Tamiya Clod Buster (2026) RC Monster Truck Electric 4WD 1/10 Scale Kit - Red

he Tamiya Clod Buster returns to the dirt, bringing back the highly celebrated 1987 design in a brand new 2026 release. Sporting the original red colour scheme, the 1/10 scale unassembled kit delivers a massive 380mm (14.96") overall height and aggressive monster truck styling. The vehicle is built around a heavy-duty bathtub chassis layout that houses a unique 4WD system. Providing high traction across loose surfaces, the four-wheel steering ensures the truck navigates tight turns easily, making it highly capable when crawling over backyard obstacles or carving up a local dirt track.

Mechanical grip and reliability drive the design of the heavy-duty driveline. Power is delivered through a dual-motor setup, utilising two included Type 540 motors to spin the massive chevron-tread tyres. The package includes an electronic speed control to manage the voltage effectively, ensuring consistent torque delivery straight out of the box. A completely updated front grille differentiates the 2026 release from previous iterations, arriving fully compatible with select LED lighting systems. Builders can customise the hard ABS body using the classic vintage decal sheet or apply the newly included alternative character graphics.

• Tamiya 58762 Clod Buster: 1/10 Monster Truck with Big-Foot Character
  The Tamiya 58762 Clod Buster returns as a purposefully styled monster truck kit aimed at hobbyists who value scale presence and an unmistakable silhouette. The 2026 release emphasizes the model’s visual heft and traditional big-foot proportions rather than lightweight racing attributes. The kit’s design intent is evident in the body lines, wheel spacing, and the overall setup that recalls the original Clod Buster character.

• Chassis and mechanical character
  The package centers on a Big-Foot style chassis that prioritizes visual scale and rugged aesthetics. Structural choices favor a broad stance and a robust-looking underframe, giving the completed model a substantial road-hugging appearance. Expect layout decisions that support larger wheels and pronounced fender gaps, consistent with monster truck styling in this segment.

  Bodywork and scale presence
  The Clod Buster body reproduces the familiar blocky fenders and raised ride height associated with big-foot trucks. Panel details and proportions are arranged to read clearly at 1/10 scale, which helps the model hold its presence on display. The shell and accessories focus on recognizable cues rather than micro-scale surface detailing, aligning with the model’s display and collection appeal.

  Suitability and intended audience
  This kit is oriented toward model builders and collectors who prefer assembling a visually striking monster truck. The 58762 Clod Buster fits well for those who enjoy a heavier-looking truck for display or casual off-road running rather than those seeking lightweight or circuit-oriented performance. The build offers an opportunity to assemble a classic-format monster truck within a familiar Tamiya kit structure.

  Build impressions without procedural guidance
  The kit’s structural choices and component layout suggest moderate assembly complexity typical of branded plastic kits in this class. Fit and finish are aimed at hobbyists accustomed to kit assembly; the model rewards careful assembly for best visual results. The emphasis remains on recreating the Clod Buster aesthetic at a scale that is display-friendly and mechanically straightforward.
