Awesome edit Fil..... Who doesn't love the mighty clod? Amazing air time there dude....don't think I've ever seen one jump that high before, I know mine hasn't! And the music just set it off.....I'm guessing that's A.I, as with the 959 tune on your previous video?? Great idea buddy. 👌 Excellent entertainment. 👍 👍 👍

No clodbusters were injured during the making of this video. Please do not try this at home...unless you want to have a lot of fun. 🤘 Great choice of music and most of all a great action video!

[@poorboysrc]

Thanks for watching! The mighty Clod loves an audience. 😂

[@Locoboy5150]

Fantastic video! Thank you so much for sharing this with everyone. This video takes me back to 1987 when my Clod Buster was brand new and completely stock. It has changed a lot since those days but I still have it and enjoy it to this day. I do not think that I will ever part with it. You must have nerves of steel to jump a stock Clod Buster that high...and then do it again several times! I was amazed that nothing broke but it looked like something flew off of the rear of the truck's body just behind the rear wheel well at 2:22. (Was that a small camera?) I was cringing every time I saw it land after every jump but it stuck the landings and kept on going. Thank you for the reminder of what my Clod Buster was like many years ago. Clod Busters will always be a blast, whether they are modified or completely stock, as your video shows!

[@poorboysrc]

That's so great to hear! I'm so happy this video brought back some good memories. The Clod is a beast, stock or modified. And it's always good for a bunch of laughs as it soars through the air. They're back on the market again, so if you ever want to get one to drive and enjoy, nows the time! 👊🏼

[@Locoboy5150]

@@poorboysrc It's funny that you mentioned getting another Clod Buster. I am just putting the finishing touches on a new custom Bull Head that was made from left over parts from my huge 6x6 Bull Head project truck that I built many years ago. (If you were on the RCMT message boards back in the day, my 6x6 Bull Head was called "Chernabog.") So, even though the Bull Head is not exactly a Clod Buster, I do have a new one of those that is in the works now. I also just finished up with restoring and upgrading another Clod Buster in my fleet, the "King Clod." That truck was originally built by ESP and it appeared in their catalogs and magazine ads back in the late 1980s. I bought it from an ESP message board moderator on RCMT many years ago and I finally got around to upgrading it with some old JPS machined aluminum parts that I had lying around. So, I have a couple of new (or is that old since they were sitting around for so long?) rigs in my fleet. I am just getting back into R/C monster trucks again after about a 20+ year break and I had forgotten how addictive they are!

[@MechanicallyFun]

Wow👍😎

[@poorboysrc]

Thanks for watching! 👊🏼

[@Hillbillypunk]

I finally got my grubby mits on a Clodbuster (a black one too) Got her all sorted out on the table, build time!

[@poorboysrc]

Niiiiice, dude! Get that bad boy built and go crush the world!!! 😅

​@@poorboysrc hot motors and speed controller comes on Friday 😭

@@Hillbillypunk Dude, how hot???

[@Hillbillypunk]

​@@poorboysrcgot a pair of Team Brood 17 turn motors 💪 And a hobby wing 880 I was gonna use some sport tuned motors, then I learned they wouldn't work cause of the timing thing with one running backwards. So, I went for it.

​@@poorboysrcjust took her for her maiden voyage! No regrets! What a monster. Just runs over everything! Real happy with my motor choice too. Nothing too crazy, but it'll wheelie when I tell it to 😅 Got a set of 8, Option no 1 shocks coming from China 😊

Oh wow that is epic footage and an awesome edit Fil! Also where is the Clodbuster song from? So cool. Best run video I've seen for a while. Top stuff mate 😁👍👍

[@poorboysrc]

Thanks so much, Pete! I used AI for the song. 👍🏻

[@jamesmcdonald2680]

Suno or Udio? By next year maybe you'll have the ability to make the vocalist be the old Tamiya ad promo guy. Great job.

[@poorboysrc]

Suno. Man, I'd love to get that old Tamiya voice over going! 😄

[@kmattlong]

Okay now these edits are getting to be too much for me to handle first thing on Saturday morning. This has to be your best one yet. Anytime you go to that beach a Clod should follow. It would be a cool project for the channel to do an ultimate Clod build up, just an idea. Keep these coming!!! I have to ask where did you get the music?

[@poorboysrc]

Thanks for the kind words, pal. It was a ton of fun putting this one together. I used AI for the music. 👍🏻

[@shannonnufer]

Great fun Fil! But I gotta ask what broke ? Lol I feel you can’t drive a ClodBuster aggressively without breaking . In fact, I have parts on order to do more upgrades again Trying to get mine ready for a monster truck rally coming up at my local hobby shop next weekend

[@poorboysrc]

Amazingly, nothing broke! Just a few good scratches is all. 👍🏻

[@bradkalman2353]

I was wondering can you change the pinion size in both axles?

[@Locoboy5150]

With a completely stock Clod Buster you cannot use any sized pinion gears other than what originally comes in the kit, which are 13 tooth 32 pitch pinion gears. You have to use adjustable motor mounts to use different sized pinion gears. The expensive way to change pinion gears is to use machined aluminum gear cases, which have slotted motor mount holes so that you can use various sized pinion gears. One of the best and cheapest modifications to make to a Clod Buster is replacing the stock pinion gears with steel ones. The stock Tamiya pinion gears are made from very soft aluminum and they wear down very quickly. I never use them since they are so weak, even with the stock Mabuchi 540 motors. Aftermarket Steel 13 tooth 32 pitch pinion gears like those made by Robinson Racing are so cheap so I just use them immediately and get rid of the stock Tamiya ones.

[@poorboysrc]

What Locoboy said! 😉

[@MauzyrockRC]

Awesome run and edit! My question is where on earth or the ether did you find that song lol!

[@poorboysrc]

Thanks, Mauzy. I used AI for the song. 👍🏻

[@mitsuman5555]

Haha, epic!!! I think I see a tail light hanging on for dear life at 2:23 🤣. Did you make that song with AI?

[@poorboysrc]

Yeah, that was AI. - I had a spare esc mounted in the chassis just in case. Some of the wires hung out during some shots. 🤦

[@UlisesBatalla]

You have 20 turn 540s. I power mine with 17 turn 550s RedCats that just, (skin of the teeth) fit in the chassis. They almost rub the rails. I have sway bars on the back half and a strange shock setup where I am using those double spring 110mm shocks all around and the second pair of 110mm only has one spring in them, not the second compound set. with the preload set all the way down. Those kick in if I hit hard but do nothing as I roll on the street. I use 3S. I left the factory center servo but beefed it up to a 65KG metal beast and changed all the drag bars to thicker material. No servo saver. The front has three holes out for lock-to-lock tight turns and the back is one hole out and barely turns. No savers just solid aluminum-like "U" pieces of metal I found on eBay. I hate that I threw away my box. I'm so sad about that. I just didn't know, even the box had value.

[@poorboysrc]

Sounds like you've got your Clod nicely dialed in! 👌

[@OGRCFanatic]

The video itself was cool, and really brought me back to the 80’s. But that music was way too distracting. I didn’t even finish the video because of it. Maybe some videos without distracting music so we can actually hear the sounds of the car while you’re driving it?

[@poorboysrc]

I'm glad you enjoyed the video, but it's too bad you didn't enjoy the music. I figured that was one of the most fun, 80's parts of the whole thing. I suppose it's not for everyone, though. 👍🏻

[@IowaBudgetRCBashers]

Who’s singing this song Fil??

[@poorboysrc]

It's an AI song. Kind of sounds like a mixture between Lemmy and Mustaine. 😄

[@leehurst6922]
