The 2.2 is the Red Emaxx Bodied one.
I plan on Dyeing the rims Black , I started to go with chrome , but for crawling they would like terrible after a couple runs.

Thanks Guys , I really like the red and black better but wanted something different as I painted the last one red and black. Marty got it in a trade , but im sure he got rid of it by Now  I really didnt plan on the general lee theme it just sorta fell in place . I went Orange / black and then realised I had the sticker hehehe The Ford Body on the Ripper went on the 2.2 tonight , So I might keep it as it looks pretty good. |

Yup,
We have a class for 2.2 only.
Was going to go with a TLT for it but decided the CLod axles would be better and allow more clearance.
I havent used it in a comp yet , But hope to soon
Still need to change all the springs to white ( Soft ) and Im done with it.

They got some videos of the Clod 2.2's in action over at www.utrcrc.comComparing to a TLT , the clod doesnt have the center tranny to mess with so clearence is better, Also doesnt have the Torque twist like a Shaffty. |
