58065 – Tamiya Clod Buster
Incredibly popular monster of a monster truck released in September 1987 with 4 wheel drive and 4 wheel steering. The kit was available for quite a while but only the very early models had the Chevrolet logo so vintage Chevy Clods are rarer and command a higher price. True testament to the legacy of this truck is that a version of the Clod Buster ‘The Super Clod Buster’ is available today.
The Clod Buster has a massive cult following today with a huge range of after-market hop-ups and add ons being available. Many also consider the Clod Buster to be the forefather of the modern Rock Crawling scene, with lots of Clod Buster parts, in particular the axles being used as the basis for many successful “Home Built” crawlers.

TAMIYA 1/10 CLOD BUSTER RC MONSTER TRUCK #58065 *NEW*
Re-release Tamiya 58535 R/C 1:10 BULLHEAD Cold Buster Super Clod Buster "2012"
The only true monster truck!!! 4X4X4 !! All the others looked the part but fell short when it came time to crush things. This thing was a real blast to drive over things in the back yard. Ultamately this is one of the trucks that started the whole R/C crawler movement and for that fact alone it is ICONIC
Love my Clod Orange Krush its my fave
Indeed! Orange Krush is one of our favourite Clods Pete!
