The Return of a Legend: Tamiya's Super Clod Buster
The Tamiya 58518 Super Clod Buster is an iconic name in the world of RC trucks, making a triumphant return with its 2012 edition. This monster truck is a nod to the classic pickup trucks of the 1980s, boasting a body design that captures the essence of that era. Its realistic appearance is further enhanced by metal-plated parts on the front grille, air intake, and roll bar.
Engineering Excellence: Twin-Motor Powerhouse
Underneath its nostalgic exterior, the Super Clod Buster is a powerhouse of engineering. It features a twin-motor dual gearbox system that delivers 4WD capabilities, allowing it to tackle rough terrains with ease. The inclusion of eight coil spring dampers and massive 165mm diameter tires ensures that this truck can handle anything from rocky trails to muddy landscapes. Additionally, the 4-wheel steering system provides exceptional maneuverability, making tight turns a breeze.
Unmatched Durability and Design
This 1/10 scale R/C assembly kit is constructed with a highly durable bathtub-type monocoque chassis frame. The front and rear trailing arm suspension work in tandem with sealed gearboxes equipped with differential gears, offering a smooth and controlled ride. The oversized tires not only add to the visual appeal but also contribute to the truck's impressive off-road performance.
