Tamiya RC 1/10 Clod Buster 2026
The Clod Buster is one of Tamiya's most recognisable monster trucks, combining oversized tyres, an imposing stance and a distinctive twin-motor 4WD chassis. The 2026 edition brings the classic machine back with updated styling details while retaining the rugged character that has made the Clod Buster a favourite among Tamiya R/C enthusiasts.
Please note this is an unassembled plastic model kit requiring assembly; paints, cement and hobby tools are not included and are required to complete the model.
This 1/10 scale assembly kit features a red moulded body with a revised front grille and an updated sticker sheet featuring additional illustrated artwork. Beneath the body, the proven chassis uses 4WD and 4-wheel steering, with separate front and rear axle assemblies each driven by a Type 540 motor.
The updated front sections also allow LED lights to be installed separately, giving builders the option to add further visual detail to their finished truck. With its combination of classic Clod Buster styling, huge tyres and four-wheel-drive capability, this is an unmistakable Tamiya monster truck project.
