Scr8p's Ol' School Blackfoot Build

If taking it back in the house after taking pics counts as progress, then yes, I've made some progress.

How far exactly is your house from your picture-taking place? Halfway around the globe?

Thanks mate, any time you can spare some more........

I agree completely that a Blackfoot has always intrigued me. Especially after I watched one zipping around on my R/C Wheels VHS! I never got one though. I began with a Clodbuster and then skipped ahead to a Jrx-T. Actually most, if not all, the Tamiya monster truck vehicles have looked cool. Buggies too, for that matter. I guess the grass is just always greener... This is a nice looking project!

If you get it running and build a trailer for it you can use it as a shop truck....The best of both worlds...

Nice blackfoot with period hop ups on it. Nice to see it running sometime..
Did you get the chassis brace too?

[scr8p]

the brace that goes from the front tower down to the rear shock area? no, i don't have that.

Yup that one.. You should get one of those since you have the other parts to connect it already. It will make the chassis stiffer hence the name chassis stiffener Lol..

Just checked your pics again you will need a few more parts to complete the chassis brace. There is a bracket needed to that sits at the back tower area.

Brian told me that my blackfoot need a you-g rear sway bar. So he hooked me up with one.
