The steering all needs to be adjusted, and I was trying to drive with one hand and shoot video with the other, so the quality sucks, but it is a blast to drive 🙂 Once I get it all dialed in, it will be something fun to goof off with at Lumberton, sorta like the clowns at intermission 🙂

The Clod Buster was the very first monster truck I ever owned, and it is what got me hooked on RC monster trucks. After the Clod, it was nothing but trucks 🙂

I need to find and scan the pics, but I used to have a Clod that was all done up almost like a scaler - I set it up like a Raceway Patrol truck, painted it black and white, had working lights on the roof and flashing headlights and taillights, working siren, backup beeper, the works. We used to take it down to American Hobbies in Englishtown NJ (LONG time gone now) and goof off, chase each other like redneck Cannonball Run 🙂

I am seriously thinking about doing that over again 🙂
