In this video, I paint up the Super Clod Buster body, apply the decals and take it for a blast in the garden.
Great low-cost £9.85 each 25KG waterproof servo that I use in my RC cars.

Did mine in the recommended colors Tamiya Mica Blue and Gunmetal but I like the all-blue. I skipped all the decals except for Color Works on the lower rear quarters and 4x4x4 on the tailgate. I'd wanted the original Clod for years so hand-cut the decals so it just says Clodbuster. Very happy with the result.

Well done on the body. Looks really nice in the blue. Going to do mine exactly the same. Etch primer unfortunately only works on metal because of the phosphoric acid in it.

Hi mate, I can highly recommend Upol clear high pressure cans, they also do black (satin, gloss, matt), white and silver but the clear lacquer is a game changer, heat is a must and will vastly reduce the amount of orange peal.

Nice work. To leave a gab on the side decals was the right decision. Carefully cut the front decals with a sharp knife, at the corner of the cabin. Then aline the rear ones at the corner, don't go into the gab. Or you get problems with the decal at the back. If you want to fill the gab with black trimline. I recommend the chassis conversion kit from Jconcepts and the servo conversion kit (one for front steering or two for four wheel steering - third channel and a mixer should be kn the radio system).

The real issue is one servo in the middle of the truck is just too far away from the axels and in the linkage, you find way too much slop.

The automotive paint really pops, did it take a lot longer to dry than the Tamiya paint? When I’ve used other types of paints it usually does . Like the fact that you plan on using instead of shelving it. Great video Gavin keep up the good work.

Thanks so much for this upload. So I picked up a Clodbuster at an estate sale this weekend. I would like to upgrade the bearings in the transmission and make a few other modifications, but before I do that, I want to be sure I have a clodbuster and not a super clodbuster. I have tried to do some digging online, but I am not clear on the differences. How do I tell the difference between the models?

self etching primer will not harm hard shell body's . not sure about poly carbonate though. great vid awesome rc ..pro tip always cut parts from sprue before painting or you will just end up having touchups. Also you can use a razor blade to cut off the clear drips and then wet sand like normal.
