Hi - I'm Andy and I'm going to build a Clodzilla. I've had a go at building a couple of RC cars before, and I've had a go at writing a couple of blogs too, so this time I'm going to combine the two and see how we go!

I've bought myself a second-hand Tamiya Super Clodbuster and an new ESP Clodzilla IV Rock Crawler Conversion Kit. Both of these marques have been around for some time now, Tamiya have been producing pretty much unchanged Clods since 1987 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clodbuster), and ESP (based in S.Wisconsin, USA, http://www.esphobby.com/) have been producing a range of aluminium RC conversion kits since 1990.

Anyway, I've got a few ideas of my own to throw into the mix. I expect the project will take six months or so, with time and funds for other bits and pieces allowing. All the parts I have are on the bench. Here we go... well tomorrow morning anyway!
