Recent Progress On A Couple Of My Trucks

[pumpkin73]

Although I am not on this forum too much, I really enjoy it as well as Tamiya R/C's. Unfortunately, I have soo much other stuff going on I don't get to dabble too much with them, so they often sit for a great deal of time. Anyhow, I got the bug again and rebuilt these two guys from the stock rides they once were. They are not done, but I have everything for them to make them drivers. Hope you like them, comments are welcome.

The Clod Buster is now a Clodzilla II with the usual Clod upgrades. Will do a modified box art paintjob. The Midnight Pumpkin is heavily modified with lots of vintage and present hop-ups. It is painted to mimic the So-Cal Speed Shop shop truck from the 50's/60's.

Great progress - that pumpkin has a sweet paint job. Any chance you could list the hop - ups or show us some body off shots of the pumpkin ? Good idea to keep the original clod body too. Keep us posted on the progress.

That So Cal pumpkin is great looking

I like the White Clod, which is compliment indeed as I don't really like Clods! Good job mate.

Thanks everyone, wasn't sure if anyone cared due to lack of replies compared to views.

I do not have any Pumpkin chassis shots as of now, but can once I get my camera back. It does have ball bearings, CVA shocks, CRP HD knukles, CRP HD steering kit, Tamiya chrome 2.2 wheels, Pro-line Moab tires, Parma wheelie bar, 3rd shock mod using Grasshopper shock, shock tower stiffener, ESC, Sapphire motor, Tamiya headlight kit, and a chrome Clod Buster roll bar.. I have a Blackfoor driver tree I might try to finish and install.

The Clod has a bunch of ESP stuff...zilla II chassis, lift, front & rear bumpers, wheelie bar (not pictured) & cantilever kit (also not pictured). It also has a Crawford Performance locker in the rear (maybe front later, I have it), alum bed cover, and wheel wideners. It has Traxxas oil shocks with Pumpkin chrome springs. I still need to dye the stock clod red colored steering parts black and finish assembly. I have a Parma Hemi engine kit I might put in one day, still tossing that idea around though.

Thanks for the compliments everyone!
