The Clodbuster trap. Help me

Recommended Posts

Long story short, I've fallen in the Clod hole. 

I miss my old 6x6 wild dagger, so I battered my PayPal credit account and will be building a 6x6 Clod. Yay. 

So I need the outer plastic drive hubs but they are only available on the gearbox tree. The metal ones available confuse me with all the different conversion kits. 

As well as the metal parts often cost more than the plastic ones. 

For the price of replacing a few parts on an axle, I could have bought the whole axle kit. But looking at it,,, it is missing the plastic hubs,,, soo there must be a stockpile somewhere???

Or is it easier?/ Cheaper to just do a hex conversion??

Also the metal uprights that are available look like they still need the original Clod parts so I'll probably have a stockpile of gearbox halves before I even start.

I present exhibit 1

Is it a trap?. Or a hole?

It's big, whatever

Ran it a few times in this wheelbase and thought it was much better. Doesn't tip over so much.

Don't worry, I got carried away and ended up with many more parts than I needed. Normal behaviour in this club. 

Now I have a 6wd,

A rolling 4wd chassis, 

And I think 3? Complete axles. Lol

Some bits are going back on eBay.

I need more tyres, it's much more cost effective to buy the whole kit, but then you still need tyres so need another kit, ....and the cycle continues.

Tyres must be the hardest part to get right now. Lol. 

I was going to sell the Bullhead body but think it may suit the 6wd, so I should buy another Bullhead. Lol
