Have a good condition King Blackfoot that I got in 2000 for Christmas. Took it out and got a boat load of part to fix it up and upgrade it. So in love again, what a truck! 😁

I've always like the BF and I had a couple friends who raced them back in the late '80's. If/when someone starts injection-molding or vacuum forming a true 1/10 scale version of this Ford step-side body, I have a new HG-P407 in the box and waiting. Great video as always. Cheers!

Dude! You are the man! I need to have you on my show "Lets Talk RC" that I do on my channel. We are near the same age and grew up with these things back in the 80s and 90s. You were an inspiration for me to get back into this hobby and resurrect my old Tamiya cars. Would love to have a casual convo and go back in time. Let me know if you are down.

Looks great, my friend. Good history it has. So what exactly do you se for the clear coat? And whatever happened to the continuation of the MIP project? Totally cancelled, or will there be more? I know we had a hard time finding support, but I see the MIP super ball diff a lot on videos like this.

Sadly no. they are hard PC ABS. I made some in nylon but they require the body to be modified. ABS ones would be best but at the moment there really is nothing.
