I also got one for the re-re Monster Beetle, along with some spare parts for it. I've not installed it yet, waiting for the OEM diff to fail.

Hey guys, I recently purchased a Blackfoot off Ebay and it had a Thorp tranny in it. It's got the 48 pitch gears which makes it super quiet. I tried changing around different motors and found out that I cannot use a silver can or the black can motor...

I have taken everything apart, cleaned and re-greased the diff. There was a 2mm washer in the thrust bearing that was completely shattered. I replaced it and put everything back together. It seems to be working good without any slipping. Thanks guys!

I got a Blackfoot off EBay and it came with these axle carriers. Can someone help me identify them.

I've also got a pair laying around here. I always thought they were homemade too!

I built my first Tamiya Blackfoot reissue and want to share hop-up tips for your build. These are simple, cost-effective improvement suggestions that can improve the performance of your Blackfoot, Monster Beetle, Mud Blaster family line of vehicles....

Last post

Man, I was just complaining to a friend about the ridiculous amount of bump steer my freshly built re-release Monster Beetle had.
Tried your trick of installing the ball studs on the underside of the servo saver and POW! Gone!
You've made my day....

First post

I was just wondering if anyone has put the mip super ball differential in their blackfoot and if it is worth the expense?

Last post

It is worth it. Super smooth..better than an old Thorp..and works great with the ReRe CVDs.

I recently picked up a MIP SP1 tranny with a special Ball Raced Diff (BR-100).

After searching everywhere, I can't seem to locate a manual for the Ball Raced Diff. I have the parts diagram, but no instructions - in particular I am trying to find...

Last post

Agree on the standard lubrication for ball diffs - silicone grease on diff and molybdenum grease for the thrust bearing. I've seen three versions of the idler gear - steel, brass and delrin. In my opinion the brass and delrin may run dry (of course...
