I just recently found my poor old Clod Buster with an ESP 4 link chasis in the attic. No speed control, radio or body (I can't believe I lost that body!). Duratrax shocks on the rear and Team Associated shocks on the front. After watching your video, I ordered the 880, a couple of lipo battery packs a charger, a new steering servo and radio. I feel like a kid waiting for Xmas to get here.

Oh right on! Have you owned a Clod before?

The best brushed motors for a clod these days are the Holmes Hobbies Retro Sports by a long shot. They are high torque crawler motors but available down to 15 turn and run slower than you would expect. On mine a set of 17t motors almost completely eliminated axle stall.

@@ollysmooBy inclines I assume you are asking if the front spins more than the rear, that’s what I mean by axle stall. Short of a dual sensored low kv brushless setup, these will be your best bet for torque without swapping to 550 size motors, which won’t clear the stock suspension.

Thank you for another great video, I bought a Clodbuster black edition a while ago and have kept it sealed. I thought that tamiya was only going to produce one run and then discontinue them and it would become valuable. Around Christmas they were sold out and guys on ebay were asking $600-$800 USD. Now a fresh shipment came in from Japan and they are easily obtainable. Your videos make me want to open mine and get it running. I have a vintage tekin titan esc that would be perfect for it, I always liked the kyosho magnetic mayhem motors

Hey Jesse, I just ran my motor wires in the stock location, through the hole in the bottom of the chassis. No issues with reach. Perhaps your 15T motors have shorter leads on them than my 20T motors do? Not to worry, you can always install longer wires on the motor, or even build an adapter to give you some more length. 🤙
