FOR SALE.... An original R/C Tamiya Opel Ascona. It worked when put away in the 80's. Still has it's mechanical speed controller. Shares many parts with the original Wild Willy. Rear end and original 540 motor should still be AOK. Could be easily brought back to life. Will go on ebay soon. Serious inquiries only please.
This is where it all started 1987 Tamiya introduced the Clodbuster I was 10 yrs old I thought it was the coolest thing on earth, there was something about growing up in the late 80s.
This makes me want to salvage my 20 year old King BlackFoot. But it seems to have lost the will to live. I've had my eye on that 6-wheeler Monster School Bus. Maybe some day.
a Friend of mine had the CLOD! Sadly he drove it up the Slide on the playground in the Backyard & it HOOKED a HARD Right at the top and KAMIKAZE'D to the Ground FULL ON HEAD FIRST! we Still drove it after that But she LOOKED FUNNY AS ANYTHING after that day! LONG LIVE THE CLOD BUSTER!
Awesome. first hobby grade rig I ever saw in action was a Clod. Somehow, I've never owned one myself. And you gotta crawl it a little. We probably wouldn't even have a rock crawling genre if it weren't for what guys did with Clods back in the day.
Thank you. Yes they’re the stock wheels & tires. Since this video I’ve changed the wheels to a set of Proline Brawlers with a wider offset which look & handle much better. Thanks for checking out the video👍
Hi there..am wonderin your opinion about the buster re realease kit..have u havin some trouble with the gear..are the gear gonna hold the double brushed stock motor??coz thats not gonna happen with the re release lunchbox..only hold a year until its torn apart by the stock 540 motor..but am realy love the tamiya chevron tires..tx in adv..cheers
Great video, real cute the way it does jumps! So does your Clod still have the mechanical speed controller in it and running a 2s lipo? Seems pretty quick! I just picked up an old Clod Buster tonight and will get it running soon and just wondering what to expect. I figured they were slow but yours is peppy! Thanks!
phw340 thanks very much. This is one of the newer Clods so it has the dual motor esc in it. I’m running a 3250 mAh 2S lipo with the stock motors, which I think is fast enough. I’m keeping this one fairly old school, so I didn’t want it to be too quick.
ChrisXMT Cool, thanks for the info! I was wondering as I just picked up a Clod Buster with the mechanical speed control and was wondering what to expect. Thanks!
It's the shocks that are rattling. They're just a cheap set I thought I'd try out, I soon took them off again! Apart from that it's pretty much stock, although I might upgrade a few parts at some point. Thanks for watching.
I think you should try king dual shocks 110mm or 120 mm they come two in a pack you will need four packs of those from rc4wd website or your local hobby town or hobby store anyways that’s my thoughts it’s up to you
Ever since I’ve seen this video, I’ve always wanted it. The problem is however is it’ll probably never happen due to the prices of $200 to $500 on eBay, both old and reissued.
Never had a Clod before but watching a lot of videos I always hear that rattling sound as the clod goes over ruts and bumps. Is that the body rattling on the chassis? Or something else?
Thanks for watching. The shocks were just a cheap set I bought off Amazon, thought I'd try them on this. They looked ok but as you can hear in the video they just rattled constantly so I didn't keep them on for long.
Amazing! I had a Fox but my friend Dow the street had a Clodbuster back in the 80s. He put two Trinity motors in. Made a bid diff
Love the raw video footage. gonna give myself one of these for xmas built tamiya car kits before but never built a clod buster!
Thanks for watching. Enjoy building your Clod, it’s a very nice kit.

i just got a clod, its steering basically doesn't exist, my 40kg is beyond over kill and i love it, im planning on some subtle mods with mine
Cool. The bashers of today owe these noisy, rattling modles, respect.
Great clod run man! sweet truck!
Thanks very much
King of the Road
Always wanted one of these since 96' when I was racing XXCR's. Good stuff!
Thanks for watching
This is where it all started 1987 Tamiya introduced the Clodbuster I was 10 yrs old I thought it was the coolest thing on earth, there was something about growing up in the late 80s.
Yeah best of times/music and life Hands down
The clodbuster will always be the best.
Awesome video man! I just finished a Super Clod Buster build today. Cant wait to get it out.
Thanks very much.
Fast forward three years : so how'd it turn out?
This makes me want to salvage my 20 year old King BlackFoot. But it seems to have lost the will to live.
I've had my eye on that 6-wheeler Monster School Bus. Maybe some day.
Still running spry as a spring chicken
Gotta love the Clod! I always wanted one when I was younger. I settled for Blackfoot.

LONG LIVE THE CLOD BUSTER!
Reckon the was Blackfoot probably more fun.. This thing is a bit of a lump
Love Clod Buster

Thanks. Yeah, I've always wanted one, glad to finally have it in my collection.
Gorgeous truck! Well done on a great video!
Thanks very much Chris. There'll be some more adventures with the Clod very soon.
Cool truck. I like how it jumped over the logs. Are those the stock tires and rims? They sure look nice. 👍👍
Thank you. Yes they’re the stock wheels & tires. Since this video I’ve changed the wheels to a set of Proline Brawlers with a wider offset which look & handle much better. Thanks for checking out the video👍

I think you should try king dual shocks 110mm or 120 mm they come two in a pack you will need four packs of those from rc4wd website or your local hobby town or hobby store anyways that’s my thoughts it’s up to you
Already done it, here's a more recent vid - ua-cam.com/video/PmOPQ5b2Xqw/v-deo.html
Cool thank you so much I hope you enjoyed it
Liked and subscribed. Very cool truck 👍
Thanks very much, hope you enjoy my other videos.
Do the front and rear steering share 1 servo or does it use 2?
Just one servo, mounted in the middle. I will be changing it to 2 servos at some point though.
Ever since I’ve seen this video, I’ve always wanted it. The problem is however is it’ll probably never happen due to the prices of $200 to $500 on eBay, both old and reissued.
if you never got one. They just released a new color and its in stock at tower hobbies.
Never had a Clod before but watching a lot of videos I always hear that rattling sound as the clod goes over ruts and bumps. Is that the body rattling on the chassis? Or something else?
It’s the body. The clod had an injection molded body
Great video!!!!!
Thank you
Welcome

Thanks for watching. The shocks were just a cheap set I bought off Amazon, thought I'd try them on this. They looked ok but as you can hear in the video they just rattled constantly so I didn't keep them on for long.
