Tamiya WT-01 Blackfoot III XB vs Tamiya WT-01 Mighty Bull XB: Tamiya Monster Truck Beach Run!

[@RCWilderness]

I've never really considered any of the newer Blacfoots but I like how this one looks in the video.

[@NordicRC]

Yeah, well, apart from the fact that the wheelbase of the body and chassis is a better match on the earlier Blackfoots … it’s still a cool looking Blackfoot.

[@Remoteaddicted]

Great slow motion bashing with the great Mighty Bull and Blackfoot 3 👍

[@NordicRC]

Thank you very much! They make a cute couple, modern and classic :-)

[@mrjesperklausen]

Great video. Prefer the BF body, but both trucks look great. I like the part where the Mighty bull is shot from behind, and you just see Tamiya all over the rear of the truck, driving in slowmo towards the water, looks amazing.

[@NordicRC]

Jesper Klausen Thanks, Jesper! Yeah, that Ford body mounted on a monster truck chassis is really pleasing to the eyes. It bugs me a little though, that the wheelbase isn't a perfect match. Fits better on the original ORV which is shorter. The Mighty Bull has a perfect match. Thanks, Yeah, I like that shot. Must try to do more of these kinda shots. Both the Mighty Bull and Blackfoot III have this decal on the rear. It looks great!

[@NordicRC]

It's so cool that you've started to spend a little time on youtube! When are we going to get a full video Tour of your Kyosho/Tamiya collection? ;-)

[@cwatson42785]

LOVE those mighty bull wheels! The white looks siiicckk!

[@NordicRC]

Love those too! Especially mounted on my Blackfoot 3. Gonna build a Dual Hunter later this year with the white wheels. Gonna look good :-) Thank for watching.

[@ShenRC]

great trucks, Nice run!

[@NordicRC]

Thanks, Steve!

[@hollyhillrc]

Great comparison video. I really like the old school Blackfoot body. TUp :)

[@NordicRC]

Thanks, Derek! Yeah, I do too, that body really is a classic and a beauty.

[@trxmh]

Great tamiya rc videos! subbed :)

[@NordicRC]

trxmh Thank you very much! Glad to have you here and thanks for the support!

[@uncletom1971]

Really great slow-mo filming there.

[@NordicRC]

Thank you very much, Tomas! I remember this day at the beach. I had a lot of fun filming :-)

[@PeteWylieRC]

Nice one. Obviously the Blackfoot looks much more impressive but like you say it's good to have one for bashing about on hard surfaces without worrying. I sort of wish I'd got a Blackfoot III when they were selling them off quite cheap but like we discussed before, there isn't space or money for everything ! :-)

[@NordicRC]

Thanks, Pete! Yeah, the Tamiya addiction is a difficult one to deal with, now that there are so many models and there's always a dealer somewhere with a good offer, so we must fight it sometimes, unless we want to drown in models :-)

[@PeteWylieRC]

Ha, drowning in RC models is how I want to go !

[@NordicRC]

He he, that would certainly be a good way to go. The only problem is that I don't think my family want to drown in RC models too, lol

[@PeteWylieRC]

Also I'm going to request that my coffin gets transported on top of a fleet of Tamiya trucks. Might take a bit of organisation but what a send off ! :-)

[@NordicRC]

Pete Wylie he he, that would be a sight to remember and a good way to end :-)

[@devdrc]

You are Blackfoot 3 is a masterpiece!!!!I love it I just purchased the bush hog version because you actually can't get the three now

[@NordicRC]

Thanks! It’s an XB so Tamiya build it for me :-) Sadly they didn’t paint it before applying the decals, so it’s not that beautiful up close, with the bare plastic. Yeah, a few WT-01s remain on the market but the BF3 seems to have gone out of production and stock all around the world ... sadly. Still, the Blackfoot/Super Blackfoot body and body parts are still available and so are the BF3 decals. So it still is possible to build a brand new Blackfoot 3.

[@devdrc]

Nordic RC Visions yes, I have tried to look for the decals but have had no luck, can you tell me where to find those? That would be awesome!

[@devdrc]

Nordic RC Visions I also just purchased and found a RTR lunchbox!!

[@RCTeamAustria]

great run =)

[@NordicRC]

Thanks, RC Team Austria!

[@tgreenm]

Cool monsters. :-D

[@NordicRC]

The Green Man Thanks! Yeah, cute little monsters :-)

[@zigzag5805]

the blackfoot dose seem to have more ground clearance . and personally I think you were getting more fun with your blackfoot . just bought 2016 re re blackfoot to bulid over Christmas holiday . a present from me to me . lol

[@NordicRC]

Nice! Would love the re-re one day, but I’ve had a lot of fun with the Monster Beetle re-re. Both models here have the exact same WT-01 chassis and ground clearance so performance is similar. The body sits higher on the BF3 though.

[@kazacorpora]

great run , i sub

[@NordicRC]

Thank you very much and welcome on board!

[@flashhobbies]

nice video

[@NordicRC]

Flash Hobbies Thanks!

[@scottmills2627]

Nice work man is the chassis the same as the twin dagger but with one motor If so my dagger is getting a Blackfoot shel

[@NordicRC]

Thanks, Scott! Yeah, the WT-01 is based on the WR-01 (like the Wild Dagger, Twin Detonator). Basically, like you say, just a rear wheel drive WR-01 with one motor/gearbox. The Blackfoot body is a bit too short for it, but I guess Tamiya thought it was a minor detail when doing the BF3. Still looks okay in my opinion :-)

[@martinneps9387]

The Blackfoot truck seems like you could have more fun with it because you to hire truck so you can no go over different things where the other truck is too low To the ground

[@NordicRC]

Hi Martin. They have the same ground clearance. The Blackfoot body is just mounted higher (a bit more top heavy too with the hard body).

[@martineps6223]

I want to buy the black foot is it for sale

[@NordicRC]

No sorry. This one's a keeper :-)

[@devilicous]

the mighty bull front tire are mounted backwards. might perform better if the chevron pattern were running true. other than that love your vids

[@NordicRC]

Nice catch! Oh no you're right! Didn't notice that before now, but now, after you pointed it out, it's obvious. I had all wheels off for the transportation to the beach and I guess I mounted them a bit too quickly. Quite amazing I didn't notice it before now. At least I got the Blackfoot III's wheels right it looks like lol. Yeah, performance wise I don't think it matters much with 10-15 km/h and RWD. Good thing I got the rear wheels right :-) Thanks for the comment and the compliment, devilicous.

[@devilicous]

well with my own experience on my lunchbox, it doesn't matter much, but with the tread backwards it would push a little more as the tread couldn't bite quite right. but yeah not as important than on a 4wd.

[@NordicRC]

I agree. Just re-watched the video. It certainly looks very weird now that I can see it! :-) Didn't even notice it when I edited. I must be blind sometimes. Just like the axle stay screws in The Hornet Build. Well, if I remember correctly all WT-01s have the same wheels, front and rear. So 12 mm Hex all the way. A leftover from the WR-01 (4WD) that it is based upon.

[@yinyang9249]

cool video very bad spot to run them

[@NordicRC]

Thanks, Yin Yang. Sometimes when making videos having sand is great for slow motion. But yes, for running only, this particular beach wasn't that much fun with 1/10 2WD trucks :-)

[@BadEnglishDan]

Thats stock?

[@NordicRC]

Heavy RC Studio Hi! Yeah, Both are bone-stock XB models.

[@xismxist]

Stock vs stock i have a feeling that the blackfoot was a bit faster, the grey endbell johnson motor in the mighty bull is a bit slowish

[@Artificial_Dopamine]

Old school bull won that!

[@NordicRC]

He he, I love them both :-) Thank a lot for watching, Yeah Right!
