Hello,
As mentionned before, i finally got a Blackfoot. Unfortunately the body appeared to be in a better shape on the seller's pictures ! After a complete clean up of the chassis i put all the parts in a box and decided to start with the body first as there is still lot's to do. At the beginning i wanted to paint it "box art"....But whilst looking for a Blackfoot through internet i saw how good it looks in white with red decals. So i changed my mind, and this one will be white This is how it should be once finished As you can see the body has suffered a bit from the roll overs... Proud owner of the Bruiser Family

Hi Stingray, Thanks for your advice. As far as i can remember i only had to change the diff once since i'm running my "Runner Monster beetle" and this is mainly caused by the technigold motor i have put it in. Of course it hasn't that much running time and besides that this Blackfoot will mainly stay on the shelf and will be driven mainly in-house. Thanks again Proud owner of the Bruiser Family

The body looks like it's basically all there, so with a lot of sanding & filling should look quite good

Mine ran only with a stock 540 and when I bought it, the diff was six feet under . Like crouikkrouikkouik
This problem was recurent on the monster beetle, blackfoot and their children. PS I love in white and in grey. I regret to mount mine in black with a poor blue repro decals sheet. |
