my blackfoot

Post by rctenracer »

These are some pics of my blackfoot. It has ALL the vintage crp hop-ups, thorp belt drive , jg suspension mounts, yeah racing shocks and parma spindles. It took two years to find the parts to complete the thorp belt drive. I want to paint the parma f-150 lexan body up as a tamiya F150 ranger just need the decals to complete. I have had this blackfoot since it was nib and over the years have tryied to collect all the hop-ups . I sold the original blackfoot body and rims on ebay (my mistake) : :So I purchased the parma body to replace it . I can't remeber where I purchased the rims and tires .

Now that's what a hopped up blackfoot should look like!!! Nice build...and I really like the fact that this was your truck. I wish I had kept my original cars...

That is one sweet blackfoot. a set of chrome or aluminum wheels would make it pop.

Thosev trannies are really neat! I have one, just haven't figured out how to present it. Thought about putting it into Doug's favorite, a Hot Trick chassis, but the rear mounts won't allow it without some mods to the HT aluminum.

Looks great and I agree, you need some alum wheels to really make it pop.
I am not here cause I am playing photographer and on my mountain bike.
