Wow, They are pulling out all the stops...Looks like the only change is they added ESC like the Clod.

I'm hoping it is a re-re and not a "super" version or whatever. Keep the original graphics, red chassis, yellow shocks, etc. Might be fun to have a box stock Bullhead to bounce around with.

My money would be on a re-colored variation of the latest Clod model (Super Clodbuster?) with a re-re of the old Bullhead body. If I was a betting man.

same old bullhead now with esc thats my bet

While we are on the subject of these trucks I have been looking to ask which 4X4 Heavy Metal styled truck people generally think to be the best? Is it a Tamiya, a Kyosho (USA-1) or something else? I'd like to have one of these big trucks for me and my son to mess around with. Personaly I would like something built to take a few knocks.
Any thoughts guys?

I would stick with the clod, Parts are easy to get and they make all kinds of aftermarket parts, The Kyosho USA1 is a cool truck but parts are very hard to find. You can build a complete clot out of alloy aftermarket parts that are still available.

i built this one from about 90% alloy parts lol



Or you can get really crazy and build a scale monster truck lol

I would have a go at traxxas Summit. It´s a durable truck and You can get quite some RPM parts for it.
Good for winter racing aswell.

tamiya txt-1 is by far the best 4X4 Heavy Metal styled truck .. the closest thing you get to a real monster truck.. i dont think you can still get them new.. emaxx is by far the best bang for the buck

Well the TXT-1 is the closest thing you can get to a modern day monster truck out of the box. The closest thing you can get to an original monster truck would be the Juggernaut.

I agree about the TXT-1. Straight out of the box it is easily the best monster truck. Clods rule, but you've got to do some serious modifications to get them to perform as well as a box stock TXT-1.
