18 year old Zilla2 on steroids

Post by one »

Original Bowtie clod with Zilla2 conversion, 4 inch original Associated gold shocks from 2 decades ago, and Trinity Matched Madness motors on 16.4 volts. :D


This is an 18 year old truck that knows how to party. :)

Nice!!! Great to see some old school Clods showing up around here. I've always loved a Gravedigger body on a Clod. Nice work!

Love it but did you run out of green paint? :wink:

Would look even better if those bars on the gearboxs were green and the rod ends were silver/metal color.

There is just something about a ClodBuster that makes it mesmerizing to run. Must be the big chevrons. Nice truck and pics.

Awesome truck. The Clod is the one RC that I've always wanted and never got.

That's not Clodbuster anymore....that's GraveDigger. I don't think that this hobby has any politics involve but to be politically correctly....yes, GraveDigger.

To me the axles are what make the truck, that would make this a Clodbuster. But, the body, the green, that would make it a Grave Digger. Clod Digger. Grave Buster. Whatever its name is, it's pretty awesome. 8)
