Hi use dawn dish soap . If you use armor all it makes the white worse . I've been building for 30 yrs and 18 yrs at a Hobby Town in the 1990 - 2008 . I've built at most 30 clods. just have fun with them .
This was my 1st kit I ever built, only was in the hobby for a month n people said I was crazy n should've got a lunchbox to build first lol but I got it built with no issues
The white on the tires is the mold release. It is near impossible to get off. Was talking to a few cold buster guys and they said the best way is to just drive it through grass and stuff like that to just wear it off the tires. After a few snow runs I can vouch that it works, few runs and they should be clean. I’ve also heard armorall works but over the long term your tires won’t last
Wash the clod tires with dawn dish liquid and get the water hot hot. The stuff on the tire is wax used to help release tire from mold. Ive had new motorcycle tires that looked that way
super wonderful video and excellent build good job buddy i l😘ve tamiya super cludbuster i have 1 chrome edition yeah about the steering he cannot turn when stop he just turn when run becuse he classic but if you want avoid this problem put 2 servo 1 in front axal 1 in the rear axal in this case it becomes possible 2 turn and even when it is upended l😂l well thx mate peace.👊
awesome brother, love clod's, i have 2 of them. one is modded to the moon and the other i keep box stock except for the shocks and steering, you def need to do on axle servos's, its pretty cheap to do and makes a WORLD of difference . for the shocks, look on ebay for redcat groundpounder shocks cuz there cheap but are perfect size and quality is surprisingly good.
That’s neat. I will say Tamiya has the coolest hard bodies, I’ve got the Bullhead on my SCX10, but I wanna do the Grand Hauler with my boy when he’s older.
Clods are great. To fix the steering, swap the front servo saver ball stud to the bottom at the gearbox. Goal is to make the linkage rods parallel. Once you are in there, it becomes straightforward. Also, TXT-2 Agrios is probably the most scale truck, look up Bigfoot 18. Yes it looks better with clod size tires but it is still a hoot. Full build on my channel.
I like seeing these biulds you do. I still have a couple weeks to go before I'm able to work on my Nylint build. 6 weeks ago i cut the top tendon to my thumb in half so I can't do much of anything. But with the help of CBD's I am ahead of schedule with this healing process.
I bought one back in 93. Took me two weeks of after work building to assemble it replace the stock motors with Trinity match Madness Motors it was an awesome truck I miss it
Had one for years... since 94 my first truck got modified .. built just like the one I have now . CZ2 and my Animal . Mileage every year .. driveway to plow .. aluminum cases are end goal ..
I have to re-visit my re-re clod and re-do the steering. I also get more steering out of the rears. its okay, it still turns but I think im gonna go front steer only.
Just picked up one of these too :) Such a hard call whether to keep it stock or massively upgrade. Think I'll aim for middle ground. Cheap shock upgrade, rear steering rod swap and lipo alarm. Not too many $$ if it just ends up on a shelf.
I have 2 from the 90's waiting to be put back together. Mine are bullheads. Same chase though. Thinking I might build a 8X8 with them. Some thing I always wanted to do. On a side note I have videos up about that little hot rod build if you are interested seeing what I did with it. I just need to do a driving video with it.
Hi, I just got a Tamiya Super Clodbuster kit and I'm curious what's a rough estimate on how many hours are spent building the chassis, wheels, tires suspension? Please let me know, Thanks Adam
I think you can find them cheaper in a hobby shop. I want to say the Hobby Town over in Boise had a kit for under $300 bucks. I had a fully upgraded Clod with aftermarket chassis and suspension it was awesome, should have kept it. I do still have my Koyosho USA-1 electric truck it needs some parts but I have 90% of it.
I always wanted the usa1 just for the body. One of my favorite trucks in real life. Lol. I’m going to try and enjoy this stock for a while before I throw the bank at it.
Tamiya is so good to the RC fans bringing back these oldies but goodies. And they made these in huge numbers so you can buy them everywhere. A Japanese company and doing most of their vintage cars again. But now look at AE, an American RC company who only re-released their gold tub and world's car and if you want 1 you gotta pay up the ass for it. In short, AE you suck and Tamiya rocks.
Great video! Just wonder how to restart mine without the original remote control. Will it work if i test it with old nikko super evolution nikko remote control with quartz?sorry i don t have much knowledge about it, hope someone can help me, thanks
Hey Man. You getting ready for the Christmas and stuff?? Hope the family is ok, how's work? Getting cold here in NC. Hope we have snow this year. Great video, really like this truck from Tamiya,, I might get it one day. Could you put the USA 1 body on this if you found one?? anyway man take care ttys
Things have been pretty good around here buddy. No real plans for Christmas yet, I am hoping for some snow this year too. This body is around 1/12 scale but just about any current crawler body will fit on this chassis easily.
why do all manufacturers put shit components in the cars and think peeps will be ok with it? pay 600quid for a traxxas then spend 400 in upgrades just so it runs ok??????????
Thank god you finished a monster truck!

Always wanted a clod buster myself. I did have an original Kyosho USA 1 back in the day. So much fun.
After many forms, and broken parts over the years it's now on a shelf. Gotta love Tamiya!!
TAMIYA = SHELF
I run my CC-01 more than anything else.

Love Tamiyas! Especially Clods.

Just did this. Came up clean

Just soap and water on the tires. Scrub them and let the sit in good soap and they will soften up nicely 😃 great job 👏
Nice 👍 . .. had mine for a long time. Great workhorse! . Very simple and durable
Just ordered a Black Edition. Can't wait to see what you do with yours

Yeah! 💪😃👍 Nice! 👍😃👍 It’s going to be cool to see what you do with it. 👍😃👍

I'm glad your building this monster truck. I've been a big fan since I was a kid.

Looks good mate. Different to the other rat rods.

I spent may 3 hours over a few days building it. It was my first time assembling one of these.

1) How do you like it now?
2) How did you paint it?
3) What mods did you do, if any?
4) Which is more fun to drive, this or a stock Lunch Box?
I recently painted it. Still no mods, haven’t really driven it much and haven’t driven an old lunch box to compare.
