I really liked the Bigfoot 1 body that Traxxas released, but I immediately thought of putting it on the Super Clod, with the Bigfoot scheme, but decided to save the Bigfoot decals for a future Blackfoot.....

So I bought the body for the Stampede that I had, painted it yellow and added a Tamiya Holiday Buggy driver in it, along with the Trenchers and the lowered body.

that thing looks awesome. The detail work on the body looks beautiful. Even a chevy guy would have to admit that the realism in that body looks good 8)

I like how it fits your pede...could you tell me center of wheel well to center of wheel well measurements approximately?

Thanks,

I'd like to get a set of 1.9 scale wheels and some tall 1.9 scale tires on it, need to find the right offset.

It’s been a while since I posted anything on this, so here it goes.

I’ve widened the front end with the RPM wide arm kit.

Hobbywing Brushless system.

And added a set of Jconcepts Midwest wheels and some Proline Destroyer 2.2 tires.
