    I love those things, I am a 32y/o fat guy who still acts like a kid and I love runnin over small dogs and chaseing cats with mine. I have an old Tyco Turbo Hopper with a retro engine in it that is fast as hell on the flats. The problem is it is jerry rigged to the point of no return and the 9.6v batt pack only lasts about 30 min of hard runnin. I terrorize the neighbors three Min Pins, they dig up the ole ladys flowers. Me I dont mind the dogs but I do mind the wifes nagging. So they get chased offt.

    I was typing a post here the other day, and my wife (practicing her reading from the other side of the room), was mumbling what I was typing, and laughed her a$$ off. Intimidating or what?!:rofl: I didn't know she has eagle's eyes.:rofl2:

    Thanks bro. I have 2 cliff climbers myself. Its simple yet works good. I am going to add BaneBot 390 motors, they are dirt cheap($5 each) and improve the Clod Stall. Clodstall is what you get when the truck starts to climb and the rear axle motor about stalls out and the front does 80+% of the work.

    This is one that I used a Clod Buster chassis and body to make a trail truck out of.

    Then once I upgraded it I added
    LED Lights
    IMEX Rubicon tires
    Duratrax Overlander wheels
    6.0v RX battery pack for the LEDs
    Made filler panels for the holes in the side of the chassis
    Lowered the body 1/2 inch and raised the susp 1/2 inch for a lower body stance, but more ground clearance.
    Added the Blank Chevy Grille some cool buddy of mine gave me.*
