| Further Description/Back Story | Here is my retro Clod build!
I’ve been working on it “on-and-off” all summer and now it’s finally somewhat complete 😉 . It’s a mix of old and new. After buying a new Clod kit the first piece I found was a NOS Sassy chassis then the aluminum 2-piece wheels and it just snow balled from there. There are also a bunch of 3D printed bits I designed and printed on my Prusa MK3 (radio tray, battery boxes, body mounts, wheelie bar, chassis filler panels) , I found the +10mm trailing arms on Thingiverse and made a few tweaks to them. The chassis has been flipped front to back so I could mount the body lower on the chassis and I utilized the existing front bumper tab on the chassis to mount the wheelie bar. I filled the existing battery holes in the chassis with two cover plates and mounted two battery boxes inside to accommodate two 2S shorty packs. |
