No. I got out bid by the baron! So annoying! I thought I'd struck gold when I found that auction and then it was posted on here. Had you found it before it was on here btw?
I was sure my bid would be fine and don't have time or the internet to watch auctions any more or it would have been mine. That's the third I have missed out on.
Yup, I also saw it before it was posted here, damn you Anthony (just kidding mate), I don't either have time anymore to watch and follow the Ebay craze, man prices for RC10 and parts are rising quite steeply with more and more people involved into each auction I was not used to this

Tell me about it. I am glad I have all the cars I need and am just after a couple of little bits, a Tecnacraft wing here a Litespeed motor mount there, etc, etc... not much thank goodness...
sorry to out the auction guys
But seriously, anybody looking for this stuff and willing to pay big bucks will find it. I have an auto search set up for (tecnacraft, technacraft) so ebay is kind enough to email me every time one of those words comes up. If someone really butchers the spelling or uses a generic term I'll miss it though. I just got one such email with 2 listings having aero-foils, have fun.

I know people can find stuff if they are looking for it but I just think a lot of people look for stuff because of this site. e.g. the aerofoil is sold here, a car is shown with it and then an auction with one is outed, thus peoples interest is peaked.
But did they want one before? Were they looking and would they have found it that's another question.
I am just bummed about it still.
So are you going to out these current auctions because my Tecnacraft search doesn't show them?
My friend just sent me a text saying he was taking his Mint unmodified Clod to the LHS for sale. I told him weeks ago I wanted it.
I'll post pics as soon as i get it. Im undecided if I want to turn it into a crawler OR if Im going to leave it stock. I had a JPS clod years ago. I'll have to find the pic, it was mean.

I am sure we all have tales of the ones we let get away mate, I have sold many a car which I should have kept. Just don't let it get to you and look onwards and upwards you can always get one again.
nice zilla II, how do you like it? im thinking about picking up that cantilever kit is it a good one? also like the giant trac tires you have on there, ur clod is a stunner.
thanks Gammacrush, I love the truck . the cantilever's make a huge difference. makes the suspension smoother and helps the truck to roll more rather then flip over when turning fast. I built this thing around 10/11 years ago. played with it alot back then but now maybe 2 or 3 times a year Ill break it out. just change a few thing to it . I locked up the rear steer and replaced the 1/4th servo that I had to steer front/back . and put a servo up on the front bumper thats new also plus I added some new era wheel wideners. another big improvement.
you make that cantilever kit sound awesome. i like the way esp describes the cantilevers "it gives your truck the look of true rising suspension action, like the real monster trucks" or something along those lines haha. i want to get those cantilevers but have no money right now! i got my zilla2 from an ex-girlfriend long ago for valentines day. and it is way out of commision right now. it sits like almost falling apart but its all there... just needs some screws and bolts to hold it all together. i will ressurect it one day. i think of it as like a retired superhero, or at least that is the persona i give it in my head. LOL! do you have any rc10s? also, welcome to the board man!
here is an old pic of my first clod, I bought it used or traded as we kids did back in the day, picture was taken at a saw mill where I grew up, my buddies dad owned it and let us play in the sawdust mounds exhausted out the back of the mill.

I know the feeling, wish I would have had more pics of my old rcs. Great looking clod though!
I started on this Clodbuster a few weeks back and have been updating a current build thread over at Clodtalk.
Basically I started with a busted truck from eBay and scratch built the chassis, links, shock mounts, upper link mounts, (lowers were...

Got the truck running, took it for a test drive and broke a couple things. Nothing big. The truck with 5.5s is super quick, pulling wheelies. This will be a fun truck to drive around the house.

Im looking for some better shocks for my clodbuster but I dont want to spend a lot of money I only bash around I was thinking of a set of traxxas stock 3.3 tmaxx shocks does anyone know if they will fit on a clodbuster if so would they be a good...

100mm yeah racing shocks. about 10 bux a pair and are actually pretty nice.
i run a set of 80mm on my race clod.
lhs called me saying they had a few old rc cars i could have, that someone left in their store (perks of being the guy that has tons of old rc stuff no one else wants lol)
one of the trucks was this monster clodbuster.
i add the shocks, otherwise...

Thanks, yeah I've sold way too many of my clods. I only have one of the dozen I built over the years.... maybe I'll build another. Always been a fan of cantilever suspension, so if I see one I may have to grab it....
Well, the Clodbuster volcano in my head has finally exploded and I've decided it's finally time to try and get one. It will be a runner, I want something slower that I can run around my driveway without tearing up the driveway and have fun....

Do not use acetone on anything Tamiya. They are about 90% abs parts and will melt. I think maybe the only parts not abs are rod links for most models. The red or blue parts I think are also a nylon. Possibly a blend so don't chance it.
What ever happened to the coolest r/c monster truck ever?
Check out this auction, I've been watching it since it was posted. A Clod with a TTR Centurion chassis, the original, not the special edition, probably the most collectible and hard to find...

You can find reproduction grilles and tailgates on eBay for $22 each. Unfortunately they're not chrome. However somebody did a nice job with their 3D printer. While I know they're not THE sought after pieces, I think they look better than that 4x4x4...
Hey guys just got my first clodbuster (super clod chrome edition).
I wanna modify this beast but don't really know much. Ive heard there are mods that are a must.
Can someone give me some links to things like shocks, what kind of 4 link kit ect. on...
I was not used to this 
just change a few thing to it . I locked up the rear steer and replaced the 1/4th servo that I had to steer front/back . and put a servo up on the front bumper thats new also
