I used to have ( and will again shortly) an original blackfoot way back, but got out of the hobby before the other versions were out. I've seen the super, king,and extreme/III here n there-(dont care too much for the III myself) But i dont know how to tell a Super BF from a King BF. the pics i've seen appear to be the same. I know they changed the gearbox and put different suspension on the rear, but asside from the stickers on the bodies ( those with them), i cant tell the difference. Can someone help me out?

Original blackfoot is frog based and used a ford 1980-1986 f150 step side

Super blackfoot used the orv frame but rear suspension and gearbox are different. Front suspension looks similar but uses longer front arms. Body same as original but with a billet grill and deleted ford emblem on tailgate

King blackfoot has SBF rear end but all new front suspension. The body is a 1992-1996 ford F150

Blackfoot extreme uses a wild dagger chassis.

thanks

I finally found some pics, if anyone else was wondering(these are pics i found, not my own)

here are the SBF front arms



here is the KBF

I apologize if this is off topic, but was wondering... I had seen those other iterations of suspension, and thought How about throwing that rear end (and front for that matter) on a frog. Seems like it'd be a cool setup for a classics/plastic chassis winner. No/Yes/ Maybe?

Crossed my mind as well. found this in an old thread, but i cant read it but it looks totally bad a$$!
