JConcepts Regulator Chassis Conversion Kit For Clod Buster
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 2 ก.ค. 2020
- A deep passion for monster truck racing and performance brought JConcepts full circle with the design of the Regulator Stage 2 chassis conversion kit for the Clod Buster. The design team had several design goals including weight balance, low center of mass, the use of engineering materials and pinpoint adjustability to fully compliment one of the longest running vehicles in the RC industry. The Regulator focuses on allowing other existing RC components to work alongside of the design such as readily available body designs, shocks, wheels, tires and behind axle servo conversion kits.
The key to the Regulator is the positioning of the battery and electronics in a top access layout and placed deep into the chassis for a low center of gravity. The fiberglass chassis and bottom plates hold the retro straight rail frame physique and at the base of the chassis, the heavy-duty aluminum cradle supports the suspension and ladder bars. In addition, a brass weight is included for racing in a sanctioned competition where a weight limit is used to even the playing field even further. The brass weight is mounted at an incredibly low position and locks into the cradle which aligns perfectly with the low center of gravity concept.
The light-weight aluminum shock and body post mounts are precision machined and mounted on each corner with 3mm hardware and setup to accept a variety of shocks on the market. Aluminum horizonal chassis members are positioned front and rear and have been lightened in a vintage fashion consistent with a Stage 2 monster truck. The chassis brace tubes have been tricked out to show a hexagonal shape and tubular shape to luster out the chassis assembly.
Machined and adjustable Delrin body posts are included along with pin screws to attach to the aluminum shock and body mount part providing a height adjustment. The battery mounting system contains a fiberglass battery strap for a shorty style battery with bump stops on each end to hold the battery positioning on the radio tray. Finishing off the panels of the chassis, polycarbonate pieces are included and can be trimmed to slide into the pockets of the chassis to give scale looks. Trim and position the included decal sheet on the panel to detail out the sides of the Regulator to fit whichever theme suits the build.
The JConcepts conversion kit is packaged with pride and as always, each is backed with JConcepts customer support and racing heritage.
Notes from the team -
To complete the build, it is necessary to have a Clod Buster or complete axle assemblies and electronics to go along with the Regulator conversion kit. It is advised and required to use a servo on axle conversion kit or preferably, the JConcepts #2823 servo mount kit for behind the axle steering. It is also necessary to have standard Clod Buster shocks or 100mm in length oil filled shocks. To see assembly instructions, video or how-to tips and tricks, please visit JConcepts Inc. on TH-cam.
Regulator on the track -
The chassis set and behind axle steering has been extremely successful in competition taking 1st place at the inaugural Monster & Mega Tour in Gaithersburg, Maryland, and again at the Trigger King 2020 Summer Series race #2. Originally prototyped for the 2019 International Monster Truck Hall of Fame event in Auburn, Indiana, Jason Ruona and Fred Reep tested prototype steering and chassis configurations during this event to great success.

Thank you so much JConcepts for creating the Regulator chassis kit. As a loyal Clod Buster owner and fan since the kit was first released by Tamiya in 1987, I have seen just about every single aftermarket chassis kit for it since the days of the ESP Clodzilla series and the Bennett Equipment Clod a Lever. It is fantastic that instead of going for the multi-link, super modified style Clod Buster chassis, you have instead gone in a totally different direction and created a retro style truck kit.
I still have my old ESP Clodzilla IV truck, which I love and enjoy driving, but I am seriously considering getting a Regulator kit and creating a new retro style Clod Buster. It will be great to have another option in my monster truck fleet. The TNT/USHRA era of monster trucks is what I grew up watching and loved so much as a kid.
Thank you again JConcepts for breathing new life into the Clod Buster for all of us die-hard fans!
Im very happy there is a great conversion kit for my Clodbuster. Thank you for coming out with the kit.
I’ve been watching solid axle vids for a while now. I’d like to get into it and I think this is the place I’d like to start. Nice work guys.
Now if only i could find a clodbuster in stock somewhere!
+1 on the ladder bars. I didn't hear them mentioned in the video, but I see them on the truck
Great work
I'm sure it's good! JConcepts reputation is solid. If this doesn't cost more than the TRUCK, I'd definitely consider it...
Omg I always wanted Clod Buster! I started out with Midnight Pumpkin. Damn I loved that truck!
They re released it .. Go get one....Make that dream come true!!!!!
Good Stuff J-Ro and Fred 💪🏾💯🚀🔥
Definitely need to get a couple or a few of these.
Nice chassis and steering setup. Just started building a truck a couple of days ago and couldn't find a steering setup that I liked.
Very nice. Makes me want to build a monster truck.
Looks like a great chassis guys!!!!!! I may have to get a Clod now and build one up, have to see what the budget allows!! Keep up the great work!!
Kyosho Nitro or Lipo "Madcrusher" better kit, better price and awsome Retro :) th-cam.com/video/dTHlMYf7uTc/w-d-xo.html
I’m in the market for a good chassis conversion and I’m glad to see this as an option. A little more expensive than comparable kits on the market... I would love to see a build video or more of the chassis before going with one of the other.
They ain't gonna tell you secrets. However I do love the subtitles.. want some pho??
Looking good guys, Hope to see more new produces coming soon. Love that 51' ford panel 1/10 scale truck body. Would love to see a 1/8 scale size & limiter straps for suspension use on M.T's thanks.
the behind the axle steering is a good thing. Any kind of bumper mounted servo set up lends itself to axle bending. most bumper style mounts are mounted to the main gear case much like stock bumper. if you slam into something it will bend the small male extension at the end of the axles inside the gear box. back in the day with Bennett colodalever set up and 4 links if you hit an object you would bend axles. ya it seems oh I am protecting the case. well you actually bend axles way easier.
Its Christmas in July. 😊😊❤❤❤
Is there any point in buying a Clod kit when you can essentially build one from scratch?
Also, that is how a retro Bigfoot monster truck kit should look. Well done!
Which associated shocks did you go with? I can’t find a center to center measurement anywhere! I love the chassis btw! Just waiting on the steering kit and figuring out which shocks!
Sure would have loved to see the chassis more in this video.....
should have spent more time showing the product and it mounted on the clod..
Yes
Check out @jconceptsgarage for a how-to video on the build.
MANNNNS this is YYEEHHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA II NEEEEEED IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIT :) awsome !!
Looks great. I think I'm ready to build a monster truck. I really want one.. I'm still deciding do I go retro with the clod-buster or a modern smt10....
you cant go wrong with the clod as a base...long live the king!!
I have an on axle (cpe) servo mount I like quite a bit. Will I run into any issues with clearance?
Does it work with the Bullhead body? Or do I have to do adjustments?
I never knew Manny Patinkin likes rc trucks
Will the body posts on this chassis fit the stock clod body holes?
TAKE MY MONEY NOW!!!!!
Can you use a 4 lo
Iink setup with this chassis?
Cool bit of kit! When are Tributes going to be back in stock?
Also, Fred isn't a long lost Baldwin brother is he?
Nice! Are axles next? ;-)
That would be sweet if so!
Sweet baby Jesus 🙏🙏🙏
Where can I get the regularered chassis for clod buster truck
Super cool Ou on peut ce procurer ce kit
What tires are these?
What is the hobbywing esc?
What kind of truck is over jasons shoulder on that back table?
smt 10 axial conversion race truck
What ladder bars are on that truck?
I have the same question
What’s the difference between a Pro Mod Clod chassis and a Retro Clod chassis like this?
Are you really asking that silly question?
It's so obvious
@@adtjtjdjsj are you really such an ass or just online?
Will stock clod steering work with this chassis
No it wont.
And why should anyone want to use the crappy original steering?
I want these shocks what are they?
Also can I put rear steer in with this chassis?
Why shouldn't you be able to put rear steer on it?!
The shocks are from Team Associated, they're 103mm long(sorry, I do not speak the primitive inch-ish language😛)
I just wasn’t sure if it was designed only for the rear lockout or if the BTA steering worked in the back as well. But have since figured out that it does work.
And yes thanks for the shock info.
how much are these chasis
what shocks are used ? length ? and so on ?
What body mounts fit directly? Want to add a taller rear body. Thank you
Are you going to be selling this in the UK
No,they don't.
You have to import it..
Do you sell this bigfoot body painted?
No
It's a RIP off to much money $240 dollars get real
Way to expensive...
Actually, it’s not. For what you get in the kit, and the quality, it’s unmatched.
$238 don’t think it’s worth it as this also requires you to purchase additional parts like the steering servo mount :(
