Help Identify this Blackfoot/Monster beetle part
I got a Blackfoot off EBay and it came with these axle carriers. Can someone help me identify them.

That was my first impression too but I just wanted to make sure. Looks to be cut from a block of delrin. If it is home made, he did a good job.

They seem pretty beefy. I'm going to use them on my Monster Beetle!

No way! I have never seen them before but if more than one exist maybe they were production. They do look tuff

Re: Help Identify this Blackfoot/Monster beetle part
They are not homemade. I have a set on my Monster Beetle and my Black Foot. IIRC, they were made by MRP, or possibly even Race Prep now that I think of it. The old steering arms would break so easily while racing. The nylon ones are bullet proof.squirrelnutz wrote:They seem pretty beefy. I'm going to use them on my Monster Beetle!

Over the years I've had a few Blackfoots come and go that had them and I never gave it too much thought until now... I always thought it was just a popular and easy modification to do. I never considered they were actually manufactured by a company.

I've also got a pair laying around here. I always thought they were homemade too!
