Yes, another exciting RC project build to share with you! Greg has been dropping hints about this project for a while and it’s going to be a great one for Tamiya Clodbuster fans. A Retro Race Clod Build! In this two part video series, Greg is taking a brand spanking new Super Clodbuster and outfitting it with some killer parts from JConcepts. In this video we’ll show you the JConcepts Regulator Chassis set and steering option they offer to take the Clod from fun bouncing basher to race capable monster. Greg didn’t stop with just the chassis swap either. This truck will be getting JConcepts, tires, wheels, body and a bunch of other parts from aftermarket manufacturers. If you’re a Clod freak and want a killer Clod for your personal collection or to race, this is the video for you!

My vote is double shocks with the lightest springs possible.

You have a clod buster and your video you automatically get a thumbs-up in a like from me

@MatthewJorgensen1968 3 жыл бұрын

You could keep the double shock and remove the springs from one set, so you have all the absorption with out the resistance. I do that on my Bomber...

@CarminesRCTipsandTricks 3 жыл бұрын

My vote is double Shocks - only one having a Spring. That's how I'm setting mine up. 😉

@RCRoads 7 ай бұрын

Double shocks for looks and single shocks for performance. I would run it both ways and see how you like it. I think as long as they don't bind up the suspension double is fine. Your very experienced with setting up RC but I have not had good luck with duel shocks on other cars. Unfortunately I don't own a Clod Buster so I really don't know. It does look better. The chassis is absolutely awesome. Great share.

You’re going to love the chassis, and it’s a retro so it’s going to be bouncy regardless, but the weight in the middle keeps it going where you want regardless of what you decide to go with. Can’t wait to see it done! And if you want to race it, go with the JConcepts Silent Speed 27T motors. 👌🏻

Love the build! The clodbuster was my first hobby grade rc and my all time favorite. I found an old Clod recently for $50 and also put on the Jconcepts Regulator chassis and steering links, and rear lockout. I also put on the Jconcepts Golden year tires. I went with the Rc4wd Ignitor beadlocks and traxxas ultra shocks. Currently have dual shocks on each corner but might change it to one as it feels quite stiff. I went with the same body that you did and I added the Traxxas Bigfoot bumpers and roll bar.

I'm still thinking about the chassis for my next Clod project. I'll probably use the hidden steering from JC. That's perfect for my hobby style of driving and will improve the rig. But the chassis in my mind is more for competitions, which we don't have here in Europe. The chssis is great bur for my reqirements it's a little bit kind of overkill. This might be not so over the pond. So thank you for the presentation😀.

@galkawarrior 2 жыл бұрын

Thanks for sharing. I’ve watched this a few times already, and I just noticed that you were able to tuck the steering link that connects the servo horn to the carbon fiber rack. Mine kept popping off whenever I bash a little too hard because it gets snagged for being a little to exposed. I’m just a weekend basher so I use a servo saver. I’d have to look for a lower profile servo to be able do what you did. Thanks again for sharing.

What are the advantages of all the aftermarket chassis's? I see they cost alt of money but apart from looking good. What do they do that the stock chassis doesn't?

Why no rear steer? And are there after market chassis links that are thinner? Great build!

We’ll see how the front steer works. Using rear steer while at speed requires precision from the driver. Not sure on the links. I’m still wort my Clod parts knowledge. 😄

It’s such a sin to put a Ford body or anything ford on a clodbuster. Love the idea of the jconcepts but the cold buster Chevy body still is the best. I’m not a Chevy person by any means either lol definitely not a Ford. It’s more how the tamiya clodbuster worked so well with the original body. Specially tricked out.

@toyolien1694 3 жыл бұрын

I really wanted to build one of these when they were released. So I emailed Jconcepts with a few questions and also about availability for the UK. No answer. So I emailed again two weeks later. No answer. So I waited another two weeks and sent a third email asking a few more questions. No answer again. So I decided to put my money elsewhere.
