- In this video, I finish painting the massive Tamiya Monster truck body as well as replace the missing bearings and fitting two more powerful brushed Kyosho Mega Monster motors. The ESC has also arrived, so that is the last piece of the puzzle.
Is this the best Tamiya Monster Truck ever built, let us find out how well it drives. In an upcoming video, I will put the TXT-2 head to head with the most famous Tamiya Monster Truck of all time, the Super Clod Buster.
Stay tuned as this one is going to be an epic showdown.

Looks like a highly modified CLODBUSTER! Loving this truck!!
Blimey....Massive. Great paint job
I have the original Clod Buster and original TXT-1. I have to say, the TXT-1 is the winner just by design and build quality. You can sometimes see them in my videos. The Clod Buster I have had for 33 years, and needs a total restoration. Only looks good on the shelf because the body is near perfect and the Sassy Chassis looks great.
Metal is absolutely the correct music for Monster trucks and drag racing, much prefer it to your normal music choices, but horses for courses! Keep up the good work Sir.
Great video series. Thanks for making.
Thanks for watching!
That Agrios at the end looks proper😁 also that blue is Killer! Awesome truck
Sehr sehr schöner Monster Truck
i have a Clod and a TXT-1. And out of the box, I'll say that the Clod is more fun because it's lighter, higher geared and faster. The TXT-1 is heavier and lower geared but has insane articulation for crawling. I modded my TXT by reversing the trans and battery compartment, adding reverse rotation Traxxas Titian 14.4V 550 motors, dual batteries and Novak XR Super Duty ESC. Now It's fast and has tons torque for crawling. I go easy with high speed and 4WS.
Indeed painting lexan bodies takes a lot of patience and time but it's so rewarding when its finished. You've done an awesome job on the paint job and the overall build. Truely inspiring it is!!
Thanks Rodney 👍🏻.
The blue really pops
It was definitely a good decision to change to the blue instead of black. The red also turned out great👍
I appreciate the improvisation on the paint. To me, working with a tight RC budget, it’s very helpful getting ideas to just use what I have on hand to make the project pop. Thank you
Truck turned out fantastic!
You’re gonna love this truck! There’s so much you can do to it. Great platform
Can you get parts anywhere for it?
And good metal soundtrack👌
The blue looks great and the Clod tires should be standard on the Agrios .
I agree about the wheels. Much better
Yes, I don't know what Tamiya was thinking when they put those weird wheels and tires on this truck. Definitely need Clod size tires.
You have done a quality paint job on that looks mint
Cool rig and good job on the video. If you got no metallic colour, you can work with the flake paint before putting on the right colour. Try the work first on a rubbish piece of lexan to get the perfect result on the car.
That’s what I did in the video with the flat red
Judging by the thumbnail, it looks great 👍 👍
Yes I modified my clod.both suspension and steering
That looks the business!
Damn, that monster truck looks awesome!! I love the red and blue, really suits it much better than red and black would have, and those Clod wheels and tyres make it look so much better too! Great video as always!!
Looks great, nice job, what a difference the "Clod" wheels/tyres make...wow!
That's a top job, it's come out really good. Clod wheels look spot on. 👌👍
The roll bar shading effect is epic. I need to try that. Thanks for sharing.
Bloody stunning
Love it! I’ve never been a fan of the supersized kits but I’m loving this
You made me wince when you were firing stones near that lovely Fiat Barchetta 😮
Wonder if he got in trouble with the Mrs? 😂🤣
That is stunning Gav! 🙏🙏👌👌😍😍
Ive only recently subscribed to yr channel. I love what u do and love the tamiya kits. I think the blue & red suits it very well. I was brought my first tamiya kit when I was about 12 years old it was the Ford Escort cosworth Michelin Pilot Rally Car I apsolutly loved taking out used to keep me busy for hours. It's good to see tamiya still going after a these years. Great job paint job looks really good mate
Great Job Gav 👏
That turned out really nice, the Clod wheels make it pop. Great job :)
Thank you! Cheers Mattias!
I’ve been looking/wanting a monster truck from Tamiya and I think this is the one for me and my iPad went and order one from Japan last night when I was asleep. Need to start switching off my iPad to stop from ordering more Tamiya bits 🤣🤣🤣
Epic effort on the build mate. Great video more importantly. Nailed it bro.
Very cool, what I like about this it’s looks more like a monster truck should chassis wise , but the clod is a classic and nostalgia still may sway towards one over the Agrios. ;)
That is a pretty awesome kit and your paint job really does make the difference.
This was a massive project so I'm really glad you stuck with it and saw it all the way through. The craftsmanship you've produced truly exemplifies the value of building up a kit like this and seeing the fruits of your labor! Great look with the Clod Buster monster truck wheels!
sorry to be offtopic but does any of you know of a trick to log back into an instagram account..?
I was dumb lost my password. I appreciate any tricks you can give me
@Benicio Sterling instablaster :)
@Valentino Austin i really appreciate your reply. I found the site through google and im waiting for the hacking stuff atm.
Seems to take quite some time so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
@Valentino Austin It did the trick and I actually got access to my account again. I am so happy!
Thanks so much you saved my account :D
@Benicio Sterling happy to help :)
I love heavy metal. 😁🤟
I almost purchased one of these trucks. I'm still thinking about purchasing one. Been looking at a few on Ebay.
The grey covers on those deans connector make it so you don't need to use heat shrink. Especially not enough heat shrink for a dozen deans connectors.
I like the extra protection it gives.
Love it and what an awsome paint job, I dont usually likr that body but that one realy is a looker!
Awesome 👍👍
I got those mega motors I put them in keysho dule motor monster truck its old I think its called the block buster
Hi Gavin . MST MTX-1 looks like a nice bit of kit to go up against the Clod and Agrios 😁
That is an absolutley fantastic paint job! Well done! 😎👍
Superb ❤️
Ya man love that that's so nice man definitely good idea with that blue man looks so nice man 👍👍👍
You could have backed the red with silver that would make the pearl pop
HHAHA if its not Heavy /\/\etaL its not music in my ears! Massive build - this looks way better than what a CLOD looks like. Much more like a stadium truck!
Rc kicks cool monster big boi truck, 👍👍
Which wheel adaptor did you used for the clod rims in the txt2…? Normally they don't fit exactly. Normally you need the txt1 rims.
howday i really really l😘ve your wonderful channal after this video looks like i will buy txt2 soon i l😘ve tamiya even i have some cars
well thx again bud happy new year
cheers🤗
Hi Gavin another great Video don´t get you getting rushed who follows your Channel knows that you´re doing this for a living so take your time and do quality videos like this...and by the way if you´re doing Metal music try Metallica the next time Cheers Oliver.
You can’t just use any music you like, you have to pay for the licence to use music in your videos.
Great build sir!
Blue all day long!
Might I suggest some tyre decals and have a look at JConcepts wheels and tyres. :-)
Hittup Mike's for aluminum clod wheels
Loved watching these monster truck videos. Heres a question: How easy would it be to put a clod body onto this chasis? i absolutley love the retro monster trucks but don't fancy spending hundreds to upgrade a clod to be somewhat similar to the txt2
Great job, the truck Looks amazing!! Any chance that we will see a txt-1 build in the future?
No reason why not. It’s just finding one and prices
Looks fantastic! I love the Blue. Tamiya should include the Clod tires and wheels. I had the TXT-1 and it ran good. Sold it. Maybe I should get one of these and do one motor.
Yep Tamiya should have gone with the Clod rims and tyres.
Amazing!!! I also painted mine in the same blue red acheme. How did you put Clod wheels? Their adapter is different as well as offset. Those little pins are bigger on Agrios. Aaahhh... You have the clod adapters. I didnt so I 3d printed new adapters. Also you can go another route and get txt1 wheels, but they are bloody rare.
Hey mate it came out great! Quick question when you back it with white how many coats do you do? Nothing beats that moment when you pull that film off the outside! Thanks!
Any problem with copying your paint job? really love how it came out, i just dont like the stadium style body but thats what they come with. painting the body is pretty much what i have left to do with mine.
Go for it :)
Hawt Truck
Hello, Just bought this truck (on the back of the videos!), looking for recommendations to upgrade the motors, UK suppliers ideally. Thank you !
Clod rims fit with no issues?
Great lookn build and those clod wheels are so much nicer!
No you can’t just bolt Clod wheels onto it.
The TXT-2 looks great with the Clod Wheels on, are you planning a howto on how to fit them? I can't seem to find any info on what parts, if any, you need from the Clod to get the wheels to fit the TXT-2.
You can swap out the drive shafts for the clod versions and then just fit the Clod hubs to keep everything stock or fit some adapter hubs.
Hej, which second Option u would buy for the Motors when i buy it on Amazon in Combination with the Hobbywing ESC? I bought the razor Kit from the clodshop for the clodbuster and i am Not fine with Speed at the Moment. Thx for your Inspiration. Greetings from Germany, Christian.
I used lame flake under the black for bonnet
Congrats on your channel, I love it! I have 2 questions... 1. Did you add a rollbar to your Agrios? If so, I would love a link to that video. 2. What parts did you use to widen Agrios' stance? Cheers from California! 🎉
Hi, No I didn't fit a rollbar to it. To fit the Clod wheels the best way to to get the Clod driveshafts and hubs but you can also do it with some hub extenders. I got mine from the ClodShop in the UK
Awesome job. Love the build, it looks super beefy. Did you have any off center steering issues using 4 wheel steering?
Side question 1 - Your editing is super slick, what program do you use?
Side question 2 - Why don't you like metal?
Looks killer!!
Is there an complete optional metal gear set so you could use brushless motors instead?
Two brushless motors would be bonkers in this. 🚗 💨 💥
Great job with the paintwork. How many layers did you do with the smoked out windows?
Just two as I still want to see details inside. Normally I do 3-4.
Gav, with the pinion mesh, do you use a bit of paper or similar to set it?
Should hold its position when put back in the chassis, then remove paper.
That looks superb, great paint job! Are these kits still available to buy?
Not sure,
Try Tamico
How long should you wait between coats of paint before applying the next coat?
15 mins if its Tamiya PS paint
Lubricant cleaner, is that wd40?
Wow never bin 1st
I love the Agrios. I want one but is it even possible to get a body for it if you need a new one? I looked on Ebay and not even 1 for sale. I guess at that point the only option is aftermarket.
You can fit loads of bodies on it.
@@RCKickschannel Yeah I guess a body isnt the issue. What about spur gears? I couldnt find any parts at all on Ebay. Would I need to buy a whole kit? I suppose you may be able yo order a spare spur gear right from Tamiya?
Doesn't like heavy metal?
Nice looking build, bravo!
What do you lot think of the TAMIYA ROCK SOCKER
Hope to get one at some point. I really like the look of the springs and decals.
Doing great!!👍🏼Don’t sweat the small shit!! That’s what we say where I’m from!
Knock a window out the house lol your in trouble
Now I need a monster truck 😂
Is that a TVR you have?
I was thinking the same thing but since you got ignored I won’t ask either. Have you worked out what it is?
@@marklowry8799 it looks like a TVR or could be a Bitter. I’m in the US but stay up on the global car market
@@jonthomas8487 I looked for quite some time at 2 seater convertibles and I’m none the wiser, I’m quite sure it’s not a TVR though.
Great build, and I agree with you: I can't stand heavy metal music. Please don't do that again lol
Ha ha Gav its really stinks in hear lol, try eating a different diet 🤣
Hehehe 👍🏻
I really want to buy another Tamiya kit right now, but they are just so overpriced for what you get. Look at what you get with Arrma and Traxxas for the same price point.
Did the Clod Wheels fit straight on or did it need wideners?
As i said in one of your last videos: Looks so much better :)
Nice video.. sukses selalu.! 👍
it would be cool to see a comparason between an axial smt10 raw builders kit and this monster truck
Yeah looks sweet with blue , and definitely needs the clod wheels and tires.
Fantastic job there Gavin,that looks stunning.
