[QUOTE=Muskoka's SuperClodBuster;767062]Thanks for the info Phil. I have the Clodbuster and SuperClodbuster of which I just purchased last month through GreatHobbies.com. I also have the BullHead. I've posted photos in ClodBuster Rigs topic. I also have a very big scale of a Volkswagon RaceCar
powered by two 7.2 volt battery packs. But is only good on ashphalt with the foam tires it has Luckily enough we have a circle driveway that is mostly paved,so lots of area.
The back tires alone are about the same height of the Clod tires. BTW Have you ever tried a truck with four wheel steering? Just curious if you ever have.
I will be replacing the mechanical speed control on my first Clod as it is very old and it gave off smoke as I tested it out for two seconds on the bench over a month ago as it has not been run for four or five years. So I will get a replacement controller through GreatHobbies, Gotta love that electronic burning smell though you'll get high off of it. I had this first Red Clod since 1989 and has been well taken care of through out the years. I have a spare set of Clod tires so I can put all eight on the truck but it puts more stress on the gears. I also have lots of plastic spare chrome and black Clod parts in the tool chest. I was first prize winner of this truck at the Huntsville Fall Fair when I was seventeen. This was before it was painted red.

Thanks[/QUOTE]

Re: finally a awesome track in MUSKOKA!

I just spoke with Carrissa at Madtrax. Due to a couple of late snow falls they plan to open up at the end of May. No fixed date yet. The crew is currently building in the rain.

I can't wait!!!
