HEY GUYS!!!!!
I don't know if it was a common modification but when I was a child, my dad bought a clod buster(pictures are comming soon) and he modified it with 3 cell packs they were 1200mAh. It has stock mechanical speed controller, 2 magnum or M&Y custom motors, full ball bearings and cva dampers. I remember that I made wheelings with it. I was 6 or7 years old and it is even already to run but it has a mint bullhead body which comes directly from the TAMIYA factory a direct command.

POWER IS FUN!!!

You mean he added 3 cells (to give 10.8V), or 3 packs wired in parrallel (to give 7.2V, 3600mAh)?

I've done it both ways - 2 extra cells to give 9.6V on a Willy's Wheeler, and my Super Clod has a hookup for two 7.2V packs, 2x 3700mAh gives 7400mAh, or about 40 minutes on the "power" setting

& yes, power is fun

But remember, "With great power comes great responsibility", or to paraphrase it for the Cold line, "With great power comes great crushability"

I refind my clod buster today and I say you if it was 10v or 3600 mAh. It is so strong that I never broke any mechanical piece. Only bodies had some cruches. I was not very nice with it. Sand, water, beach and jumps were the normal use.

Did you ever take it sailing? It'll float if the water is deep enough. I've only ever done it in puddles, but there is a TamiyaClub member who took one out on a small lake

edit - here

Topic moved to a more appropriate Section.

I used to take mine out in the river next to my mum's house. You get about 3-5 minutes before the tyres flood enough to sink it....
Reverse wheelies & "Head over heels" were my favourite tricks. Stoppies were possible too, but I never got very good at it

wooooaoooooooooooohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
I didn't think that I cought sailing with my clod buster
I put a remote on and test it!!!!!!!
But I'm scared with three cell packs that it looks like the "yellow submarine"
I'll put some buoys

I asked my father and he puts three cell packs in parallele to have 3600 mah. With the new technologies, Only one is needed with 2 m&y engines. Maybe with2 akkus it will be diabolic. It is a lot of remends I were very young when I drived it
Surprise!!!!
I see that my old clodbuster have its remote and a hummer speed controler. Soon it will be rerunning
And maybe it will float on flakes

If you plan to sail it, just be aware that you don't get much propulsion from the tyres & it'll tend to drift - don't do it in tidal or flowing water or if it's windy, or you'll probably lose it! You might be wise to attach some "retrieval string" until you get used to it.
Looks cool with the CVA shock kit on it!
