My RC's - Centurion Clod
> TechSpec: Centurion Clod
> Intro
I bought this truck "pre-mod'ed", meaning it already had the new chassis when I got it. The chassis is a ThunderTech "Centurion Clod" made from carbon fiber, and comes with front and rear cantilevers. Its a very distinctive design, with an aluminum rollcage and very "scale" looks. What I really luv about it is the fact that its "scale" yet very strong and functional.
I run the truck with a pair of "Magnetic Mayhem" motors (excellent torque), and with the rear differential locked (excellent traction). The trucks stance has been widened with wheel wideners from "JJ's", which make it very nice and stable. Out of all my rigs this is the one with the real "monster looks", but that don't make it no shelf-queen. As all Clods are, its highly bash-able, and I use it summer and winter.
I have extended the trucks wheelbase from 11 to 13 inches, and I run it with full 4-wheel steering. In addition I have made some minor modifications to the rollcage and chassis in order to fit a Juggernaut F-350 hard body. There will be some more details of that later in the "Projects" section.
