Nothing like an old stocker brought back to life!

Can't decide on paint, so it's going to stay white for a while longer I guess

And why not some pics of it's modified brother, a bit dusty after a quick run.

I've been thinking about getting a clodbuster recently. It looks like fun, but I'm kinda torn between the the clod and a txt-2

I really like all the other Tamiya monsters too. In fact the others are even neater because they use a more realistic drive line. I go with Clods because they are a bit cheaper, more available, and I am familiar with them. Maybe one day I will get a TXT or Jugg but don't know when.

Post up some pics of whatever you get!

Ah yea that makes more sense now. I did find one other ESC that looks promising. The Hobbywing Quicrun WP 860. That on 3s with a pair of 20T Orion Methods sounds like a killer combo for the price. For the price of that ESC, it would be worth a shot I think!

Nice looking trucks ya got there! I agree with you, I someday hope to own a TXT-2. That is the best looking MT ever made IMO. Much easier to upgrade the motor/ESC on that one than a clod as well I'll throw a nice sensored brushless set up in it if I ever get one.

Wow man that WP-860 looks great! I may have to try that one out, dual motor leads sure does make setup a little easier, and it looks to be spec'd out to handle the larger heavier trucks.

For sure! I stumbled onto that awhile back when looking into a Clod, before I decided to start my Tamiya collection with a Lunchbox instead. It looks like it was actually meant for trucks like the Clod or maybe even Traxxas brushed trucks. The amperage ratings on it look promising, it should have no issue running 20T mod motors I'm thinking. I have an Orion 15T double I use for my Revo, and that's rated at 22 amps under load.

Lets not leave out the Clodbuster's little (big?) brother - THE MIGHTY BULLHEAD!

It's complete and rtr with 55 turn motors installed, but I stole the fuel tanks for another truck and eventually the body will be used on another truck too - but for now it can cling to a few moments of glory!

Any ideas on a tough shell for bashing my Clod (its running twin brushless on 2s) I dont want to ruin the original chevy badged one

that bullhead looks nasty ! dual tires look meaaaan !

Just ordered myself a clodbuster. I can't wait to build it!

Ended up taking them off because I thought they were better suited on other trucks - Here are pics of one of my Clods putting the single version of the tires through the test!

totally suited to mud !

I finally got my first Super Clodbuster finished up. I went with a box style paint job, I think it turned out pretty well.

As you can see I've already changed a couple things, t-maxx shocks, 3d-printed 1/2in lift (designed and printed by me) and 17.5mm offset pro-line brawlers.

I hoping to design and print up some axle bumpers with servo mounts next

In the mist of doing a race Clod but thinking about abandoning it. Then again, it's a Clod....a real monster truck.
