Tamiya 2016 Blackfoot

[@patrickwayne3701]

I understand so much more now about why my Granddad didn't enjoy my hobby so much as me and my Grandma. He was in the 82nd Airborne in WWII and had dear friends who didn't come home from the Pacific theatre. And I will always remember the Thanksgiving where he made my Mother move her Datsun off the property. Lol. I subbed long ago because of your content around the Jeep/XR311 that was my first RC effort. I was living on base when the REAL XR311 was testing at Ft. Knox KY. I finally got my Granddad to warm up to the hobby with the Blackfoot because he had a Ford F150 in the driveway and I painted the Blackfoot like his truck. He was really got, when he first saw it. I ended up looking after him in his declining years. These toys were a great way for us to bond back then. I always enjoy your posts but this one really hit hard as I lost him in 2016. Bewildering world we're living in today. These bring back such great memories. Thanks Brother

Lovely comment Patrick 😍

[@Houleigan]

Love the Blackfoot! It was my first hobby grade RC! Go for the F150 style, have never seen it done myself.

[@TAMIYALegends]

Excellent thanks buddy 😊👊🏻

[@Tigger0067]

Love the Clod in the back...that is my favorite...IMHO

[@TAMIYALegends]

Excellent 😊😊👊🏻

[@imaginerobots]

My first hobby grade RC. This truck has so much personality in terms of look and drive behavior. About to build the same kit. Also scored an original release off of Ebay. Yes, original Black Foot shocks had no oil. I converted my original Black Foot into a paddle boat back in the 80's for my science class. Wish I kept it but the nostalgia will never die.

[@TAMIYALegends]

Haha fantastic it’s all about the memories and nostalgia my friend 😊😊😊

[@thevectorcave3616]

Just recieved the Honda city turbo wheels, and a ascona 400 rally reproduction body is ordered for my WR-02 chassis . So now is the matter of customize the wheelbase (molding new chassis pieces) and customize some body mounts. A Ascona 400 Rally 2 with the chassis of Wild Willy 2😁

[@IlmarBeekman]

The Blackfoot is THE iconic Tamiya truck imo. It is so indicative of the 80s golden era in its styling. Bridging that scale model appeal and innovative (if quirky) mechanical design. Nothing like it will ever be made again! Loved it then and still love it now. Great job as usual Glenn!

[@TAMIYALegends]

Fantastic comment my friend 🤩👊🏻

[@yellomello71]

Have a lot of fun with this kit. I did mine last year complete in box-art. The car looks so perfect. The black body, the red decals, the yellow wheels, it all fits so perfect and makes it look so fantastic. I've seen a few in silver and I have to say a very nice color scheme too. If I built another one I think it would go silver. And one of my holy grails would be to restore an original one.

[@TAMIYALegends]

Fantastic thanks for watching my friend 😊😊😊

[@renbarturbo]

that’s it i’m getting a blackfoot need one bad i’ve just built a clodbuster cost a bit it’s lifted a inch stretched to 13 inch wheel base and 40mm wider axle mounted servos front and rear hobby wing esc 21t motors and i love it great fun i never even used it in stock form i got most bits from uk monsters great build best i’ve done in over 40 years

[@gazzaswayne2650]

I'd go Ford Ranger for sure with reflective chrome roll bar. It would look awesome

[@TAMIYALegends]

Excellent thanks buddy 😊

[@Pezzapoo]

Picked one up myself a few weeks back. Was my first RC car back in 1986. Pure class

[@TAMIYALegends]

Fantastic 😊😊🤩

[@alfredyost7972]

Hello Glen, you forgot to mention one really big difference between the original Blackfoot and the re-release truck. The original had the terrible half shafts which just do not work. The re-released Blackfoot has dog bones. This is a very big improvement . I had the Thorp conversion on my original Blackfoot. Thoughts?

[@TAMIYALegends]

Excellent yeah I’d forgotten about that, thanks for sharing this with us my friend 😊👊🏻

[@mattallica0]

I love the Blackfoot it was my first hobby grade RC, ive owned/built many of them over the years

[@TAMIYALegends]

Fantastic my friend 🤩👊🏻

[@IowaBudgetRCBashers]

I’ve gotta get a Blackfoot before they dry up. I had one as a kid. One of my favorite monster trucks

[@TAMIYALegends]

Excellent 😎👊🏻

[@DimDeadBoyMusic]

I love the look of the Ranger, so that would be my vote. Maybe go with aftermarket alloy wheels and roll bar? I've never really cared for white plastic on things like the roll bar/bumpers (it's less of an issue for me with wheels though). It always looks like unpainted plastic to me. The stock Bruiser is a big offender in this category.

[@TAMIYALegends]

Excellent thanks for your feedback my friend 😊👊🏻

Ranger box art colour on the blackfoot chassis is a win for me Keith 👍

Hi Glenn! Yes!! the Ford ranger box art would be really awsome or a Gulf racing blue paint with Gulf racing decals and a couple of Ford decals on. Maybe white,black or aluminium finish on the wheels and of course the tire decals. Cant wait for the build video!!

I got me the Tamiya 2016 Blackfoot Re-Release last week. I had a few blackfoots years ago. I also have an original Tamiya Blackfoot Xtreme, but it needs restored. 😎

[@TAMIYALegends]

Fantastic someone in the comments said it’s now been discontinued 😅👊🏻

[@StansRCVehicles]

Oh wow I didn't realize that. Glad I bought one last week, it is still sealed in the box. I haven't opened it yet.

[@clintcollins6540]

In my opinion the Blackfoot is and always has been the best looking model of all time, and the SRB Ranger is Tamiya royalty. I don't think you can go wrong with either route. I've always had an affinity for old Ford's, both scale and 1:1. The last original body I got ahold of I ended up just black and i added the details. It's now on a modified Team Associated CR12 and is my favorite rock crawler in my collection.

[@TAMIYALegends]

Fantastic my friend 😎👊🏻

[@ukultimaterc]

Look amazing as a Ranger. Go for it.

[@TAMIYALegends]

Thanks buddy 😊

[@trevorcourt1403]

yh definitely go for it would look fantastic

[@garethjackson9563]

I'm not the first or the last to pay homage to the Ranger on a Bigfoot kit but let me say just do it :-) Bear in mind that painting the wheels white (if you decide to) is a nightmare because painting over yellow always is. Don't use Tamiya spray cans or it'll bankrupt you! Here's a tip for painting the grill and apologies to everyone if this is common knowledge. Before fitting it to the body lay it flat on the bench and use a pipette charged with your paint of choice (I used XF-1) and very very gently squeeze it into one corner and allow it to flow around. Obviously I can't post a photo of my model to show you but trust me it works. Keep up the good work fella!

[@TAMIYALegends]

Great information Gareth 😊👊🏻

[@billcox87]

The Blackfoot is awesome brother!!! I love mine so much that i couldn't stop running it soooo........ lol....i had to buy one for the shelf and did it in yellow and red, pretty much box art except the body is yellow. Looks fantastic!!

[@TAMIYALegends]

Fantastic I think that shell looks great in yellow 🤩👊🏻

[@andrewmagro7703]

Black Foot yes what a beast for a monster truck and Boxart is nice for sure but ford ranger also would be really cool , when i do mine i may go boxart but with a slight change to the wheels , i may go black on the wheels for something different , and yes its true about the FallGuy being done to the hilt but done properly comes up a treat , great video as always glen and digressing is way cool too watching those thoughts go through and then shared with us all is super cool and makes for a better video imo, cheers again my friend :-)

Thank you my friend 🤩👊🏻

Also have a lifed/extended SCX10 sat under a Clodbuster shell I call it my mini Clod. Also have an old Blackfoot shell on a CC01 chassis that's gonna be my Ford Ranger looky likey.

Great minds think alike !! I'm Currently building the same project as you !! I've still got my original Ranger SRB that I put a Toyota 4x4 roll bar on back in the '80s - yes they are the same as the black foot one utilised years later. The wheel arches have different sizes between the original F150 Ranger and the blackfoot but I'm sure you know this. I have a couple of blackfoot body sets, one of which I want to fo in bronze metallic with original decals. Still loving your channel, I'll message you a picture of my ranger idea. Regards Ian

Definitely like the idea of Bob Chandlers Bigfoot. It was a beauty of a truck and the colour would look amazing on the Blackfoot rere shell.

Well Glenn I'm like u that thinks box art on the blackfoot is amazing,so when u said u mite try something different I was like 😱,but when u put the pic up of the blue and white Ranger I could 100%say that it would look awesome like that, I've got a funny feeling that this could b one of your all time greatest creations tbh,I can't wait to see it,the white wheels and tyre writing will look stunning on it 💯👊🇬🇧

This was the second Rc I ever built and it was a big step up from a Lunch box.

[@kashmurray1199]

I love black and red. And love chrome. I would have to do the roll bar and wheels chrome. Or red wheels. Hard to decide honestly. I did 2 Clods years ago with after market chassies. They were nice. But not satisfied. If I did it again, I would keep it original with few hop ups. After market parts are so much better now. Yep, a grand would be easy to spend.

Yeah had a few MK1s over the years! But recently having a full King Blackfoot chassis bought a re-re body so with many sticker sheets and a partial original sticker set recreated a blackfoot!

[@peterwebster3076]

hi glen i remember back in the day buying and building the original clod and blackfoot i brought together from the awesome jim davis models in bham uk and regretted selling both trucks ever since although i have big plans to heavily mod my new rere clod soon

[@TAMIYALegends]

Excellent that should be an awesome project Peter 🤩👊🏻

[@RR-ho5ek]

The ford ranger sounds good with a silver light bar, I haven't really seen a blue blackfoot. I did a clod a while back with a gecko rock crawling chassis I bought, used on ebay, and added hot racing aluminum gearboxes I found for a good price. It was my first 4 link suspension and it taught me a lot. It is very heavy, but it looks great in all aluminum.

[@TAMIYALegends]

Fantastic thanks for watching my friend 😊👊🏻

[@ottodob]

I painted my re-re body blue, the wheels white, and the roll bar silver. I used MCI OG blackfoot decals, however. Looks really nice IMO.

[@TAMIYALegends]

Excellent thanks buddy 😊

So glad you are building one. That is a hard decision to make between the two bodies. At the end of the day, either would look epic. But for me, I would have to do the Black Foot body because I never had one and always wanted one as a child. 👍

Hi Glenn, Go with the Blackfoot decals but get some from MCI and change the colours to the ford ranger colours. That way it’s box art ish but different. Would look cool with the red decals swapped to white and the body in the light blue.

Hi Glenn, This is an iconic Tamiya RC, but it's always interesting to do something a little different.... On RCingabout I've built a few different versions. (1) an original Blackfoot (2) a custom U-Haul truck named the RC-Haul !!! (3) the latest custom project a Baja Ford Pickup... with a homage Ford F150 paint scheme. I would be honoured if you would want to include some images of these in an update of your build series on your Blackfoot. Take Care, Best David

Was just thinking : Candy red metallic body with custom colored decals from MCI. Red to White, White to Black, Yellow to Silver on the decals. not sure about the blue but maybe Silver there as well or Orange. And then White or Chrome wheels and roll bars. 😎👍👍

[@TAMIYALegends]

Yeah that sounds yummy 😋

[@wayneyates700]

Glenn I to often speak spanglish and on a daily basis🤣😁. Love the Blackfoot, a friend had one and was a genius at setup with both his buggies (other was a Schumacher cougar I think but it was raced), so it handled like it was on rails. My brother had the monster beetle (very similar) handled like most old Tamiya monster trucks🫣. Are friend never did tell us his secrets on setup so👎 to him lol. I think the ford ranger graphics would look sweet in original white and blue or white and 🤔red green, yellow black or any other colour. I'm very intrigued to see what you choose endless possibilities on this one, maybe even two shell's 👍👊👍

[@TAMIYALegends]

Fantastic thanks Wayne 🤩👊🏻

[@ministrone]

I think the Blackfoots red chassis might clash with the blue on the ranger body. If you use frog grey chassis rails, I’m sure a ranger colour scheme would look cool.

[@TAMIYALegends]

Yeah I think I’d paint it black if I go that route 😊👊🏻

[@richardlingham9400]

Just an idea but keep the standard kit but go way over the top with chrome. Wheels, roll bar, leds in all lights and paint the chassis and screws black to make the chrome pop all the more. Plus paint the body with a metallic flake black. Hopefully you would end up with a “what is that?” Talking point for in the cabinets. Just an idea

[@TAMIYALegends]

[@traxxasfans]

Just been looking at the Ford Ranger images on the web and I think it would look great. But I might put chrome wheels on it . Tamiya seem to have made a race version of the Ranger and they put chrome wheels on it and maybe match it with a chrome roll bar. .

[@TAMIYALegends]

Cool 😎

[@Paul__FC]

I had slapped stickers straight on the body but if I could go back I would have done the highest quality paint job I could have. A real 1:1 truck would of had sweet paint work. Then clear coat over the stickers as well.

Thanks Paul 😊👊🏻

[@johnrobertgordon]

You can purchase a 3d printed grille insert to match the proper F150 grille which was changed when tamiya did the re-release without the Ford licence. Would work which ever way you decide to go. Also, its your hobby and your truck. Go which ever way makes you happiest, other people's opinion don't matter. Own it!

[@hondofourfivetwo9347]

I always regretted selling off an Original BlackFoot I had for a minute, I had gotten it in exchange from a fellow racer for helping him sort out and break-in a new Nitro car. The BlackFoot was a little rough but otherwise complete and original I played with it for a bit then I ended up doing a whole Thorp diff and axles (expensive upgrade back then) only to sell it off afterwards 🤦‍♂️ “The Fall Guy” Truck is a GMC fleetside long bed not a Ford step side BTW and definitely over done 😂👍🏽 I’d say do a variation on the Ranger just invert the colors making the truck & wheels white with blue decals or (and this is how mine was painted) Dark Gunmetal (almost metallic black) with the stock original BlackFoot decals and chrome wheels

I got an OG lunchbox at a yard sale years ago and still dont know what I wanna do with it.. what im looking for now is one of those department store "flip" stunt" cars. that steer like a bulldozer and can run upside down.

Excellent thanks for watching buddy 😊👊🏻

You could do a metallic blue one like the og Big Foot monster truck.

[@TAMIYALegends]

Yeah very cool colour 🤩

I love the Blackfoot 😍 though I'd still do a fall guy version cause Heather Thomas in a bikini 😜😍

Do a box art body, get another body and do the ranger, would love to see that ranger body

Thanks Mike 😊

Love the ranger idea……chrome wheels though?

[@TAMIYALegends]

Yeah don’t think Tamiya did them but I’m pretty sure you can get chrome alloy ones 😅👊🏻
