Tamiya Super Clod Buster RC Monster Truck 1/10 Scale - 58518

The Tamiya Super Clod Buster (TAM58518) is a 1/10 scale 4WD RC monster truck kit, re-released in 2012 and built around the iconic twin-motor, solid-axle drivetrain that made the original Clod Buster a legend in radio control. This is a kit build, not a ready-to-run model, so assembly is required before you can drive it — which makes it a rewarding project for intermediate to experienced RC builders as much as it is a serious monster truck. The Super Clod Buster's high-clearance body and large-diameter tyres give it genuine crawling and bashing capability over rough, uneven terrain, grass, gravel, and loose surfaces where smaller trucks struggle.

Key Features

• Twin-motor 4WD layout with independent motors driving the front and rear solid axles, a layout unique to the Clod Buster platform
• High-clearance chassis with large monster truck tyres provides strong ground clearance for rough terrain and off-road bashing
• Kit format requires full assembly, making it suitable for builders who want a hands-on project rather than an out-of-the-box driver
• Detailed polycarbonate body shell captures the classic monster truck proportions the Super Clod Buster is known for
• Compatible with Tamiya's range of hop-up and tuning parts, giving experienced builders room to modify the platform over time
