I built one of these when I was a kid and LOVED it. Glad to see you have one running in good condition - I'd love to pick one up again!
The size is really big truck not fast but very very cool nice body shell 👍
Hi Craig , the truck is pretty darn big and back then when they originally were released they appeared to be even bigger. No there not fast but the retro cool 😎 Cheers again
My 1st encounter with the clodbuster was at truck fest in around 1989! There was a rc stall there doing a scale monster jam featuring clods that looked fantastic amd I knew there and then I wanted one. In 1991 my father eventually caved and I became the proud owner of a bullhead
Hi Kevin that is an ace story! Glad you finally got that Bullhead in 1991 , do you still have it?
@@andyrobinsonrc2480 yes I do still have it plus years later Iv acquired a clodbuster and a midnight pumpkin to go with it. Absolutely love tamiya monster trucks
Nice monster truck.
Cheers Chris, thank you very much , thanks for watching
Very nice 👍
Hi Ronnie, thank you very much
Bit of a result for that price 👍👍
Cheers Rob, yeah I was very pleased with it for that money
Absolutely massive. Height dwarfs even the Clodbuster (as if that could be possible).
Thanks for watching Richard. Yep they are a massive truck and like you say tall than a clod. ;) cheers
Nice old beast, they are a blast to drive in a sand pit or on the beach.
Yeah, I don’t think this had had very much use until I got my hands on it, o do like the clod/bull chassis , there just fun 🤩 cheers :)
That was a great watch for a Saturday morning, Andy! I totally remember those AA's that just won't sit right, get contact, very frustrating! I never even seen one of these in real life! Back in the 80'ies those were way out of reach for me and my friends, only saw them in the catalogues. Really nice seeing this one, although of course it needs a lot of restoring, I'm sure you'll figure out what you want to do with it. Have a great weekend there, mate!
Hey hey , cheers for watching ! Yeah unfortunately the terminals had corroded slightly in the handset. Well since filming ive moved it on because I wanted a Tamiya cc01 Land Rover Defender, but I’ll buy another clod/bullhead at some point ;) look after yourself and keep up the good work with the videos ;)
Recently got my hands on one (someone's unused xmas present from years ago apparently they couldn't put it together), wanted one since I saw it on mudbusters. I actually had gravedigger back then (still do), but mine was an American release one we bought when we went to diggers dungeon when I was a kid.
I love these! I have a Clodbuster also and I am in the process of basically putting it back to original as I basically broke it putting to much power through it. . these are so much fun
Hi Adrian cheers for watching , I love the clod/bull platform great fun monster trucks, a bit fragile but they look great 👍 cheers ;)
Never had an issue with crabbing since I done a durl servo conversion.
But I didn't have a issue with normal set up, so I'd look at the adjustment.
That is so cool! Got to be a keeper.
How do fella, cheers for watching, to be honest it’s not a keeper lol Tamiya Land Rover CC01 came up at good money , so I moved the bullhead on, but I will get another Bull/Clod as I really like them. Cheers
@@andyrobinsonrc2480 I see why you were drawn to the Landy 👍🏼
Ha ha , I know. Been after one for ages at a good price, and I wanted that more :)
You’ve got to love the Bullhead, I’ve got a rere one and a black edition super Clodbuster and they are fantastic.
I fancy getting another clod buster or bullhead , but one I can keep permanently :) they are great fun. Many thanks
Cool bro
Cheers fella , hope you enjoyed it
that rc is awesome,cool video and run
Thank you very much, cheers for watching :)
Ive got one of these and a Clod to restore one day.
That’s cool ! I love them, they are very retro and pretty unique in the Tamiya line up :) cheers for watching
It’s a keeper looks good, just glue the tires, had too do it on my lunch box 👊🏻👍🏻
Ha ha it definitely needs the tyres gluing ha ha , cheers Cam
Ah, the good old Bullhead! I always wanted either one of these or a Clod Buster, despite their 'quirks'. If I were you I'd keep it and do it up a bit, maybe even throw a few upgrades on there. Awesome video, look forward to the next one!
They’ve got under my skin and not matter how many I have that come and go I’d like one as a keeper in the collection ;)
Great score, Andy! Hope this comment sticks, having a lot of issues! Sorry for the short comments at the moment!
No sweat Mark , cheers for the support, I’ve had problems with comments in the past myself. Take it easy
Hi again Andy! My friend, I was getting goosebumps watching this cos it featured both my fave ever vintage radio ( acoms techniplus silver ) and the truly iconic monster truck, the Bullhead! I also really identified with your story about you and your school friend and how he had a much faster awesome hobby grade rc car! I too had a toy grader aged around 11, mine was the Niko Dominator, and my school friend had an awesome Tamiya Escort Cosworth white Tiger Stripe on the TA01 chassis and the speed and coolness of his made me both gutted and absolutely determined to get one for Christmas! Lol. In the end my parents couldn’t afford a cossy so I got a Tamiya Grasshopper 2 out the local paper classified ads ( remember those days! No eBay back then! Lol ) and I absolutely loved that car and went on to own 3 different cossy’s in my middle teens! Wonderful memories my friend! Loved this vid Andy! ( btw, it’s very noticeable that with every video you’re doing, you are growing in confidence and seem more and more relaxed in front of the camera mate! It’s not easy talking to a camera and being confident! It takes time and practice! Well Done my friend! ) 💯🔥👍 Wes, Liverpool UK
Hi Wes thanks for the awesome story and comment , that’s what makes the hobby so cool! Glad it’s noticeable I’m getting more comfortable on camera , I used to radio DJ and obviously no one sees you when your doing that your behind a mic hidden in a studio. Cheers for the awesome support as always mate , take care
@@andyrobinsonrc2480 oh my goodness Andy I’ve just realised how ridiculously long my messages was to you mate!! I’m so so sorry Andy!! I get carried away and don’t realise just how long my messages are mate!! So sorry Andy!! 🤦♂️ Wes.
Great score with the Bullhead, (just a heads-up, the front bumper is upside down). Love the color Mate. Awesome run too. Have a great weekend my friend.
Hi Bob cheers ! You know I was looking at that but could put my finger in it lol , I like the colour as well thanks for checking this one out , take care fella
Hi mate great vid know that battery experience as well lol . With a little sprucing up that will be a great truck to keep, I guess it depends on if you want the bullhead or a clod. Just got a clod a few weeks ago amazing machine , size, weight just it's presence is crazy
Hi Paul many thanks is for watching :) they are awesome trucks ! In a way nothing quite beats them and there is a certain charm about them
Hi Andy, that’s an amazing pickup, and you got it at a great price, now who wouldn’t want one of those big beasties. Niiiiiiiiiiice video Andy, do you call your Land Rover Andy the Landy lol 😂
Hi Mikey, yeah I think it was a good price as well. I’ve wanted one for ages, I love them! Ha ha no my Landy isn’t called Andy , as I child I called it Robbie for some reason , I just call it RGC pretty boring really ;)
Front bumper is upside down
Yeah I realised that the time ha ha but I didn’t keep t very long
Salut my friend super car super video subscribe subscribe .
Hi Ungur Dani , cheers for your comment! Thank you for watching and subscribing:) take care
Sorry still prefer the clock but I would still own the bull head.
Hi Brad , yeah I agree the Clod edges it but I’d get which ever is the best deal at the time of purchase ;)
Was that a pile of you know what?
It was indeed ;)
Did you sa you got this for 45 quid? If so, that's a bloody good price. I only sold my lads Clodbuster with the same radio you have for 175 18 months ago. Even stock, these are quite quick.
It looks like that's on eco setting as full chat should be quicker.
How do, no sorry maybe I didn’t say it clearly , it was £145 or there abouts. I t wasn’t in Eco mode but I think it looked slower because the tyres did need gluing to the rims and when you accelerated the wheel would spin inside the tyre. Many thanks for watching, take care
