I got my first clod in 94 for my 14th birthday. It was my first brand new rc. I was nuts about that thing! I foolishly sold it in my later teen years. Then I grew away from cods for their lack of scale realism. I watched all the other versions come out and ignored them. It wasn't until I saw this one that it reignited that wide eyed love I had as a kid. IMHO this is the best looking version ever released. Tamiya really nailed the retro 80's look with the sky blue and the blocky digital graphics. I ordered one as soon as the preorder was open and now I just need to get the time to build it. The 14 year old in me is screaming at the adult to "HURRY UP AND BUILD IT!"

This RC truck has been around since the 80s. Tamiya got that one right!

I have always had a look on this RC truck for decades. I was maybe 24-25 years old when the first version came out. I finally bought this gray version at last after 35 years at 60 years old… what can I say… i’m an old kid.

We love our clods. Mine is built with bearings and Holmes retro sport motors, my sons is stock silver cans and bushings. They’re a total blast to run together

I left mine the stock grey because I like it better than the dark gunship grey and it matches the wheels better. After I put all the stickers on it , it looks GREAT!

I built my first one in a 1987 when it first come out. I built about 10 of them for a local Hobby Shop because there were no ready to run then. I don’t see any sense in modifying it today because there’s so many other monster trucks out there like the Losey LMT The clog Buster is so cool just the way it is.

Awesome video! I agree to build the Clod stock at first. It's always fun to upgrade.

Love the Gray Clod.!! The infamous Clodbuster was my intro into hobby grade rc's. The Super Clodbuster was released when I got mine and I went with the Chrome edition. I found it so amazing that I made several mods on my chrome edition Clod and even build 6 other heavily mod Clod creations that you mentioned just from the gearboxes. I even made my own stub axles to fit any type of wheel and tire combo but the one thing I've yet to try is the behind axle steering. Hmm.....Guess I'll add that idea to my next two mod Clods😎

Cool video. I was into this hobby back when I was 15 years old. I'm in my 40's now and I'm thinking of getting back into it. Love the clodbuster. Be perfect for me because my driveway is gravel and I have a decent amount of property to run it on

Exceptionally well done on the running video, my friend!!

I always wanted a Clodbuster (and the Bullhead) as a kid. Managed to get a Super Clodbuster a couple of years ago. I put one of those engine sound systems in it as well.

That clod looks great 👍

100% that is the best looking clod!! I love that truck, just gutted we can’t get it in the uk without spending silly money on shipping and taxes 😢

So happy to see you got it done. Definitely a keeper. Thanks 😊

Another great video! Thanks for sharing the details about the rear steering delete. I think you’re right about the colors as well.

Looks sick Ari. The clod buster is cool too…

I love the way it bounces when it lands. Its so satisfying

Clod Buster!! Awesome, always! Mine is upgrade a lot. Still on the original chassis though.

Nice clod vid! I love clodbusters! I own every clodbusters and a bullhead the only truck I’m missing is the chrome edition that I’m still in search of and a bust up vintage 87 stuck in my closet that truck is about to get restored when I have time. 👍🏼

Nice build, looks really good. My favourite Clod is the Chrome edition.

Came out great man.

Really like the flat grey and black!👍🏻

Looks EPIC Ari....

I’d have to agree with you as far as modified Clod Busters not being a “Clod Buster“ anymore, but with an asterisk. I think, as long as it’s mostly stock, it’s still a Clod Buster. If it’s modified to within an inch of its life, I’d call it “Clod based“ because it’s not really,l a ClodBuster anymore, just as you said.

Looks great Ari. I agree that the grey edition is the best looking Clod. For me, when the original chassis gets changed, it is no longer a Clod. Just my opinion.

It's best to have more than one Clod. I have one stock (except bearings) and one heavily modded. Best of both worlds.

Looks tough Ari. Get some Limsips iinto you ! Hope you feel better next video!

How well did the decals adhere to the matt finish? Great content as always btw. Really enjoy your no "fluff" video's and your passion for the hobby. I think you have a really unique channel here.

Agree with you a 100% if you change most of what made a clodbuster a clodbuster…it ain’t no clodbuster anymore.

I’m debating buying a tamiya kit, or buying 100% aftermarket parts. Both are awesome rc but I don’t think you can get rid of 90% of the car and still call it a super clod. Nothing wrong with that though. They make excellent scale monster trucks that can do more and look better than a LMT, and the best part is that it’s not a losi. Should I buy all the aftermarket parts and build one from scratch? Or buy a kit and keep it beautiful, or both? Both is good too.

clod on the track=cryingtime lol

i just got a normal clodbuster, so far of what i have seen, the only mods im going to initially plan to do is forgo the bumpstops on the shocks and trim the chassis tub to allow for full use of the shocks and get oil shocks that fit (except ballrace, i don't even consider it a hop up, i just consider it to be standard parts that i get automatically) so whats up with the tyre wax? just scrub the tyres in hot soapy water or leave them to soak?

Change the motors a options

Do you plan on getting some aftermarket motors to make it faster? I would recommend jconcepts silent speed 17t adjustable timing 540 motors. Just a thought.

Purchased my First Clod Buster, First RC kit. I ended up buying the Tamiya Servo TSU-03. For some reason, it did not come with screw. I am new to this. No idea what kind of screw to use. Is it a slef tapping screw I use? I don't see threads on the Tamiya Servo. I tried to use a 3x6 machine screw but did not fit. I didn't want to force it. Advice?

How wide of turn does it make with the rear locked?

Why did you lock out the rear steering?

You've seen the Chrome edition haven't you? Too bad they don't make it anymore.

Looks awesome ! Love it mate 🔥

Could you tell me What is the number of tamiya color ?

Bust my buns
