The Tamiya Clod Buster is a 1/10-scale monster truck released September 21, 1987 by the Tamiya Corporation. With its four-wheel drive, four-wheel steering, twin Mabuchi RS-540 motors and 165mm tires it quickly became one of Tamiya's most popular radio controlled model kits. So large is the aftermarket for the Clod Buster that it is possible to build one entirely of aftermarket parts with no Tamiya parts whatsoever.

  • The Tamiya Clod Buster is a 1/10-scale monster truck released September 21, 1987 by the Tamiya Corporation. With its four-wheel drive, four-wheel steering, twin Mabuchi RS-540 motors and 165mm tires it quickly became one of Tamiya's most popular radio controlled model kits. The Clod Buster and its related models virtually spawned a dedicated aftermarket industry which created a host of modifications to improve performance and durability. Many small businesses have popped up over the years to cater to just the Clod Buster owner and a few have since gone on to have great success manufacturing parts for other R/C models. The model's body is a detailed replica of a Chevrolet pickup truck, but the current "Super Clod Buster" has a different grille and tailgate which make no reference to Chevrolet, presumably for marketing and licensing purpopses. So large is the aftermarket for the Clod Buster that it is possible to build one entirely of aftermarket parts with no Tamiya parts whatsoever.
