The design performed acceptable but had several shortcomings. The Clodbuster R/C truck is a great R/C truck, but served poorly as a mobile rover platform. The added weight of the radios and extra batteries proved too much of a burden for the single-servo steering mechanism. Also, the fundamental gear ratios of the Clod's drive were too high for a slowly crawling rover. The design maneuvered poorly in tight areas, and had trouble crawling over rough surfaces. Modifications have been considered to both the clod's steering and drive rates. Has anyone had a similar experience?
