Wonder if that body can work w/ T-Egg... (T-Egg is pretty long, actually...)

Looking good, man!!

RE: Super Clod Buster Build-up Thread
 

We'll have to try it when we all get together and play. I have a feeling it will fit guite well.

RE: Super Clod Buster Build-up Thread
 

Well this is a first in my experience. The windshield is cracked in three places. [&o]

RE: Super Clod Buster Build-up Thread
 

That's a real bummer =(

Can you get tamiya to ship out a replacement?

RE: Super Clod Buster Build-up Thread
 

It will be great to see this thing come together, clod has always been one of my favorite Tamiya kits. I remember drooling over my buddy's dads.


I'm jealous[:@]:D

RE: Super Clod Buster Build-up Thread
 

Just got off the phone with Tower Hobbies. Explained my problem and luckaly it is a stock item. There will be a new one in the mail tomorrow!

Thanks Tower Hobbies!!:D

RE: Super Clod Buster Build-up Thread
 

It's the worst feeling isn't it? Luckaly it was only the windshield and I caught it now.

RE: Super Clod Buster Build-up Thread
 

Thanks, I plan to build up the kit as Tamiya would have it, MSC and Drive Mode option. You know, the true Tamiya way, like when I was a kid. Only the shocks and bearings will be updated during the build.

Then I will add mods, ESC and etc.

Aww no three clods[&o]

RE: Super Clod Buster Build-up Thread
 

Sorry Evader...

A moment of silence for the other two Clods that didn't make it...........[&o]

[&o]Poor clods...they need a good home.[&o]

RE: Super Clod Buster Build-up Thread
 

The broken windshield...

RE: Super Clod Buster Build-up Thread
 

Wow, looks like that one came "Pre-Bashed" (heavy pun intended)

RE: Super Clod Buster Build-up Thread
 

The usual suspects, interestingly in an old school matte finish. This is not like the newer, shiney Mabuchi's.

RE: Super Clod Buster Build-up Thread
 

Haha ya, I must have signed up for the pre-bashed kit by accident!

RE: Super Clod Buster Build-up Thread
 

Quick comparison, Clod motor on the right. They sound different too.

RE: Super Clod Buster Build-up Thread
 

MSC, usual Tamiya resistor, Drive Mode switch and misc wiring. Hmm, is that a Rx balloon? Close, it's a MSC balloon...old school.

RE: Super Clod Buster Build-up Thread
 

Wow, Tamiya splurged and gives the Clod owners two large grease tubes and a standard switch lube.

I was JUST talking about his too, right LB?

RE: Super Clod Buster Build-up Thread
 

Here are the rims, interesting drive pattern.

RE: Super Clod Buster Build-up Thread
 

My usual tradition, I assemble the tires/wheels first.:) Kinda big, eh?

RE: Super Clod Buster Build-up Thread
 

Next to one of my Rising Storm buggy tires...

RE: Super Clod Buster Build-up Thread
 

Not too happy about these parts. They will all be painted...

RE: Super Clod Buster Build-up Thread
 

Here's a reference shot for size. That's a 1/10 buggy in the background.

RE: Super Clod Buster Build-up Thread
 

A little fun...:D

RE: Super Clod Buster Build-up Thread
 

that 2nd pic of the clod body on the buggy actually looks pretty cool:D


good luck with your Clod man. I love mine.;)
