I remember a time back when R/C monster trucks looked just like that; a truck.

@vernhoke7730 4 жыл бұрын

I had one of the original Clodbusters back in the '80s. Added a homemade quad oil filled shock set up in the front and duals in the rear, stronger motors, dual batteries and aluminun wheels. It was painted metallic black and some Goodwrench decals. That thing hauled ass and climbed up about anything.

I just got into the RC monster trucks and almost done building my SMT10. After that I am definitely going to pick this one up! Love the black and red. Looking forward to the upgrade series.

This was used in an Australian McDonald’s commercial in the 90s. Where a kid straps a video camera to it and buys McDonalds from his house home alone style. It’s on youtube. Great commercial

Yep they're a lot of fun to be an old school, car crushing, monster truck basher. However you do have to be careful when making upgrades for speed. Brushless systems can be installed but the gears (the counter gear mainly) will start skipping when hitting the throttle too hard. And oh yeah adding the on axle steering servo does help also. I'd say the Clodbuster is a good addition to any monster truck fan's collection.

Bought one of these probably right about the same time you got this one, I still need to finish up the paint, but I'm thinking about the JConcepts steering kits, I really want the 4 wheel steering using a 3 channel radio like I have on one of my Wheely Kings on this one too. It's going to be a stock chassis truck, but I'm thinking of adding oil filled shocks to this and the Lunchbox Black Edition I bought in May as well and plan on adding working lights to both as well.

Great trucks for what they are. Kids now days have too much demands. Looking at cars juming over houses, makes you not want a Clod. About the steering: Switch the steering rods the way they are lining up better to the steering mechanism on the gearboxes. That way you get better steering on the front wheels. A few diy videoes out there👌

This is a great clip. Thanks for posting. Being an "Old School" M/T fan from the 80s,I 've been admiring these from the sidelines for many years. I may take the plunge and get one. How difficult are they to build as this would be the 1st RC build for me and I don t know anything about RCs beyond a 30 yr old " "Radio Shack" Ford Monster Truck that still "kinda " runs. Any hints or advice would be appreciated. Thanks again for posting.

so couple of questions, is there any oil shocks anyone can recommend and is there a servo weight that someone can recommend? ie. a 9kg or 15 kg servo ect, im considering getting one and doing some custom upgrades (on a budget of course, i get the feeling a super clod buster can be a king with the right upgrades)

@lance4906 4 жыл бұрын

Nice! While you still have those Clod tires, would you mind doing a comparison between that and the JConcepts Golden Years, Renegades, Firestorms, etc. I've always wanted to see a proper tire comparison.

@RC-ty5ym 4 жыл бұрын

Trigger King made a video about it.

@Jayare505 4 жыл бұрын

In terms of height for JConcepts tires, it goes Firestorms (tallest, 6.2”), Golden Years (about 6.1”), then JCT and Renegades are same overall height (5.8”). However, JCT are larger bodies with shallow treads, while Renegades are smaller body with a tall and deep cut tread. Compared to a stock Clod Tire, Firestorms and Golden Years are similar height but a little narrower. The others are noticeably shorter. There is a Trigger King Tech vídeo about tires but it was made before JCT and Golden Years existed.

I noticed when you landed after jumps, you landed on the rear wheels. Can you brake mid-air, to make it pitch forward to be level upon landing, or ...?

@TriggerKingRC 4 жыл бұрын

Braking in the does help in leveling the truck out, but with a slower retro truck like this, it is not quite as effective.

@acereport8939 4 жыл бұрын

I recently built one of these kits and I’ve been very disappointed with the steering setup. I was prepared to install 2 separate steering servos while using a FlySky GT5 6 channel transmitter for 4WS and crab crawl like a normal 4x4x4 Monster Truck RC. Sure, there’s aftermarket axle mounted steering “upgrades” available but these solutions require the removal of the front and rear red chassis bumpers. I wanted it to look stock and now I’m stuck with a truck that can’t drive properly. I was hoping to find another steering solution. One that doesn’t require the removal of those bumpers.

@RC-ty5ym 4 жыл бұрын

You can't mount a Servo on the axle without removing the bumpers.

@assymcgee2835 4 жыл бұрын

Dude I did a dual servo mid mount on my truck, but it would probably only work with an aluminum tub chassis. Repops are available on eBay though. Do I need to make a video?

@acereport8939 4 жыл бұрын

Assy McGee I understand that there are plenty of mods available for this truck. My intention is/was to keep it stock, however it seems that if I’m planning to driving this thing, I’ll need to upgrade to an axle mounted steering setup at a minimum. I’ve seen some pretty nice aluminum chassis on eBay. I’m just disappointed that I cannot steer properly without upgrading things straight out of the box. I have a lot of Tamiya kits and they rarely need upgrading straight away. If I could mount a second steering servo inside the chassis without changing the look from the outside, I’d be ok with that. I tried a using a 35KG servo and longer servo horn but it’s still too unstable for my liking 😞. My Redcat Racing Ground Pounder is much more responsive than the this stock Clodbuster. It even came with an aluminum chassis and axle mounted steering setup right out of the box, although, the Ground Pounder only uses a single motor.

I'm debating between buying this or the Axial SMT10, which one do you think is more for someone who wants the classic, old school monster jam feel.

@TriggerKingRC 3 жыл бұрын

These are 2 vastly different RCs. The Clod Buster will act more like a monster truck from the 80s, while the SMT10 will be more like a 90-00s style monster truck.

Primer would help when painting those hard plastic bodies. Lightly scuff the body first though. Make sure to use the proper paint for plastic as well.

This kit desperately needs to be updated. I just cant justify paying nearly $300.00 for a kit without bearings, anemic 540 motors and bad steering. When you look at what you get for similar price points at Traxxas and other RC kits....the clodbuster is a tough sell..
