If your into RTR's that you just have to take out of the box, Clodbusters probably aren't going to maintain your interest.

For the most part they're project trucks. You never quite finish them, or when you get that last piece to finish your masterpeice, you come to the conclusion that you need to start all over.

If your interested in a mild bit of machining, sourceing parts from multiple vendor, and aftermaket companies, and really like modding, and putting your personal stamp on a RC, they are for you.

I personally like taking a collection of parts, and turning them into a beast of a Monster truck. Nothing jumps, hits, turns, or excellerates like a Monster, and depending what you do they can be almost unstoppable. The big negative is that for every hour of run time, you got 2 hour of maintenance.
