Tamiya Clodbuster Promo Video

[@raccoondinner4009]

If you didn't live through this era you may not understand why this is so nostalgic and why this model is so important to modern RC.

[@srt4cuz]

Damn still remember getting this for my 10th bday ..and I'm 37 now. great memories

[@mikeslife5941]

I got this for Christmas when I was ten I’m 37 wow what a coincidence

[@UK300Prodrive]

Seems we all did lol

[@waynenorbreyjr9371]

Loved this truck every since it came out and I'm a proud owner of 22 and I have 3 of them in the works. I use to own 25 of them, but I sold 3 of them many years ago.

[@MACISUS]

Wow! How did you manage to get so many? I have one and I love it. Just got a 3D printer so will now be able to print all those replacement parts and upgrades I couldn’t afford all those years ago.

[@kash1327]

Hi Wayne, could you please point me in the direction of spare parts, particularly a battery cover (7800403), I don't mind if its Original, 3rd party, or an STL file I can 3d print, its the last thing I need to make it run and I've been searching far and wide

[@ferp420]

[@youfixitatvutv]

Just picked up a Super Clodbuster! Always wanted one as a kid but couldn't afford it. Had plenty of others, Falcon, Blackfoot, Hornet, Hotshot. Love Tamiya kits!

[@vinceyamaha8793]

Question as a european: Why was the metric system used in this ad? I barely hear any nowadays.

[@flyingfortressrc1794]

Man I'd love to have a Clod Buster.. Sweet trucks.

[@ChaNnArD-mD]

I was into RC in the 90's I remember batteries taking forever to charge and getting very little use time, not like today!

[@bobrandall2727]

Still the best!

[@Locoboy5150]

Thank you so much for the video. It brings back so many wonderful memories of when I first got into the Clod Buster. As soon as the kit was released in 1987, I sold my Tamiya Blackfoot and put the money towards a new Clod Buster. I have absolutely no regrets as I still have my first Clod Buster though there are almost no stock parts left on it. I do not think that I'll ever get rid of any of my modified Clod Busters and Bull Heads.

[@TheTonester2312]

Wow! Seems cool even today.

[@patrickb6938]

This is epic! But i never saw a commercial like this in the 80s. We got all the Tyco commercials where i grew up

[@FCT8306onTwoWheels]

Dang...dreams of my childhood right there. Had the Midnight Pumpkin QD

[@LoneWolfSnowplowing]

my friend had a Clod Buster, my brother had a MP QD also. I had the Kyosho Big Brute. The good ole days.

[@FCT8306onTwoWheels]

@@LoneWolfSnowplowing that one sounds cool

[@jeremythornton3240]

Does anyone remember or know how much these were in the 80's? I had one, but I was a kid and got it for Christmas. I can't remember how much they were...

[@Locoboy5150]

I bought my Tamiya Clod Buster in 1987 right after the kit was first released. I bought mine via mail order from America's Hobby Center and it was either $210 or $220. That was by far the best price that I had ever seen. Right after I ordered mine, America's Hobby Center raised the price to about $250.

[@nomusicrc]

WHERE CAN I GET THE OIL FILLED SHOCKS They didn't mention how horrible the steering is

[@Fnord2645]

My dad has an original somewhere such a shame it’s in awful condition (like in a state where you try unscrew any of it it all breaks)

[@randomland9088]

How did they get a camera small enough to mount on the side back then?

[@TheHudsonValleyWanderer]

I was thinking the same thing. Maybe a "small" 8mm camera

[@jimmyrodrigues8703]

Anybody else think the narrator sounds like or is the library cop from Seinfeld?

[@Locoboy5150]

He sounds to me just exactly like the same narrator for all of the vintage Tamiya videos from back in the day.

[@jimmyrodrigues8703]

@@Locoboy5150 yes, it's the same voice for all of their videos back in the day who sounds exactly like the actor who played the library cop in Seinfeld.

[@alexis24s]

These videos have a unique scene, I love them. On my channel I have the ones I could get.

[@philliplyn2692]

Really always wanted this truck just get upgraded parts and a powerful batteries with charger 🙏🙏🙏🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲💪💪💪

Your English is bad.... It's not "a batteries"... It would have been "a bunch of batteries"...

[@BRMN8R]

That's what many believe the clod to be based off, Samson1

[@RC-ty5ym]

@@BRMN8R I still don't understand why Tamiya put the body so fucking high..

[@tommy1504]

What color do you think the blue clod is? TS-10? TS-23?

[@Nlangkirby135]

I think it has a two tone blue paint scheme... I'm not sure what color designations they used... I hope this helps.

[@goldenmanuever1176]

They are honestly so close, I'd say TS-23.

[@MrChano48]

hello I have a clodbuster but the control futaba no longer works, can you recommend a current one.

[@adtjtjdjsj]

Dumb question
