Your challenge is to convince me in as many or as little words as you like that this is a "Vintage Tamiya Blackfoot" I look forward to you proposals Andy

It's a period "Hot Trick" chassis conversion, with a period Team CRP bumper & wheel doubler kit. It's also hideously ugly

The chassis kit is worth quite a bit, but nothing like the asking price.


edit - Nice RC10 alloy rims on the trailer too.

Ahh that explains this then
I don't believe that they were ever available in New Zealand or I just never saw 1?

I still don'tlook at them and say "hey nice vintage BF"

These trucks are on the bay since some monthes

Had an interested look at the first ad - yeah, it's awful, mods have been done by a caravan/boat owner by the look of it.
1st thought was "Don't fancy the gearbox's chances with the weight of those wheels attached", second thought was "the flexy rear arms + wheel weight will cause driveshaft problems". Then I noticed there were no driveshafts... then I read the ad, & "Display only, Gearbox needs attention". I could've told him that before he broke it...

Check out the "weatherboard-style" motor mount/spacers!
Break it up & sell the wheels & shocks I say...

That's hideous.

Looks like a home-made jobby built out of Meccano.

HI!... More AE RC-10 parts on it then anything else :
- Antenna holder
- body mount posts
- trailer wheels
- shocks
- steering linkage
- steering linkage nuts (RC-10 wheel spinners)

Yes, a great steaming pile of jobbies in fact
