Ok how about this one....

4wd
Solid rear axle w/diff
Front one-way bearings and no diff
Not a pan car

I feel like that might be a Kyosho Fantom, but maybe it counts as a pan car and I don't really know what the diff setup is.

No, not a Fantom or any other on road car

Tough one. I was thinking Bolink Invader, but that was 2wd.

I'll add two hints

The independent front suspension has an upper control link with its inner attatching point on the lower control arm giving it massive camber change like a grasshopper front end.

Motor is above the driveshaft that runs to the front

Is it an old nitro buggy with coloured plastics?

not a buggy, and its electric

Is it the Varicom Big Grizzly 4x4? (I searched a lot of your forum posts and stumbled upon a 6x6 identification...)

This car has a very unique layout, never seen it before.

Yes sir, it's a Grizzly. Stolen pic as it's better than mine

I almost went with "a big bear but not the big bear" but thought that would be giving too much away. It was a crazy design for sure. Once the clod came out it was immediately garbage haha.

Your up sir!

The Grizzly must have never made it to Europe i guess...

Next:

My name may suggest different, but my wheels are yellow.

I grew up in a big family. Although the wheels of my younger brother are chrome, i'm the most extreme among my brothers.

I hope it isn't Optima Mid Custom Special, because if it is, I have to think up the next one and I don't have anything exotic to name.

OK for 1:10 and OK for offroad but no Optima.

The wheels of my older brothers are yellow (not fluo) or red.

Got to be a blackfoot

... more specific please

I hope it's this one, it sounds awesome! They should have called it BlackAwesomeFoot


58058 Blackfoot was the original for which the chassis was named. Released in 1986. Re-released in 2016 as 58633 with minimal changes.

58110 is the Super Blackfoot from 1992. What's the difference between this and the original? What makes it super? From the picture, it appears to have the same body. It is still the Blackfoot chassis but it looks a bit different with vertical rear shocks. Other than that all I can see are spiked tires and new stickers.

58192 King Blackfoot is 5 years later and has a new body. Still listed as Blackfoot chassis but shock towers appear to be strengthened.

58312 Blackfoot Extreme is from 2003. New body with hood scoop. New double motor chassis.

58498 Blackfoot III from 2011. Another new chassis. Appears to use the same body as 58058 and 58110.


Does the Blackfoot Extreme really have 2 motors in a 2wd truck? I haven't found any proof of that.
