Here's the thing all set up, minus the bar light caps. I'm painting them black. It's a basher, but I still like the details. No, stickers on this one.
Rue, LB, Evader, write this down. Step #7, when you mount the bumper, use the supplied screw with a BC1 nut and not the BB5 nut. Don't worry, you'll have enough BC1's to finish the kit. Put the screw through from the top. I found that the body does not sit flush on the front body pins if you do it as directed in the manual.

RE: Super Clod Buster Build-up Thread
Trust me, I use that logic all the time..........
ORIGINAL: TamiyaExperienced
Good idea, a whole new body set is $65, a whole new Clod kits is $189.99-$25.00 and free shipping...ummm...$164.99.
Only $100 more and I get the whole kit.
I might as well just order another.....

I have one of those gravedigger bodies I'll send you for free if you want it... Just pay the shipping.
Lol, it came on my LST2 (totally misproportioned) some idiot bought it by mistake. Has a crack down the back... but hell, the offer is there if you want it.

You can just use simple green or nitro fuel to strip the body. Brake Fluid works good as well. Soak it for 20min and use a toothbrush to get rid of the paint. Wash in soap water after.

I wish my neighbors were into RC's like I am. One neighbor down the road has a nitro, but knows nothing about it or anything rc related. Also, he thinks nitro is king...LoL. Well, i originally had a GD body for my sledgehammer and was gonna buy a new one for the clod...we will see.

Well, I am selling TEX my spare WW-2 (still in the box, not built!), so once he built that up, we can have a WW-2 vs. WW-2 action..
That's gonna be pretty hilarious...

RE: Super Clod Buster Build-up Thread
I highly recommend one.. It is a new chassis now, but the hard shell body is still exactly the same as the one from 20 yrs ago.. It is one of the most fun R/Cs out there, in my opinion...
I got a thread somewhere for my WW-2 too...

RE: Super Clod Buster Build-up Thread
The key to WW2 racing is the silvercan mod. Aka strap a Mabuchi to the front of the car. Now u can actually move around without wheelie [X(]
