Well, as my hunt continues I did find this ad with the Shinsei Cheetah I had. Looking for one of those now also just for nostalgia. I remember picking it because it had the pistol radio.

I hate to keep derailing the thread with my Blackfoot talk. But I was thinking that maybe it was the Blackfoot QD model they sold as I think the regular Blackfoot was probably only a kit model. And the reason I believe it was the Blackfoot and not some other Nikko monster truck is I feel like I remember the black red and yellow so clearly. Then later discovering the Blackfoot and thinking about how I used to drool over it at the toy store.

I had the 57. Got it for Christmas of 87.... I think. Lasted a few minutes and it quit. Took it back to the store and got another. Same thing happened. Took that one back too. Shortly thereafter I got my Midnight Pumpkin.

I gave up on that site long ago. Can’t seem to get a password to stick for more than one login and then you go to search and it says your searches are limited. Nope, I’m done, dont need to see it lol
It's time to stand up to the bully. Support the companies that support the industry, not the ones that tear it down. Say no to Traxxas Factory Works website

The Cheetah worked properly, it was slow as hell though. And as for the off road they advertised, if a blade of grass got in its way it came to a dead stop.

This was actually my wife's idea (so big credit to her) and I managed to 'happen' upon one of these and picked it up last night. 4 hour drive - round trip and it took me and my dad over an hour to find a way to fit it in the car! I nearly gave up...
