Doesn't look right with those wheels and tires. Needs the old school ones like the clods or juggs

They sure made it look "busy"!

lame, looks like a current SC truck with slightly bigger wheels.

Plas-tastic!

aahhh that chassis bothers me.. why not all alloy? as for the wheels and tires im a fan cause i bet they can take more of a beating and steer better. i thought this truck with alloy chassis single brushlerss motor set up and 4 shocks instead of 8 would make one of the best bashers of all time.

LOOKS like a RADIO SHACK wanna be hobby grade rc car lmao !!!!!! don

I just don't get Tamiya some days. They undo all the amazing work they do now and then with pap like this, it really is awful, and a toy in comparison with the TXT1. Give it an alloy ladder frame, and some decent rims, and i can forgive a bit, but this, and the wheelie tractor thingy.........well, they better make amends with a 959 or Egress re re lol.

Well, the good news is that TXT-1 and Juggernaut owners can stop worrying about replacement parts.

I'd have preferred a Juggernaut 3 over a TXT-2, but nobody asked me.

Weren't there rumors of them eventually coming out with a new Clod? Since all they can seemingly produce now is garbage, I actually hope they don't as it will look like this abomination. Wait a second... Maybe this is the result of all the rumors.

I'd guess that the rumor wasn't started by anyone at Tamiya. I can't remember anything ever leaking out of that company.

As for prices, that's a good question. I know inflation always makes things cost more, but Tamiya prices really do seem to be going up.

So disappointing. Back when the TXT-1 came out I stopped at the LHS (now gone-big surprise!) and they had a demo kit. You know, the one with the big "not for sale" sticker on it? Well, $250.00 later it was sold. I had so much fun building and driving it. Times changed (wife and kid) and I sold it. Now, the kid is big enough to drive, so I was excited to hear Tamiya was coming out with a new one. What a cheap looking vehicle. Plastic all over. The wheels and tires look to be leftover Tonka parts, and the body? Stadium truck on a monster truck? My former neighbor left me 3 original Clod Busters-mostly damaged, but enough to make one runner. I guess I have a winter project now.
