yep quarrys will do that kind of damage 🤣 my driveshafts were bent to hell last time i went to one the size of the rocks are insane there haha 😂

Today I just finished the last mod I would like to add to my Clod, the shock lift. Now I will just enjoy the bashing and jumping (a little 🙂). Mods that I have done: 1. Axle mounted steering servo F & R. I have to say this improves the truck maneuverability by 500%. Mounting kits are from Ukmonsters. Servo is 25KG torque one from Amazon. 2. Front aluminium bumper to protect exposed steering linkage and servo horn. I added this after the truck hits a rock and bend the steering linkage. Kits from Ukmonsters. 3. 100mm Aluminium shock X8. As clod does not need high performance shocks, some nice looking ones will suffice. But I am still pleased to say that the shock I got from Amazon is actually pretty good for only £35 (https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0816XY4W8?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details). 4. Shock lift (0.5 inch). This is the last mod I added today. After changing the shock, the ride height is too low and the axle mounted servo keeps hitting the chassis (the distance is around 1cm). By lifting the ride height, there is about 2.5cm travel distance between the top of the servo and bottom of chassis. Had a test today and it never hits again even with some jumps! Regarding the shock, I see from many threads that the stock shock will be enough. But after changing the Alu shocks I found: firstly the rattling sound of the stock plastic shock (pogo stick) is gone. secondly the truck body is much more stable. Also some say that 100mm shock is ok. In my experience it is too short, especially if the on axle steering is done. The vertically mounted servo (even the top is at the same level with the gearbox top) hits the chassis too easily... So either you can get 110mm shock straightaway or get a 100mm one with a lifter like what I have done. You can clearly see the difference before lifting and after in the pictures below. Here we go. Hope you are enjoying. Cheers, Leo

yup that one was painted by me, I still think it looks absolutely mega with those trenchers and that bodyshell 😍

Looks to be this paint I think https://www.modelsport.co.uk/product/tamiya-ps-46-iridescent-purple-green-polycarbonate-spray-paint-19084

Already have it in the basket 🤣

Cant take credit for the paintjob, I think that was @tanveer but I think its this shell https://www.modelsport.co.uk/product/pro-line-2017-ford-f-150-raptor-clear-body-403930

I just got all emotional reading this thread again haha. Must admit, that shell looked gorgeous but seemed very brittle. Glad you’re enjoying the Stampede, I think theyre a Marmite RC but to me, the Stampede is as important to my RC journey as any Tamiya. I was besotted with the 2wd one in my teens haha

I know this thread is old now but might just find and paint the same body in the same colour 🤣

Thanks for the heads up just had a message on my wanted add

she looks comfy there lol

Pandora decided that the wires for the heat light and UVB light are perfect to sit on.

Thank you

nice and quiet there storm but kills the RCs unless you use a 1/5ther tbh did my savox in 20mins 🤣🤣think steves savage will do alot better handling it 👍

My latest addition, quite special this and I'm chuffed with it as it was reasonably priced and is in pretty good condition.

Do bills and invoices count? Because I got a number of them today.
