What is the max range?

What's the equivalent to a 12T Brushed in Brushless?

man what a flashback this brought me, i loved my blackfoot!!!

Chain shouldn’t be tight mate

Cool 🔵🔵🔵🙂🙂🙂👍👍👍🔵🔵🔵

faut pas sauter ça casse les triangles avant par experience

I just came across this video ... Subscribed!!!

Sounds great, thanks for sharing this

Absolutely beautiful!

That thing runs so awesome!!!

Hello fellow heli pilot, any idea where I can get a used 550?

I grew up with this. It was a lot of fun when you had others in the neighborhood with them also. I raced mine against the Monster Beetle, the Lunch Box, and the Magic Pumpkin. The 80s gave me a pretty awesome childhood.

Mine also has a cracked fin like that 😂

I have the same, but i couldnt fly the way you do.makes me wanna test it again after 4 yrs

Great simple video. Thank you

I just got a Gemini and a Nimbus to build over the winter. I cant wait for next season to start. You fly exactly how I aspire. Just fun looking!

As a child growing up in the 80s - this thing went 60 mph! In my child mind, of course. 😂😂😂

13:39 AFTTTTTEEEERRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!! Still looking so good in 2024. IMHO Monster Pickups are the ultimate RC cars cause they look SO GOOD and plus they have big sexy « bootyres » with huge suspension travel which is so pleasing to touch and watch working………. Let’s be honest, grabbing/squeezing big soft tires and suspensions is a very similar pleasure than grabbing my wife’s b……OK ok I calm down.

I must buy another one of these. My dad had one when I was a kid but gave it away to his mate after buying a Nikko SuperSprint 😞

The mechanical speed controller will eventually burn out, but who cares just put an upgraded and it’ll never burn out. Awesome find I would definitely buy that ❤👍👍😎

Making one 2024

What screw is it? 2mm hex?

I just put a 17.5 hobbywing xrunner 19T pinion 87spur 48p. Thing runs like a wet dream on 2s with the old 6gear tranny.

I had the same truck when I was a kid. It looks a lot better than mine did.

Wow, an electronic speed control with reverse! What will they think of next! Especially impressive that you've got the original stock steering linkages, arms, shocks and I assume gearbox config? Such a classic!

Stupid question.. I have a Savage 21 and I need to order new diffs. Are they the same as the 25 and the X??

Amazing find!!!! A friend of my family had a Tamiya Blackfoot in the summer of 1989 and it was so quick that everyone who saw it said wow and/or that truck is fast!! I don't think we would have been impressed like that if it ran like this. Were their better motor options like a brushless in 1989/1990 to make this truck faster back then? I'd love to know what he could have done to make his Blackfoot so fast? I wish I could remember what he said he did to it? It was so long ago.

Just obtained a FW-190D. I found it to be very fast and reasonably stable. It was rather twitchy on aileron so I added a bit of 'up' to each aileron to give it some washout; which helped some. Also, I modified it to have rudder control. This is fairly easy to do by adding a wire bar between the split elevators and using one former elevator rod for the rudder pushrod.

You do realize all that work is not necessary lol the gear comes out with a pliers mate 😂 after you take off the screw lmao

Nice video and driving Really nice video and Car😊

Wow Amazing looking really good 😊

🆒 video, & ℹ️ have 3️⃣ Traxxas Tmaxx 2️⃣.5️⃣ 🤑👍🏼🛻🏁

Great looks and nice high wing trainer

Just curious why the aftermarket carb ? Was the stock one not holding the tune or are the Amazon clone ones running a little better ? Great video

man... when i got mine when i was younger i made the body go from new to old in a day

That looks amazing. Big upgrade.

Can you tell me more about the receiver you used on this? Im just finishing a build of a 1990 - something my dad hoarded away and would never take out of the box and Im finally building it - but turns out finding the right battery, servos and reciever is a bit more difficult than I thought! Initially was going to try to adapt it to a new build style that only has one servo but Im not sure thats going to work - would much rather find the correct parts!

Should I get a slash or a Bigfoot???

Great video , subbed

Awesome !!!

You can't kill a T-maxx. They will always be a staple in the hobby

Beautiful truck. I have 2 , one as a runner and one shelf queen. Both are ‘86 models. The only other things you’re missing is the servo/speed controller dust cover and driver.

Great video . I love the 2.5 tmaxx

You should do maintenance video on your after run since they look so nice when you show them on the shelf

Remove reverse in that truck and it’ll quit doing that jumping thing on idle

You really shouldnt tell people to charge thier lipos on nmhi that will start a fire 🔥!!!! Yes you can charge for a few minutes a lipo on the nimhi setting but never keave it alone and constantly check r heat

thanks for this video, using the drag and hold technique on a completely different vehicle but it's still the easiest way. I guess the surface you drag across will determine how tight your slipper is

What size prop and what engine?

Nice video. I picked up the 35kg for my Granite, and with a Firma 150 ESC, and 7.4 volt BEC, the servo has plenty of power. I think the 35kg servo is pretty decent, but for $2 more you can get the Power Hobby 190MG servo which has the same torque, but the speed is immensely quicker (at 7.4 volt, I don't have any vehicles i run at 6 volt BEC) Also, for anyone that read reviews of the 35kg servo, where the guy says he had to tear down the servo to remove the overly tight o-ring in order to get full torque... That problem has been addressed by 2024 and you'll just waste your time tearing it down like i did. The torque is fine OTB, but I'd still recommend the Power Hobby if you're at all driving on the road, or the track, if speed is important, the power hobby servo is easily 75% faster at 7.4 volts)

Excellent 💥💥💥
