  1. Yes into the real ones too, been getting into overlanding the last few years....
  2. NO, unfortunately I sold it to someone. Not sure where it is now a days.
  3. Another one....and something a little different for me as I usually go for off-road buggies, Monster Trucks, etc.
  4. Thanks! It's actually a really dark Blue, it's a pretty old paint job with the old 80's decals. I thought about re-painting it, but I kinda liked the "patina" going to leave it just as it is! I live out in a rural area so I don't even get any glitches on AM, I like running the old school electronics, brings back childhood memories and simpler times.
  5. Hard to believe it's been 10 years since I built this truck!
  6. Just doing some Clodbuster stuff....
  7. Well...postman didn't bring it today...but a few days ago...
  8. Thank You! I don't see anything "bad" about modern electronics, I just like to run vintage components in some of my vintage cars / trucks. I have vintage cars with modern gear as well, really it just depends on what I feel like. For me, it just brings back good memories of simpler times, I built my first kit (The Hornet) in 1985. That first Tamiya kit got me started in RC Racing, etc.
  9. Yes, I run it with the period typical components and some of my other RC as well. The MSC works great after cleaning up and put a new resistor on it. The only modern part of running it is a 2s lipo, mainly for convenience, the steady voltage and extended run time. I live out in a rural area so I barley even get any glitches on AM, FM is even better. I also run 2.4ghz in some of my other stuff so I have quite the variety.
  10. I've been in the hobby since 1985, have had a few times where I've stepped back and took a break for awhile and did something else. Some of it came about from job situation, family situation, life or just plain old getting burnt out.
  11. This is another on of the Clod Busters that I've had for quite awhile, it's not perfect, it's not pretty and it's certainly not a shelf queen! I've recently switched it back over to old school electronics from running a HW880 and a Flysky 2.4ghz system. Wanted to bring it back to typical 1980's configuration. Really the only "modern" part hidden in there is a 25kg metal gear servo to help steer the beast. Ran it around all over the yard yesterday and it still runs as well, it's not fast by any means, but it is definitely nostalgic and FUN!
  12. The Bullhead and Clodbuster chassis are identical except for the color. The bull head front body front mounts are different, but you can easily use Clodbuster mounts or universal type body posts to mount any body you wish.
