Tamiya Super Clod Buster in a little snow.........

[@JF-RC]

Hi there Bob, ah ha! A little snow can’t stop the super Clod Buster! Great run in the garden. Best wishes to you all 😊😊

[@UncleBobsRC]

Thanks John, how you been mate? This little bit of snow is nothing to the Clod. I think if we had an inch or 2 it would be better, I just hate the mess & clean up afterwards. ATB my friend, stay in touch man!!!

[@JF-RC]

@@UncleBobsRC hi Bob, I’m doing ok, still in a lot of pain, my left hip is done. So, so right about the snow and icy conditions, all the salt etc…that they put on the roads, makes cleaning the real size car a pain. Best wishes to you and the family. 😊😉😊

[@UncleBobsRC]

@@JF-RCWell, they don't salt here where I live (they do on the roads but I live off the road) and they don't salt my back yard, LOL. Now I do have to watch where I drive (dog sh.... poop) but if it wasn't about 25 F out, I would have to deal with mud too. Glad your on the mind man... You need to get out and run all those kits you built over the year (last year that is). ATB mate!!!!

[@JF-RC]

@@UncleBobsRC hi there Bob, thank you my friend. Hoping to start to try and do some running videos soon. It’s funny, I actually prefer the building and creating, more than the running 😂🤣😂best wishes to you all 😉😊

The perfect Tamiya for a snow run mate.... takes it all in her stride with ease! Great bit of running footage fella! 😊 👍 👍 👍 👍

[@UncleBobsRC]

Thanks man... I normally don't run in snow or even if it's wet out, BUT, the is my runner/basher Clod so why not, at worse it breaks and I gotta fix it (more time wrenching), but to me, that's another part of the fun.

[@yodadarksideGreenHawksRC]

@@UncleBobsRC Exactly mate! I have a few cars that are there specifically for bashing/having fun with...... I drive them in all weather, don't bother cleaning them etc. I also have other cars that just sit on the shelf looking pretty that I can reminisce over, these are totally mint and get dusted regularly and cherished. I get enjoyment out of both sides of the hobby. I've not yet built my super clod, but when I do I'm pretty sure it's going to be a runner! Subbed by the way, looks like you've got some great videos in your back catalogue that I must check out! 😊 👍 👍 👍

[@UncleBobsRC]

@@yodadarksideGreenHawksRC Thanks man, I hear ya there!!! Yes. I have a few older video's (a few with lots of views) And some Clod/TXT-2 videos. I try to go back on other channels (that show me some support/views/comments) and watch there old videos and work my way to the latest (sometimes watching them a few times).. Shelf queens, I have my OG Clod Buster, OG Blackfoot & TA02 Racing Special Chassis (I did run the BF & TA).

[@yodadarksideGreenHawksRC]

@@UncleBobsRC Spot on mate, that's exactly what I do! 😉 I found your channel after you leaving comments in some of our videos (Green Hawks RC!) Generally, if someone enjoys watching what we have put out, then there's a good chance that their channel will be of a similar interest to us! Clicking on their channel after they have commented is a great way to discover new channels/friends that we were previously unaware of.... All good! Then it's time to dive into their back catalogue, looks like a lot of your stuff is right up my street! 👌 Yeah, I do LOVE both the Clod and the blackfoot (have a shelf queen blackfoot and a new in box clod).... In fact, I love all the eighties monster trucks mate! Also have 2 midnight pumpkins, 3 monster beetles,1 lunchbox, 1 mud blaster, 2 fazer mk2's, 2 porsche 959's, 1 toyota celica grb, Avante, Egress, Avante black special, Turbo optima and a VERY heavily hopped up TRF Top force!! Taylor who I started the channel with has 3 lunchies,, 1 grasshopper, 1 hornet, 1 mustang gt4 TT02 and a monster beetle! Damn this hobby gets addictive.... and expensive! 🤣 Keep up the great work! Cheers fella! 👍 👍 👍 👍

[@UncleBobsRC]

@@yodadarksideGreenHawksRC LOL, the hobby is cheaper than girls mate.. Says the man that's been married 2 times with 5 kids!!! I can't count all the RC's I had, at a point in time, I had 12 Clods at once... at my age, lack of pc skills, I have a hard time keeping up the YT and the guys I watch, I do watch but mostly on the tv via the PS4, then forget to comment when I get back on the laptop.... Poor health isn't helping but my choice to smoke.

[@MarkBryanRC]

Great little snow fun run, mate! Oh yeah, wheelies in the snow, lots of skid turns and even a little twerk at the end... what more could you want from the mighty Clod?!?!?! Awesome, brother! 😍😍👌👌👍👍

[@UncleBobsRC]

Kit motors man, it could drag the rear bumper for yards on asphalt. She's got moves and that's the only time I can stomach twerking. It's got bearings and running a 2S.... See what your in for? LOL. As old as that design is, I still love the truck, there's just something about them. A bit more snow could have been more fun but I'll take this as it is, less cleaning, LOL. Did you spot I have led's in it?

[@MarkBryanRC]

@@UncleBobsRC All good mate! Dragging your ass for yards sounds like FUN! I can't stand "real" twerking either! Oh yeah, the LEDS are cool! :))

[@UncleBobsRC]

@@MarkBryanRC Tears up the bumper something fierce though, I have rear bumpers here to prove that, LOL.

[@MarkBryanRC]

@@UncleBobsRC Gotta look after your rear end, mate! 🤣🤣👍👍

[@rcplaytime]

Clod buster looks awesome in the snow ❄️ 😀 👍👍

[@UncleBobsRC]

Thanks man, I should have brought out the ramp too, I do wish we had a bit more snow, even though I have running in stuff like this.

[@theoagrc]

Oh man I miss the snow over there! That Clod looks the boss out in the snow brother! Love the Slo motion 😎

[@UncleBobsRC]

Thanks man, it's all stock other than bearings (it does have steel pinions but they are the same tooth count as kit ones) The CVA shocks won't give it more speed, nor will the tail gate or grill. The lipo on the other hand will. The esc can handle more amps than the Tamiya esc it came with, also, the esc I'm using switches faster (hertz) than the Tamiya unit, it might even be better than the Hobbywing 880 esc on 2S, just no lipo cutoff. As for snow, we had a huge dump a while ago but that was it, this what you see here we got over night. "She can dance if she wants to, She can leave this world behind" LOL, sorry I had to type that.

[@RCBirds]

Great snow run👍

[@UncleBobsRC]

Thanks man, the Clod is my fav truck.

[@riffraffsrc]

Hi Bob! Looks like a lot of fun brother! 💯 🤜 🤛 🔥 🔥 😁👍

[@UncleBobsRC]

It was brother!!! How you doing man, any better?

[@riffraffsrc]

@@UncleBobsRC I'm on my third day of a much stronger round of steroids. I've got a little improvement but not much. Still have 9 more days of smaller doses every 3rd day. We'll see how it goes. This time it really got in deep and isn't leaving so easily. If this doesn't clear it up they will have to do something more drastic probably like injections or IV meds. Hope you are doing well my friend! 💯 🤜 🤛

[@UncleBobsRC]

@@riffraffsrc I hope this works man.

[@AddamsPlayground]

They are super fun to run in the snow! We have not had any snow this year, lots of rain but no snow. I should have bought a boat! LOL!! Glad you could get out there and play around like a little kid again!

[@UncleBobsRC]

Thanks Addam!!!! Not much snow is fine with me. I do wish it was a bit more, could have been more fun. I never had a boat, I had 2 planes with about 60 inch wing spans (that was in 91) but I found out I much rather fly on the ground..

[@AddamsPlayground]

@@UncleBobsRC Yeah I get control dyslexia when I tried flying things, it did not work out well at all! I still to the ground as well

[@UrbanLegendRC]

This truck looks like so much fun

[@UncleBobsRC]

Thanks man, love the Clods!!!! Thanks for the view and comment!!! Gave ya a sub!!!!

[@arminrc]

Cool Clod action! A lot of people are driving Clods these days. There must be something to them and i guess it is FUN! 👍😀

[@UncleBobsRC]

Thanks brother, I been driving one since 1987 when I got my first one. I have 4 now but I want more... They aint bashers and not fast, but thats what I like about them, you can make them fast, when I raced them, I ran 13 turn motors and 9 cells (that was before brushless & lipos, also not many RTR's at that time).

[@Blastfromthepastrc1346]

The Clod looks right at home in the snow Bob!👍

[@UncleBobsRC]

Thanks man, but I found out many years ago, Clod & Plastic don't mix well, like Oil & Water. Nothing broke but I wasn't really going nuts. I don't normally run in rain, snow or cold weather, I just had an itch.

[@rc-dom-uk]

Nice run mate . Looks good fun 🤩 n the snow👍

[@UncleBobsRC]

Thanks Dom, I Love the Clods man, just something about them ya know? I don't run it stuff like this normally (I hate the mess & clean up). The Clod Buster was my 2nd ever RC kit back in 1987, in the spring of 87 I got my first, a Blackfoot (still have it too). Thanks for the view & comment, Rock On Man!!!!!

[@HaydadRC]

Nice run Bob!👍😊 Kinda weird how little snow we’ve had but I’m not complaining!😂

[@UncleBobsRC]

Same here man, no complaints.. I can't shovel the stuff, this little bit is fine by me. Love this truck!!!

[@mattiasrc]

Yeah nice snow run, the Clodbuster looks great.

[@UncleBobsRC]

Thanks Mattias, I love the Clod(s)... Right now I only have 4 of them, but back in the 90's I had over 13 of them. This little bit of snow is fine with me.... love winter, hate the mess.

[@mattiasrc]

@@UncleBobsRC wow thats a lot of Clod´s. Im happy with one but wouldnt mind another one because i dont want to risk damage the body of my Chrome edition Clod Buster.

[@UncleBobsRC]

@@mattiasrc I missed out on the chrome & Black edition kits, I'm a little bummed about that....

[@mattiasrc]

@@UncleBobsRC i was planing on buying the black edition but when i had saved up the money for the kit it was sold out :(

[@islandrc-duke1972]

cool clod buster and run in the snow

[@UncleBobsRC]

Thanks man. I don't run in wet or snow normally, but I just had to this time.

[@islandrc-duke1972]

@@UncleBobsRC that's cool,have not seen snow in about 35 or more years where i live

[@DustyFingersRC]

That looked good fun, I need to get in to Lipo's for my Tamiya's. (I read your reply to Pete)

[@UncleBobsRC]

LOL, thanks man.... Pete's lipo video sold me on the one I was using, get 2 packs for @ 35 bucks (pounds). A bit more snow might have been more fun.

[@All_RC_Fun]

Fun light snow run. 😊

[@UncleBobsRC]

Semper Fi brother!!! I don't run in this stuff usually or when its wet out. Thanks for the view and comment!!!

[@robbrennanrc]

Easy big fella, that's automotive porn all the thrusting and grinding and in slow-mo to boot. Great stuff mate but looks far too cold for me 🥶🥶🥶

[@UncleBobsRC]

Thanks Rob, It's pure Clod Porn all the way mate!!!! That truck is stock (other than bearings, steel pinions & 2S lipo) but you know, I can't and don't like to count bearings as an up-grade cause the kits should come with them anyway. As for the pinions, they are the stock tooth count so no advantage there, only the Lipo gave it more speed & longer runs. It was just above freezing so not too bad out, plus I was in the back yard so heat & warmth wasn't far away. Do you own a 7 cell stick pack? if so, remove the spacers from the battery cups and a 7 cell stick pack fits the stock Clod chassis, hint, hint..

[@PeteWylieRC]

Hey cool run (quite literally) Bob! We haven't had any snow at all yet this year although I'm not complaining. This looks like the perfect vehicle for the conditions and looks great bouncing along. Looks quick enough to be fun. I see that yours isn't running stock so how much quicker is this than how it would be out of the box with nimh?

[@UncleBobsRC]

Hiya Pete!!!! The only thing I did is put bearings in it (the norm for a Tamiya kit) and I'm running a Gartpot 2S lipo. Oh, steel pinions too but same tooth count as kit ones. I think, if I remember, stock with nimh pack is @ 12 mph, I think. Back in the day, the OG Clod had a power/economy switch (I still have one) and that would cut the power in half for longer runs... But, that was tossed out when switching to an ESC.

[@DustyFingersRC]

Pete, remember a couple years ago we had snow in April, Prince predicted that one!

[@PeteWylieRC]

@@DustyFingersRC 😂 well saying sometimes it snows in April is using hindsight rather than making a prediction 🤔
