I agree completely that a Blackfoot has always intrigued me. Especially after I watched one zipping around on my R/C Wheels VHS! I never got one though. I began with a Clodbuster and then skipped ahead to a Jrx-T. Actually most, if not all, the Tamiya monster truck vehicles have looked cool. Buggies too, for that matter. I guess the grass is just always greener... This is a nice looking project!

If you get it running and build a trailer for it you can use it as a shop truck....The best of both worlds...

Yup that one.. You should get one of those since you have the other parts to connect it already. It will make the chassis stiffer hence the name chassis stiffener Lol..

Just checked your pics again you will need a few more parts to complete the chassis brace. There is a bracket needed to that sits at the back tower area.
