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
Nice,
got one in the mail too. I will not be going full out with tuning (yet) but wanted to go in the direction of a crawler with 2 ESCs, 2x 55T and front rear steering (crab and so) and try do axle lockout with my FS GT3B.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

What Chicago burbs are you fellas in?

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
got one in the mail too. I will not be going full out with tuning (yet) but wanted to go in the direction of a crawler with 2 ESCs, 2x 55T and front rear steering (crab and so) and try do axle lockout with my FS GT3B.
