  1. They are awesome. I love the color combo to this one. Please post up some pictures! We would love to see them!
  2. Haha.. Well they are big and beautiful that captures the 80s era of Monster trucks so nicely. I think that’s what draws me to them so much. 😀 I forgot to mention that in my build, I ended up using a TEU-106BK in mine since I wasn’t a fan of how short the Hobby Wing supplied ESC’s power switch wire was, so it would not reach the chassis’ precut holes that were originally marked for them. I also wanted to place the “on/off” switch stickers on the chassis as well, where it should belong but really couldn’t due to the short wire limitation.
  3. Same here. I thought about not painting it either but I'm glad I did. The matte texture alone PLUS the fact that the color of the "suggested" Gunship Grey paint is MUCH deeper in color than the grey color that it comes in. The box art itself is also indicative of that as well. In addition to the paint job, if you do not paint it, the decal’s own grey color in between would not match up properly with the plastic grey color of the body.
  4. Yes, I can confirm those are still there and have always been unfortunately. Come to think of it, there were some tiny excess bits of flat plastic on the edge/bezel on the front window on one corner that were easily removed with a modeling/exacto knife before painting but other than that, a simple white priming then paint on a sunny outdoor day did the job well.
  5. Thank you! I’m definitely digging this one a bit more than the Black Edition but I keep going back and forth between the two.
  6. I didn’t come across any pain points with the body. It looks exactly the same as all other Clod Busters I have worked on sporting the same 1987 date stamp under it.
  7. Thank you! Thankfully, we had a few oddly warm days a week or so ago so I was able to paint outside. Also, the matte TS paints (gunship grey, matte black) dry extremely quickly which I am grateful for. Excited to see yours!
  8. Just finished mine! Updated pictures:
  9. Just received both of mine as well. Opened one to build. It looks incredible. Might be my new favorite over the Black Edition version. While I haven't started the build, I did finish cutting the decals out to get ahead of that piece . A few notes: - All chrome parts are moulded in black plastic. - The decals labeled "SUPER CLOD BUSTER" on the sides are clear around the lettering, not black as how the box art has it (which IMO looks MUCH better). ...More to come if I spot any other differences aside from the colour changes.
  10. Hey all, Finished the build and love the way it looks and it all came out so it was worth it. I do have an issue where the front chrome bumper that attaches to the chassis have screws that pinch and damage the front bottom painted piece of the body (under the chrome front). Any tips on that? My only though was to reverse the nut that goes on top and put it on the bottom but it’s too wide so I would need to put a smaller one perhaps. Does anyone else have this issue as well? Any thoughts or tips would be appreciated. Thanks again!
  11. Beautifully done! You definitely need a good pair of channel locking pliers to pop in all those tie rods! I recently finished mine this past weekend and I gotta say, I really love the way the black edition looks.
