Tamiya Clod Buster upgrades
During lockdown, I got back into making RC models, but after buying a Prusa i3 Mk3 S 3D printer, I became obsessed with modding them.
This video shows all the modifications I made to my Tamiya Clodbuster. If you'd like to make any of these parts for yourself (non commercial only), you can download the files for free here: www.printables.com/model/82293-complete-upgrade-set-for-tamiya-super-clod-buster
If you want to see more like this, please leave a comment below and I'll start documenting other projects.

    Nice weathering. And a nice touch with the dog model and her ashes. After my almost 15 year old Yellow Lab died, I made a Tamiya Mazda 3 model (same as our car), cut out one of the back windows, and made a platform for a Yellow Lab model to sit in the back seat with his head out the window.

    been using some of your files with my own clod and having a blast though i'm still struggling with painting but thats more a issue in general is I suck at painting ANYTHING! But I've made myself a driver from a bunch of scrapped together gunpla pieces an put a fpv camera in the head and I can wait to get more of this sorted to drive it in first person an see the dash an wheel move along with the rest of the truck

    love it, but, not to be a stickler but you did all that work but still have the body posts sticking through the body.... like I said beautiful build regardless, no body posts would have completed it.

    • @goodtobegeek
      @goodtobegeek ปีที่แล้ว

      I did think about filling them and using magnets, but it's a really heavy body, and I wanted it to stay on in use. All the models I've built since also retain the body posts as I like to drive them. This has had a bit of damage through crashing, but it works with the look of it, fortunately

    • @goodtobegeek
      @goodtobegeek ปีที่แล้ว

      I think so, but check the voltage requirements of whichever you buy. I doubt much has NiCd now, does it? NiMH at most, surely? Unless it's proper old-school
