|  Clod FAQ and Directory How do I wire the motors: Clod crawlers should be wired in parallel. Clod Wiring Diagram http://www.utrcrc.com/tech.html What about ClodStall?? Can I just an another esc? Quote:
There was a time when we had to modify the cases to fit different pinions. Now the best thing to do is check with any of the vendors for adjustable motor mounts. They are inexpensive and much better than trying to modify the gear cases. What motors should I use 65 and 75 turn motors are great for rigs running big 6.5"+ tires or heavier rigs. They have loads of torque. 35, 45, and 55 turn motors are great for 2.2 Clods or lightweight rigs running bigger tires. These offer more tire speed than the 65 and 75 turn motors but have less torque. Consider running 8 cells or more, most lathe motors were designed for 12 volts anyway. Personally I like to run 45T or 55T motors on 8 cells. Brushless motors have loads of torque and can spin fast as well.

How do I shave the axles: Shaving the axles on a 2.2 Clod is a must for any decent ground clearance but it helps even with the big tires.

Clod axles have a 12mm hex, many of the vendors sell hex adapters and wideners to allow you to run wheels with 12mm hex, 14mm hex, 17mm hex, and 23mm hex. TMaxx, EMaxx, Savage, etc wheels are 14mm hex so you will need a 12 to 14 mm adapter. Proline 40 series wheels can be found in 14mm hex and 23mm hex. Axial 40 series wheels use a 17mm hex. Maxximizer wheels come with 14mm hex or 17mm hex. MAXX wheels mounted to clod without adapters.
