I like those tires

Not sure I had it out last year at all honestly.. I used them in the winter of 2012/2013, but got disappointed due to the open Diff I have 3 in various stages.. the Blackfoot 4x4, my son has a Dual Hunter and my daughter has a Blackfoot with Parma Beetle body.. her si next to be converted to 4wd I just installed a set of Traxxas shocks rear has white springs and front is red and have no clue which is stiffer anyway a quick pic of it on pavement It needs a wheelie bar, I flipped it a couple times

I still have the chevy, but with my work and kids schedules it just sits

yeah I thought for a few days between the GT2B, GT3B, and GT3C. I have limited extra funds to use for this and other things so as a balance I went with the GT3B. the GT3C is very nice but my concern is that in 10 years if the battery pack is bad will I be able to find a replacement.. I don't use the cars that much so I felt that for the 3B would be fine.. Besides I get 40 AA batteries for about $8 from Zeus Battery

I bought a FS-GT3B off of eBay.. once it arrives it will be my radio to use and my daughter will get the TQi

How are you guys liking the Flysky.. I am torn between a GT3B/GT3C, GT2B or even a TQI 3 channel

I heard the GT3C also has the interchangeable grip.. I have seen good prices on the GT3B and GT3C. The GT2B Is a nice unit especially with the battery pack included (like the GT3C) but for the price you spend a small amount more and get the 3B or 3C.. Hmmm they are all nice

Is your GT3B hacked? or stock form? I have a Traxxas TQI Controller, but my son wants it so he can get the dock for his iPod.. so I might switch to the GT3B. But heard the hacked firmware makes the Flysky better

I like the stance you have on that truck now.. I need to do that.. but I don't really want 4WS.. HMM

Thanks for the info on the dog bones.. Makes me think about doing that to my clodfoot and adding 4ws maybe.

what Dog Bones shafts are you using for that? I assume the track is wider then the TL01? Are you uses the TL01 rear arms with steering?

what was your final decision on the wheel base? are you using the TL01 arms all the way around or?

Info for the Drive cups and hexes: the Longer hex drives are from the TL01 Toe in kit (Tamiya 53345)I had bought 2 kits for my son's Dualhunter and my BFX. I have the Toe in cups on my truck and used all of the hexes on my truck as well The Drive cups are from a WW2.. I purchased Tamiya 9415592 that gave me the drive cups and the Dog Bones/Axles.. I thought of the wider stance with the TL01 like you posted but then I was unsure I could get Drive shafts/Dog bones in the correct length. Here is a head on shot to show the width. I just drove it in the snow this weekend and was an epic fail as the rear diff is not locked.. I am thinking of doing that or adding some thick grease to see if it improves for traction

Looks awesome.. I did the same thing.. well close.. TL01 Arms, with the longer hexes and drive stubs: I then fitted the WW2 Rear wheels.. my BFX is 4wd with a Clod body.

Lee, Cool Project.. I have 3 of these Chassis'1- Dual Hunter -Stock and my Son's2- Blackfoot Extremes, One is Modded 4wd and mine, the other is still 2wd and in pieces for my Daughter, I should just make it 4wd and be done too.. LOL Sounds cool with the Crawler setup, I think the 4WS will be cool too, I have thought of that for mine..

I cannot wait to be feeling good enough to take it out in the cold.. I just wish there was some snow to run it in

With the 2.2 BF Tires now with WW2 Tires..

WW2 wheels on my Blackfoot.. I think they look a bit better.. if I trim the rear of the front fenders I can drop the body further otherwise the tire will rub if the suspension is fully compressed in a tight turn

Color is Pactra Metallic Burgundy

I don't remember the exact color but I will try to check tonight.. thanks for the tips.. sounds like I would do the Purple first, then Silver then some color for the windows.. I was thinking of Silver for them too honestly, but a smoke color would be cool as well I also see you trimmed back the wing.. that makes sense although the wrap around looks cool as well. I can paint hardbodies without issue.. but this is newer territory

love it.. I always wanted a hotshot as a kid!

Speedy... That looks cool.. my Daughter picked out a dark purple metallic.. I have not had anytime for it lately though.. I was sick and now I have to help my son with his Pinewood car.. plus being cold here I have no real place to paint.. any tips for masking it to paint the motor? I am also tempted to make this 4wd and be done.. That way it is the same as my son's and I know if this one gets stuck and his does not she will be mad.. LOL

My daughter picked out a body and paint.. just need to paint it

Installed: Steering Servo (bought one today) Wheels installed from my BFX I bought Wild Willy 2 Wheels for my Modded BFX, with the smaller Diameter tires I should be able to drop the body a slight bit I still need an ESC and a radio, then a body. I will probably get another Traxxas TQi radio from a guy at work for a good price.. then the ESC and a body and all is good
