Mean RC Monster Truck Build! - JConcepts Regulator Tamiya Clod Buster Project | RC Driver 

My vote is double shocks with the lightest springs possible.

You have a clod buster and your video you automatically get a thumbs-up in a like from me

Double shocks for looks and single shocks for performance. I would run it both ways and see how you like it. I think as long as they don't bind up the suspension double is fine. Your very experienced with setting up RC but I have not had good luck with duel shocks on other cars. Unfortunately I don't own a Clod Buster so I really don't know. It does look better. The chassis is absolutely awesome. Great share.

You could keep the double shock and remove the springs from one set, so you have all the absorption with out the resistance. I do that on my Bomber...

Looking good! I like that chassis. I want to get something like that on my Clod!

I built it with the same stuff. Single shock if you want the suspension to work properly. Double shocks for shelf queen.

You’re going to love the chassis, and it’s a retro so it’s going to be bouncy regardless, but the weight in the middle keeps it going where you want regardless of what you decide to go with. Can’t wait to see it done! And if you want to race it, go with the JConcepts Silent Speed 27T motors. 👌🏻

My vote is double Shocks - only one having a Spring. That's how I'm setting mine up. 😉

Double shocks is one of the things that sets the Clod apart so I say lighter oil in the shocks and double em up.

Love the build! The clodbuster was my first hobby grade rc and my all time favorite. I found an old Clod recently for $50 and also put on the Jconcepts Regulator chassis and steering links, and rear lockout. I also put on the Jconcepts Golden year tires. I went with the Rc4wd Ignitor beadlocks and traxxas ultra shocks. Currently have dual shocks on each corner but might change it to one as it feels quite stiff. I went with the same body that you did and I added the Traxxas Bigfoot bumpers and roll bar.

Gotta say this is killer to see. Love the build. My vote is double shocks all around.

Thanks for sharing. I’ve watched this a few times already, and I just noticed that you were able to tuck the steering link that connects the servo horn to the carbon fiber rack. Mine kept popping off whenever I bash a little too hard because it gets snagged for being a little to exposed. I’m just a weekend basher so I use a servo saver. I’d have to look for a lower profile servo to be able do what you did. Thanks again for sharing.

Looking awesome, I’ll watch for part two love the shocks

I’ve always wanted something like that!

I did the behind the axle steering mod front and back. Good stuff. BTW I believe that brass plate is to allow the truck to qualify for monster truck classes.

Going to be a sweet build man can't wait to see it shredd

I'm still thinking about the chassis for my next Clod project. I'll probably use the hidden steering from JC. That's perfect for my hobby style of driving and will improve the rig. But the chassis in my mind is more for competitions, which we don't have here in Europe. The chssis is great bur for my reqirements it's a little bit kind of overkill. This might be not so over the pond. So thank you for the presentation😀.

It’s not cheap but i think I’ll have to pick this chassis up for one of my Clods 🤘🏻

This will be so awesome

Looking good

Those parts might bump up the performance 🎭 but they also bump up the sky high prices man, but if you can afford it, why not. 😎👍👍👍🇬🇧

Custom hoss incoming👀

This looks Fun

I would use all shocks but only use one spring on each corner so you have a little more dampening

What are the advantages of all the aftermarket chassis's? I see they cost alt of money but apart from looking good. What do they do that the stock chassis doesn't?

Do duel shocks leave the spring off one shock on each wheel

I vote double shocks as well

Why no rear steer? And are there after market chassis links that are thinner? Great build!

just got my super clod today, ive heard the steering is atrocious i know there are at axle solutions but is viable to put like a super torque servo in instead?

Looking good! Ive thought about getting that kit for a second clod too! I did the same with my black edition! lol I only take it out every once in a while... It sure is pretty though! great vid, not sure on the shocks. I swapped out old tmaxx shocks to my black edition.

Great review!

Will the stock body for the regulator chassis without modifications?

I just got a slash 4x4 vxl ultimate

U want a challenge. Got a old school 70s tonka dump truck this kit would look sic.. I'd b open to send it to u to build

Double shock, light spring, 10-15W oil

You should call your channel thousand doller bill builds lol nice job wish I had the cash to do custom builds have to stick to kits to get my thrill

were did you buy your shirt? it's cool, i like it

I am looking for an American made rc even if I half to build it myself any idea

Double shocks all around...otherwise it makes for a 'nervous' suspension .......

After all those upgrades, how does it compare to the Toyota Bruiser? With the upgrades, price-wise they are close, right?

#1

be cool if ya went all metal from vitivon or something

Dual shocks, single springs.

What's with all the artifacts in your video?

That's one way to make a clod cost twice as much

It’s such a sin to put a Ford body or anything ford on a clodbuster. Love the idea of the jconcepts but the cold buster Chevy body still is the best. I’m not a Chevy person by any means either lol definitely not a Ford. It’s more how the tamiya clodbuster worked so well with the original body. Specially tricked out.

I really wanted to build one of these when they were released. So I emailed Jconcepts with a few questions and also about availability for the UK. No answer. So I emailed again two weeks later. No answer. So I waited another two weeks and sent a third email asking a few more questions. No answer again. So I decided to put my money elsewhere.

better upgrades in the uk and not so much sell it bullshit
