idk how well received this will be! eek! but post 'em up if youve got them.
heres one of mine with a little AE bling...
.
heres my main beater, its stock except for a 5/8 inch esp lift kit. AE gold shocks.
peace .:gamma:.
ps. the gold shocks were way messed up before putting them on the clod, they are like beater spares... the worst of my bunch so you know. also plastic shock caps.
Sadly it has not progressed much more than what you see in the photos. To be honest if it were not for the Tecnacraft wheels and and the dirt cheap deal I got on it, I wouldn't have one. I bought this new built clod from a guy at an RC swap meet for $150. The guy threw in a free Boomerang which i turned on eBay for $80 so essentially I got this truck for $70. It's an early version with the Chevrolet tail gate and bowtie grill. Some day if I can score a sweet deal or I win the lottery, I'd like to have a full JPS chassis set up.
I love the clod. I had one for like 6 months when I was a kid, and it was sweet. Went over everthing, through mud, it was great. I think I traded my kyosho turbo optima to a buddy for it.
this is cool! some real nice clods, top notch! how is it that all you guys have super sick looking bodies? it must be a rc10talk thing to have nice looking bodies. =] i need to step it up! lol.
willythickfoot i like those chains! are they custom? i think i might try to do that now, i like all my clods to have a little something different to them like that. ill put one with chains too hehe. kool ideas here!
MelvinsArmy that body is sick, i like how its cut for the chassis to show out thats blinging right there. the body/chassis look so realistic like how a real monster truck might be.
here is an old pic of my first clod, I bought it used or traded as we kids did back in the day, picture was taken at a saw mill where I grew up, my buddies dad owned it and let us play in the sawdust mounds exhausted out the back of the mill.

I know the feeling, wish I would have had more pics of my old rcs. Great looking clod though!
I started on this Clodbuster a few weeks back and have been updating a current build thread over at Clodtalk.
Basically I started with a busted truck from eBay and scratch built the chassis, links, shock mounts, upper link mounts, (lowers were...

Got the truck running, took it for a test drive and broke a couple things. Nothing big. The truck with 5.5s is super quick, pulling wheelies. This will be a fun truck to drive around the house.
Everything is being ano'd hard black right now so when...

Thanks, yeah I've sold way too many of my clods. I only have one of the dozen I built over the years.... maybe I'll build another. Always been a fan of cantilever suspension, so if I see one I may have to grab it....
Well, the Clodbuster volcano in my head has finally exploded and I've decided it's finally time to try and get one. It will be a runner, I want something slower that I can run around my driveway without tearing up the driveway and have fun....

Do not use acetone on anything Tamiya. They are about 90% abs parts and will melt. I think maybe the only parts not abs are rod links for most models. The red or blue parts I think are also a nylon. Possibly a blend so don't chance it.
What ever happened to the coolest r/c monster truck ever?
Check out this auction, I've been watching it since it was posted. A Clod with a TTR Centurion chassis, the original, not the special edition, probably the most collectible and hard to find...

You can find reproduction grilles and tailgates on eBay for $22 each. Unfortunately they're not chrome. However somebody did a nice job with their 3D printer. While I know they're not THE sought after pieces, I think they look better than that 4x4x4...
Hey guys just got my first clodbuster (super clod chrome edition).
I wanna modify this beast but don't really know much. Ive heard there are mods that are a must.
Can someone give me some links to things like shocks, what kind of 4 link kit ect. on...
