bjorklo 1620 Posted November 16, 2019 Found this picture on Mokei Kagaku FB page. ( I tried to do a search to see if this thread already have been started but couldn't find anything) I think the Black Edition looks really nice. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Saito2 6686 Posted November 16, 2019 I'm not a fan of the color editions by any means, but this is pretty cool. Tamiya might have half-recognized that most everyone prefers the original to the Super variant. Nice to see a return of the red plastics and stickers paying homage to the original.

GooneyBird 938 Posted November 16, 2019 Yup! I like it! I wouldn't trade my OG red Clod for it, but out of all the color editions this is one of the nicer ones. Also, spare red parts! This is good! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
markbt73 5316 Posted November 16, 2019 Yeah, that looks a LOT better than the blue one with the splash graphics. Oh no, this is making me want another Clod... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GTodd 1349 Posted November 16, 2019 Seeing how we won't get an exact OG Clod edition this one gives me all the pieces I need. I'm going to start hunting down white clod wheels, order an Ampro front grill, and MCI decals. With white wheels and MCI decals I'll have a Rere OG Clod.

geniusanthony 361 Posted November 16, 2019 I was able to get a set of the white Pro-line Brawlers in stock offset before they were discontinued for this same purpose. If you were in the market IMEX are making the Puller and Baja treads again as well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RushRebel 98 Posted November 20, 2019 I don't know if this has been mentioned, but according to Tamiyablog, the SuperClod Black Edition is going to have gearbox halves with molded axle tubes. It's been a while since I've built a Clod, but I could swear the axle tubes were separate pieces that bolted on. Maybe I'm imagining things or just reading into this wrong...or maybe this clod is getting more than just a color change. Here's a screenshot of the article. thoughts?

dc-arena 81 Posted November 20, 2019 I remember looking at the CB in wonder in the old catalogues. I always wondered how it worked, with the two motors etc For steering, did it have two servos? And, what were they like to drive? I always imagined them being quite slow, but fun and bouncy like a Lunchbox. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Super Clod Buster is equipped with two motors and tightly sealed gearboxes that have been molded as one piece with axle housing....

geniusanthony 361 Posted November 20, 2019 I'm sure it's the same. I built a super clod last year, my oG mod clod is built the same. No reason to expect anything different. It was/is a solid design that just works. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bullitt3577 35 Posted November 20, 2019 Why is the MSRP on the Black edition so much cheaper than the Super Clod, $392 vs $516? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

emory70 153 Posted February 17, 2020 The black body definitely makes me want another. I'd like to see what the axles really are before pulling the trigger, though Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GTodd 1349 Posted February 17, 2020 Man the need is strong, i still don't know if I'll go with this or the TXT2. As far as axles, what's the concern? These things are bulletproof. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mtbkym01 4008 Posted February 18, 2020 Should have mine in the next day or so, this thing just seems so much better than the blue super Clod, I’m pretty excited, and will let my original NIB stay NIB for a little while longer 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

These things are bulletproof. I have both, and to be fair the TXT-2 is better in just about every way. But....I'm always conscious of the lack of parts support for the TXT-2. The clod, I can run without this fear...get a Clod and bash on! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mtbkym01 4008 Posted February 18, 2020 I was just saying to my mate @KalEl63 today that I am extremely excited about getting my Black Clod, more so than I have been about any other NIB’s I have got in the last few years. Don’t really know why, but bring it on 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
