Hello Dave, my name is Jayson. :welcomeani: to:Tamiya1::crawlers:. Followed the link, it works. Nice group of LWB Clods. Looks like CPE chassis with 12 cells, should get-up and go! Not a alot of Clods on here, so it's good to see you and your fleet join us fellow monster truckers. :)

Right on. Now 55 turns sounds like a crawler to me. What's the wheel base on them trucks? Do you wire the batteries parallel and double the mah to extend your runtimes? I like the snow chains BTW. :thumb:

Hey, Willythickfoot (Dave) Nice trucks, I've seen them before. I just don't remember how or when. Your from my area, and I have been into the hobby for over 18 years and a year ago retired from a 2 year long Hobby Store period. Back into automotive, but I know I have seen that Penz. Clod before. Where do you shop for your stuff locally??? PM if see fit.

Nice clods. :) :)

Cheers.
