Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, jumps😁🙏. Thank you! Extend the shelving into the Sherwood Forest there to your left. Take down a few of those trees, build that track, hire more staff..... Great work on the channel as a whole!
Well done on the body. Looks really nice in the blue. Going to do mine exactly the same. Etch primer unfortunately only works on metal because of the phosphoric acid in it.
Did mine in the recommended colors Tamiya Mica Blue and Gunmetal but I like the all-blue. I skipped all the decals except for Color Works on the lower rear quarters and 4x4x4 on the tailgate. I'd wanted the original Clod for years so hand-cut the decals so it just says Clodbuster. Very happy with the result.
LOVE the Jeremy Clarkson type of Intro! Clever. I am definitely getting another Clod!! My nightmare is finally coming to an END, and I'm going shopping, like a Teenage Girl in a Shoe Store during a Sale!!! 😜 You did a great job of doing the Body. Looks GREAT! 😎 Carmine ✈🚂🚙
Clodbusted’s RU-vid channel has tons of info on this truck. And he knows the people who make the custom chassis like the metal one you showed in your video.
Hi mate, I can highly recommend Upol clear high pressure cans, they also do black (satin, gloss, matt), white and silver but the clear lacquer is a game changer, heat is a must and will vastly reduce the amount of orange peal.
Great job on the Clod Buster, Gav! looks awesome in that metallic blue - love a bit of metallic paint, me! Yeah, I have used etch primer on Tamiya hard bodies before - no problems! Great bit of jumping at the end - nice one mate! :))
Nice work. To leave a gab on the side decals was the right decision. Carefully cut the front decals with a sharp knife, at the corner of the cabin. Then aline the rear ones at the corner, don't go into the gab. Or you get problems with the decal at the back. If you want to fill the gab with black trimline. I recommend the chassis conversion kit from Jconcepts and the servo conversion kit (one for front steering or two for four wheel steering - third channel and a mixer should be kn the radio system).
The Blue Looks Cool I had a 1994 Ford F250 body for my old home made Monster Truck in 1996 but my monster had a lunch box 2 speed setup but I had 92x82mm tiers 8.4volt battery but it was able to yous a 12Volt
I used ech primer on my Clodbuster 5 years ago and it was all good still untill I had a bad fall with it.. love these trucks and would love another one for myself but this time I will just keep it stock
I switched my Super Clodbuster's chassis the Jconcepts Regulator kit. I like the servo placement it is unique and out of sight. I will try painting the grill like yours because it turned out very nice and toned down the chrome a bit.
just finished watching the video and I would really suggest building another starting with a set of gear casses and metal axel tubes.. there will be nothing left of the clod once you get going.. I will be building another myself and thats how I am going to do it
Etch primer does work on Tamiya abs bodies, I just finished up my 1851 Actros and used etch primer and if you have a Boyse store neer you they sell etch primer in the motoring section.
The clod is an awesome classic rc!! My original clod which is the Chrome Edition has gone through some changes (and parts) but it still runs. That blue you chose for your clod is awesome and the clear coat really made it outstanding. I'm surprised you actually ran it and jumped it.
I just built a black edition and am thinking about just adding the stripe on the sides. For the chassis I’m interested in the older sassy chassis or the new j concepts
Thanks so much for this upload. So I picked up a Clodbuster at an estate sale this weekend. I would like to upgrade the bearings in the transmission and make a few other modifications, but before I do that, I want to be sure I have a clodbuster and not a super clodbuster. I have tried to do some digging online, but I am not clear on the differences. How do I tell the difference between the models?
I love the calmness in which you explain everything. One question though, how do you remove the sticky molding stuff off those tyres? I can’t clean it completely and seems to come back after washing with dishwasher soap. Any tips and tricks regarding this? Appreciate it. Regards.
The automotive paint really pops, did it take a lot longer to dry than the Tamiya paint? When I’ve used other types of paints it usually does . Like the fact that you plan on using instead of shelving it. Great video Gavin keep up the good work.
have you got a tto1 chassis ? if so could you see if the clod body would fit on it please i think it would look cool as a drift truck if that fails could you check to see if the lunchbox body would fit on the tt01 chassis please
Hello again can i make a suggestion i know it’s probably not what anyone wants but why not just drill some holes or dremel out the part that the steering gets stuck on that would give you more travel as well
hey what chassis did you end up with and what esc did you use again!? I got the original clod buster can't seem to find a esc for it thank you! look forward for more clod videos!
Have you decided what to do with the steering on the clodbuster weather your you will keep the the 4wheel steering or if you will lock the rear wheels and use just the front steering?
Hey Gavin when putting the decals on is there any trick to it? Mines ends up having a little bubbles in it let me know thanks. That Superman decals are a pain in the rear.
I didn't have any issues but you could. I would add a key to the chrome with some ultra fine sandpaper grit. Just a little bit to help the paint bite and hold better.
I’m thinking to get one of these kits for a fun summer build and I honestly want it for the same reasons of just driving around the backyard at a manageable speed for fun. And the dogs would love to chase it lol. Great video thanks again. Quick question, you do paint this from the outside, does this body use lexan paint or any paint works?
I owned a ClodBuster MANY (over 30 years ago) years ago and it had a high/low gear switch. I remember it going so fast it was almost uncontrollable in high gear. All the videos I’m watching now they look painfully slow. Do they still have that high/low gear switch, and if so, which gear were you running it in in this video?
@@RCKickschannel my late 1980s Clod had one. I remember finally getting it put together and being disappointed in the speed. Then I remembered the switch and flipped it and I was blown away. 🤷♀️
You may like to check out the ESP clodzilla ii chassis. You can find more info on how to order one on Facebook under "ESP clodzilla". Same company who made the chassis that's under the red clod at the end of your video. Good luck with your projects!
self etching primer will not harm hard shell body's . not sure about poly carbonate though. great vid awesome rc ..pro tip always cut parts from sprue before painting or you will just end up having touchups. Also you can use a razor blade to cut off the clear drips and then wet sand like normal.
