Yes Red I did just switch bodies. the frames are the same just different body mounts. The real deal will be the bodies. Beetle is more detailed but wasn't sure on the foam tires fo rit that why I am asking.

That is a tough one- I say Monster Beetle- then down the road do a blackfoot. RC's always need a mate!

I vote Blackfoot. With that body on, it looks done already to me. A nice survivor r/c relic. The Monster Beetle looks like it needs some work. I'd save that body for another project, keep the Blackfoot body on the truck and not change a single thing.

It appears to be 3 - 3. It is true that the blackfoot body is pretty complete and in very nice condition. I am leaning towads the Blackfoot

I think you meant the Clod, and besides the Blackfoot isn't even a true monster truck.
*Blashphemy!*
I vote for the Blackfoot if you're going to use the foams. They look better to me with that body.

When the Blackfoot came out I worked in a hobby shop, a friend of mine had a Ford truck painted Black and Red just like the Blackfoot he bought new. when he saw it he had to have it. I think he love the little truck more than the real one.
