Just joined up tonight so figured I would say hello. Been a member over on Clodtalk since it first started up so figured I would join here finally. In my late 40's and got into Rc back in the early 1980's with a hornet, then Fox, big bear, Rc10, Clod and many other rc's, Got in & out many times over the years but finally jumped back in about a year ago with a couple custom Clodbuster builds. One a full on power basher with hand made carbon fiber chassis and Castle5700K 3S dual Mamba-x brusless setup, and the other a custom tuber chassis I made with 1/4" & 3/16" brake line then powder coated. The tuber is not fully done yet but close, just needs electronics in it is all now.
Thanks for the welcome.
Matt I dunno what took me so long. Had been meaning to sign up over here forever but just kept forgetting and after talking to Halgar recently I finally decided to take a few mins and sign up.
Hello all, I see a few familiar faces from clodtalk here. I figured I'd share my latest clod-build here. Not as crazy as some of my previous builds, but I think it's proving to be pretty well-balanced.
Basically stock, except for the e-maxx shocks...

I've been on a Craigslist streak recently; I've found 3 or 4 good vehicles in the past couple months. Here's my latest, a tired old Clod Buster that I picked up for the princely sum of $50:

Out of curiosity, I stuck a...

Been running this old monster quite a bit recently. I'm thinking it might be time to tear it down and make a few improvements. In the meantime, here's some hot Clod action for your Wednesday evening:
Here’s the start of my first ever Clodbuster build. Really no clue how to build a monster truck and I don’t always like to build off of proven platforms so I’m going back to my old school crawler roots and scratch building as much as I can. Here’s...

I was ready to make the (final version) of the chassis but was put on hold until I had electronics. That stalled me out because I wasn’t ready to buy at the moment and now I’m just lacking motivation to RC. I’ll get to it one day.
i wanted to share my clod with you guys who aren't on clodtalk.
i always wanted a clod as a kid, never ended up with one because i was heavy into racing.

Some delrin wheels with a different offset would be the ticket and they can be machined to spin super true. I had the idea to machine the wheels with a different offset two years ago bit never did it. I need to get back on that. You could still...
I used to have a close on a Zilla 2 chassis I sold 7-8 years ago and have since regretted. Anyway this popped up on the local CL about 20 mins away from me and at a reasonable price so I pulled the trigger. When I got home there were some killer...

Nice find! I too regret selling off all my clods years ago as well!
Hold onto this project and I look forward to your build. You have some nice vintage items in there as well!
Has anybody ever made a blower hole filler kit? I'm sure it's probably easy enough to fill in, but making that ridge in the center line up and look just right has always scared me.
