Cooltoy's Blackfoot build with some upgrades

[cooltoys]

Had this one for a while already thought it needed a little restoration & mount all the extra parts that i have collected for a while already..

1st stop the washers..



Had to paint it to make it a little different.





Crp underguard



Polished the speed control piece a little bit

Some more work done...





After assembling the parts i noticed the bumper mount was the wrong one.. It would not fit the blackfoot wheels gap is too small for the tires.. So i took it off again & installed the normal black ones.

Now...this is going to look like a nice restoration!

Well done so far!

That's pretty sweet looking so far. I wanted to build a Blackfoot with those aluminum arms front and rear. They look awesome.

That looks great so far! Those are some hard to find parts you got there. I will be watching this one.

VERY nice

Can't wait to see what the final product will look like!

Personally, I am a HUGE fan of the Monster Beetles (I have two of them) but am waiting for the day Tamiya re-releases it as well the Blackfoot. C'MON TAMIYA!

Keep up the awesome work!

Thanks... When i first saw the rear arms i didn't really liked it for some reason maybe looked plain & skinny? When it was installed that is the time i appreciated it..

Lucky i bought them before.. They should be out hopefully sometime again soon...
