E91: Head To Head 1986 ORV v 2011 WT01 Tamiya Blackfoot, Which Is Quickest ?

[@Dr.Meola1980]

I wish when you do these comparisons instead of doing an obstacle course. Is too much of a chance for human error. I would like to see some sort of drag race it may be a GPS top speed on both vehicles. The only thing that stinks about my suggestion is it doesn't really test their handling. So do both LOL. I like your videos keep up the good work.

[@andyrobinsonrc2480]

Hi Anthony ha ha cheers for the feeds back much appreciated it, I’ll try see if I can do a speed and handling test next time, I don’t have a gps speed meter so handling was the easier option. ;) cheers for watching

[@kennethbossio2489]

I have a 2016 rere. With a MIP ball diff and a Tamiya TZ motor. Makes it a beast !!

[@andyrobinsonrc2480]

Always fancied a Blackfoot with a MIP diff just to see what it’s like 👍

[@johnspencer7291]

i have an original from 1988,thorpe dirt burners diff and dog bones on 3s brushless,its ridiculously fast

[@bradbrown8759]

Cool vid. My first good R/C was the ORV Blackfoot. I think your times were off by driving a stick radio better. The driving seemed smoother. I started on stick, and despite 30 some years with pistols I think I'm still better on a stick.

[@andyrobinsonrc2480]

Yeah I much prefer to use a stick radio set , so when I go racing I always make sure I’ve got my sticks ready ;) cheers for watching

[@renercadventures]

Nice works....👏 really awesome 🥰👏

[@andyrobinsonrc2480]

Thank you , glad you enjoyed it thanks for watching :)

[@DustyFingersRC]

As well as getting the BF III from you, I also picked up an Xtreme. Going to go 4X4 on one or both of them. I like the decals in the OG BF you did. 👍🏼

[@andyrobinsonrc2480]

Hiya, cheers fella. Look forward to seeing the video on them once there ready. The decals I used on the OG BF are ok they aren’t super quality but they were ok for the body I had. Looks ok though from a foot or two away ;)

[@christopherdeguzman1137]

If you want to see which is the quickest why don’t you just put the truck side by side and do a drag race. Honestly, I had both and to me, I prefer the original Blackfoot over the WT-01 Blackfoot Extreme/III.

[@andyrobinsonrc2480]

Cheers Christopher, I thought it was more fun to go round a course rather than just a straight line. I agree, I prefer the original Blackfoot as well, cheers for commenting

[@mattiasrc]

Fun little race. Sound like the Blackfoot lll is slipping in transmission when take of.

[@andyrobinsonrc2480]

What the problem was I’d forgotten to glue the rear tyres to the wheels rims , so when it accelerated hard the rim spun inside the tyre, oops

[@mattiasrc]

Ahh i see.

[@andyrobinsonrc2480]

It’s pretty common on the monster trucks or very hard compound tyres

[@ValleyRC]

I was going to say it sounded like the tyres slipping, that's why it was a bit gentler off the line. Like a clutch lol

[@nomusicrc]

Don't let go of the steering knob to steer

[@andyrobinsonrc2480]

Thanks for the comment and tip :)

[@Nlangkirby135]

I wonder how the Blackfoot iii would improve if it had a 540j 4 slot motor?

[@andyrobinsonrc2480]

Maybe a little quicker Nick? but depends if the extra speed would overcome the hand along issues ?

[@xismxist]

The stock mabuchi silvercan with grey endbell has higher rpm, but the 540J has slightly more torque and since the truck is geared low rpm is what it needs

[@speedy-ew4xz]

Such a iconic rc

[@andyrobinsonrc2480]

Thanks for watching the video hope you enjoyed it

[@BlackThunderRC]

2011 model didn't sound right. Something was slipping. Either axle pin has buggered off or wheel spilling in the tyre. Need to get my bush devil drivable again !

[@andyrobinsonrc2480]

Yeah unfortunately the wheels were spinning inside the tyres on the 2011 Blackfoot

[@homeworkpictureshq]

Cool... Just upload my new Blackfood video

[@andyrobinsonrc2480]

Cool I’ll check it out fella :)

[@AlexWithington]

Just got a brand new 2016 black foot set me back 400nzd but that's not much for tamiya stuff ngl

[@andyrobinsonrc2480]

Hi Alex , that’s great ! Hope you enjoy the build and the truck when it’s finished

[@AlexWithington]

@@andyrobinsonrc2480 finished it just a couple hours runs nice and thanks

[@YOOPDLRC]

Nice 👍😊👍 👍😊👍

[@andyrobinsonrc2480]

Thank you :)

[@ronniecreason7870]

It sounds like black foot 3 gears are Slippin

[@andyrobinsonrc2480]

Hi Ronnie, the problem was I’d forgotten to glue the rear tyres to the wheels rims , so when it accelerated hard, the rim spun inside the tyre, oops

[@longthanly7061]

Good RC trucks 👍 I was stupid to buy a Tamiya Nissan King Cab RC truck (ball-diff ). It is a shit box 😢

[@andyrobinsonrc2480]

Thanks , cheers for watching :) I love the king cab but it does have a week diff but you can convert it to stronger unit.

[@longthanly7061]

@@andyrobinsonrc2480 can you please tell me how to make it better 👍

[@andyrobinsonrc2480]

If you look up ampro engineering on KZbin a guy used team associated gearbox on his. Another way is to fit a super astute gearbox and internalls as the king cab shares the rear end with the astute/super astute , hope that helps a little

[@mikemorton7149]

Original ran better on take off

[@andyrobinsonrc2480]

Hi Mike, yes the original did accelerate better but the tyres hadn’t been glued properly in the Blackfoot III

Cheers , yeah I think I messed up, I can’t count ;)
