I'm not looking to run in any crawler class, just drive around in the yard and brag that I have BL clodbuster. I would like to keep its factory appearance, stealth mode.
The clodbuster was my second rc vehicle right after my black foot. I souped it up with "Trinity Matched Madness" motors, adjustable gear mounts, 6 "D" size Nicad and Novak Rooster. It also had 1/4 scale steering servo on a custom mount, full aluminum steering bellcranks and .500 inch lift kit. It carried a 55 chevy truck body by Parma I think, painted yellow by me and had one of Parma's Hemi Motor kits poking out of the hood. I had the body so that it would tilt back funny car style and hid all of the electronics the best I could. Of course it had full ball bearings and a chassis brace "ESP" and two home made ladder arm braces. It was the coolest thing in 1990 (13 years old) (way before computers) I ended up trading the truck away when I was 15 for parts to my real 4x4, 1982 Toyota 4x4 with a 350 small block chevy and 35 inch Boggers on a 13 inch lift kit.
So this clod is something just to remind me a little of my past. haha
I will look into the sidewinder setup.
