Whenever I get a chance guys I'll take some pictures of it up on the crushed cars that I have. Maybe this afternoon providing it's not raining.

[CowBoyClod]

Dont encourage me I may end up with four more...LOL If I did would need all the man power to run them all at once. But honesty I like to find someone that also has stock Clods close to me. it's too bad Spidubic not close by.

Here's my list of Clods

Super ClodBuster
Super ClodBusterII
Big Bad&BouncyII Retro
ClodBuster 25th Anniversary

Outside the Clods

Traxxas Captain's Curse.

I came up with this idea to line these trucks up after a show of BATTLE OF THE GIANT MONSTER TRUCKS that happened on June 26,27th 1987 in Furgus Ontario
Canada, those were the real glory days.

I found these ClodBuster visors at RPPhobby.com


and found out that they are selling them on ebay at a lower shipping cost three days ago and I've been wanting one for a very long time now so I bought one tonight for the ClodBuster25th.
Keep your eyes open as you will see more details added to it a little bit at a time as the months go by.

Update

Just so everyone knows I did a few updates with decals and Chevrolet emblem on the left door to the ClodBuster25
Next will be the CPE bedliner and bedrails.

and here it is..

Do those tires cushion the landings as well as the stockers? Any difference in handling?

The rubber compound on these Dual tires is much softer compared to the stock Clod tires, therefore they do have better grip and you gotta be on your game to prevent the Clod from laying over on it's side when steering very sharply.

I came pretty close of laying this beast on it side earlier in the year on ashphalt and I managed to save it from going right over. Allot say.. that the steering is sloppy on the stock Clod and I do agree to a certain extent. But my ClodBuster25th is the only one in my fleet that steers sharply both ways on a dime next to the GroundPounder.

Thanks to Brett CPE the bedliner came in today and now is installed.

Disc Brakes

Recently I purchased a set of scale plastic Disc Brakes at ebay. But as it turned out their just too big to be used so they gotten tossed to the side and I moved onto my back up plan which was to make two homemade Disc Brakes and have them fasten to the front and back gear case on ClodBuster25th

[CowBoyClod]

Now installed onto gear cases

I managed to get the brake disc fasten onto the front and back gear gearcase.

Now for the pictures..

Hope everyone likes it!!
