more pics as I take them. thanks for the positive comments , ade.
tig welded a plate onto the bottom of the chassis to attach the links to. upper and lower links made from 8mm alliminium bar , cntre drilled and tapped to m4 , m4 studding fitted and rod ends screwed onto them. ends of the rod are turned down on my lathe to the diameter of the rod ends.still got to fit a mounting point in for the shocks , ride height not determined yet.

abit more work ,
lower link brackets rear bracing cross bracing in roof areaonce the chassis is finished the body has got to stretched to fit the new wheelbase, anybody have a damaged super clod body going spare in the uk?? .
would like to get the chassis powder coated once its finished , anybody know of a cheap powder coaters around birmingham that would do such a small job? ordered the traxxas rod ends off evil bay , got the aluminium bar to turn down the links.
more oics as it progresses.

not sure if anybody would be interested , but if anybody wants a scale tube chassis building for their car then im open to discussion. im based in the uk but postage abroad possible.

as a hint , a friend of mine used to repair electronic equipment , if he had a peice of electronic pcb that had got wet he used to re wash it in demineralised water and let it dry out slowly. he says the damage comes from the minerals causing shorts. once clean you could varnish the board for added water protection.

love this , i had one of these around ten years ago, brought it off my relative for 30quid. wish i still had it. yours looks cool.
-
yeah theres that option , but im trying to cut down on amount of equipment lying around.

this is after 6 hours work , the frame is 4mm rod from B&Q , its all TIG welded together. daft thing is its around a pound lighter than the plastic chassis.
placed roughly inplace to get an idea of where its going to sit. this is the first chassis i have ever built. still got the links to machine up on the lathe , and get decent shocks. i want to go for a full on race style monster truck rather than a crawler. any input appreciated , cheers ade

sorted now. mounted two servos in the bottem of the chassis , one on top of the other. controling the rear steer via a dial on chanel 6. works well.

looking to convert my super clodbuster in to twin servos to control the steering of the axles independently, got a 6 ch futaba and quite like the idea of being able to control the rear axle via a seperate channel. does anybody know where in the uk i can get the axle mounts to fit the servos to the axles , any help appreciated , does anybody on here make these items, ie twinset or the like , had a scorcher chassis fron him and the workmanships outstanding.
