Still run mine. 1998 and 3-9 miles a year on trails and winters pushing snow . Pushed gallons of water and pulled a whole th400 truck transmission in a wagon from the 80s 12v battery, 550 case air compressor motors , evx2 and basic wiring diagram just like the original with hi low . . Awesome truck! Thanks for the video !
Still got mine! Got it when i was a kid my dad put it all together when i went to bed... shes all oem we even painted body red to match the box im sure the 7.2 packs are shot if i can even find em but shes still alive last i checked👍
Sold mine long ago but always had a soft spot for it. Watching the slo-mo footage it really does capture the suspension behavior of a true monster truck of the 80's. Just really bouncy and hard to land. I think that's part of the joy of driving it compared to all these really dialed in bashers. Where did you score the light bar in the bed? I could use that for a couple projects. Thanks!
At one time I had dual aluminum rims, but it did not work too well back soon because the servers were not strong enough to turn them. I still miss it even though I have several vehicles, several 1/24 scale and 1/10 scale. My wife even got me a 1/14 scale Tamiya king Hauler truck and trailer
That’s a cool.truck.I got the black foot.it’s a fun truck to drive.my dad had one when I was a kid.I put the mip diff in the truck and a hotter stock motor and put lunch box tires on it.it rips.for what it is.I run it on Nimh.haven’t tried 2s yet.
I put the MIP diff in my Blackfoot. I then put a hobbywing £180 brushless set up in it. It was completed overkill. It would wheelie on command. It was great until it completely stripped the MIP diff. Ended up sticking the stock diff in if and a sports tuned brushed motor 🤣
What servos did you use? My cheapo “13kg” rated servos are struggling to turn the wheels at a stand still. I’m using Jconcept’s BTA steering kit, front and back for 4WS. Have you tried them? I don’t think they’re ideal for bashing though, cause you’d lose some ground clearance. Good for racing though, front wheels steering only.
I graduated in 83, joined the Army in 84. & I been moddin' rc since 1979😁
(Damn im old!)
Right there with ya man

Seeing this took me back to being a kid. I wanted one so bad. It was the RC to have back then.
Nice truck I always wanted one. I was 10 or 12 . But remember the truck vividly it inspired me yo what I do still today. RC FOR LIFE !!!!!!
It rides just like the 80s monster trucks too just stiff looking...I love it!
Our old skool toys take us back. When life was simple . . Thank God for RC
Wow that was a trip down memory lane, great truck. Reminds me of the Tamiya Blackfoot i had in the early 90's
Love the CLOD. one of my favorites of all time from my childhood.

Awesome clodbuster
I still drive my tamiya blackfoot every once in awhile.Nice to enjoy these old rigs :)
all the motivation i needed to start building my kit. good stuff.
Nice throwback! Nothing wrong with a few shelf queens!
It’s so cool seeing that thing bash around love the old square body rigs
Cool truck. It really takes me back. I had a monster beetle back in the late 80s. I was in 8th grade I believe. Fun kit to assemble. Love the videos.
The Clod was the start of the $300 kit build that turned into a $2000 investment project. 😂😂
LoL YEP!
A classic truck that never went out of style tamiya forever great video looks good 👍
The original. Clod buster was my first rc truck
Still have my Clod, got it in 88/89 If I remember right.
What a cool rig. Great Vid.
Just show us ol’skooler we old 🤣😂✊🏽
Bad ass I build one for five months ago I put in 15 trun motors and two esc but I love your 🔥 kit
Love the old school stuff

Love your video. Getting 4 myself
I wished I had kept my Clodbuster, I had the second version of the Clodzilla race chassis for it with Midnight 2 pro motors. Should have kept it.
Hola como has configurado la dirección para que funcione así , le has puesto 2 servos?’como lo has configurado?
Yeah buddy I hear ya going to have to now speed up the progress on mine
I had one of the original one’s. It was a great truck.
The Epic Clodbuster!!!
Amazing how stable it is.

The clod is legendary
Awesome classic!
I want to when I was younger get this with 4 shocks each tire etc and lights I wish I could have

Are those stock motors?
Last year I gave the two I had to a kid to brighten his day.... What was I thinking??🤔
❤nice.
I just found my original clod. Bustee I'm looking to rebuild
Is That Stock Motor?
My buddy has an original one from the 80s
I had the Kyosho USA1 4ws
Hey Joe, I just acquired a original complete clod and an original complete USA1 if you know anybody interested.
3rd lol
