So my plan to thin out the car collection has gone slightly wrong & I now appear to have an original Clod Buster on its way to me... I'm not going to complain as I only have myself to blame :D

Now as much as I've always wanted a Clod I know I'll never be happy with leaving it standard & so I'm already on the hunt for parts to modify it, and the starting point has to be the chassis - if only from an aesthetic perspective. Does anyone know of a UK supplier of modified chassis or parts? Everything I seem to find for the Clod is in the US & the carriage for most of the parts just doesn't make them a viable purchase :(

I don't recall there ever being a UK supplier of aftermarket Clod parts except for when Fusion used to sell GMade bits, but GMade don't make them any more.
Even when crawling started to gain popularity over here there weren't that many companies making kits for them - New Era, TCS, RC Guy (Gecko) and GMade spring to mind but they were all imported products and then the Clod pretty much fell out of favour due to the popularity of 2.2" crawlers.
Now larger scale 'monster trucks' are seeing a bit more popularity, the Axial Wraith or Grave Digger are common donors with huge spares and aftermarket support.

I can only think of Crawford (CPE) still making Clod bits, but it's not something I've really looked into lately
