original 80's tamiya clodbuster

[Mawler1]

nice collection...


always wanted a clodbuster, but here in Australia they stopped selling the clod when the Juggernaut came out... and as everyone knows... the Juggernaut is LEGENDARY for the wrong reasons, those being weak diffs, transfer case and tailshafts (driveshafts)...

so I missed out on one of those... but I didn't miss out on getting a Juggernaut 2!....

mine's currently painted Tamiya TS-19 Metallic blue... but I've bought all the bits to reshell it using F-350 Hilift body parts.... was going to keep the blue shell as the runner, and the new shell as the shelf queen, but my Jugg2's had a rather hard life... as until recently It still used a MSC... which was not kind on the diffs... it also is currently sporting a pair of Carson Poison Motors.... which might come out Silver can's back in and one of the poison motors goes into my Knight Hauler...

also have a TXT-1 (Juggernaut 3 in everything but name) too which is awesome on gravel

I always admired the clod buster, and remember reading articles of the ESP Clodzilla upgrades in RC Car Action. It was out of my price at the time.

As for classics, I have a 1980's tamiya bruiser and I added a 1979 Ford body from HPI, with proline tires and steel tube bumpers. I like it, good fun to run and look at!
