Project: MAMMOTH - Tamiya Clodbuster
Here you will find up-to-date information about my Tamiya Clodbuster truck. The links under the 'Phases' document the evolution of the truck. Click on them for more detailed info and larger pics. Similarly, you can also click on any of the items in the 'Related Info' section.

Project Brief
This was the truck that started it all - my first MT. It's called the MAMMOTH because it's been customized to be a powerul beast that ploughs it's way through anything.

The Clod saw it's first major mod with an ESP Clodzilla conversion - an awesome chassis which has proven itself at NR/CTPA events. However, I decided to swap that aluminum chassis for cool graphite so I upgraded it to a Ripper chassis from Thundertech Racing - now it's as good a racer as it is a crawler.

Check out the various incarnations of my clod below... the pics get better with time too, as I upgraded from a lousy webcam to a digital camera.

Phases

Phase I
Phase I should be a stock clod but it didn't stay that way for long so no pics of that. Here you will see the ESP Clodzilla IV chassis and some custom mods for my truck.
Phase II
See my custom cantilevers that run on dual bearings as well as my new servo mount that increases steering performance as well as allow for massive articulation.
Phase III
The clod has gone through a TOTAL revamp! Gone is the ESP Clodzilla chassis, gone are the cantilevers, gone is the aluminum... so what's new - can you say graphite?
