The Tamiya 58518 Super Clod Buster celebrates classic 1980s pickup truck lines in its 2012 release. Chrome-effect metal plating on the front grille, air intake and roll bar adds convincing scale detail to the turnout body.
Under the shell sits a twin-motor, dual gearbox system that powers 4WD performance across loose and uneven surfaces. A set of eight coil spring dampers combined with large 165mm tyres helps the vehicle absorb impacts, while 4-wheel steering boosts manoeuvrability in tight spots.
The bathtub-type monocoque chassis gives a strong foundation, and the front and rear trailing arm suspension works with sealed gearboxes and differential gears for dependable power delivery and protection from debris.
In place of the original mechanical controller, this edition fits a TEU-103BK ESC designed for dual motor applications and ships with two 540 motors to provide robust drive for scale and off-road sessions.
Collectors and active RC drivers alike will appreciate the balance of period styling and a durable, upgrade-friendly drivetrain in the Super Clod Buster.
