The Knight

Sry guys for the long break. I've forgotten my thread and don't drive so much with the truck.... till this year. Now I love the truck. I've changed a lot of details, so it drives much better than in "prototype" phase. Changes: - new Parma Bigfoot body shell, lower 10-15mm - 20T steel pinion - harded Tamiya diff - locked diff - rear harder springs - HPI Mud Thraser tires The 4300kv 9T motor works fast. Will be warm but not hot. Drives fast for this classic chassis, I think. Feedback: - I never buy Parma bodies and bodies with .3 thickness. After one crash it brokes on another point. I need duck tape on every site. It's not recommended for a monster truck. Too thin. - the harded diffs are not much better than stock. Next time I want to use GPM steel diffs. - all in all no fractions, chassis still stabil and no damages. - HPI mud thrashers glue on blacktop/tarmac very good. But they don't like lose underground and littles. They made burnouts (on 2WD). - locked diff is an improvement. the truck do not oversteer so much, less 50%. Without locked diff, the truck drives in a circle on start, especially on lose underground. Some nice youtube videos: We will see what happens in enxt future...

Or stock Blazing Star rear arms: #0005378 ...same size. http://www.modellbau-seidel.de/index.php?firma=Tamiya&best=0005378

Have anyone an DF-03 at home? The suspenion arms looks longer on pictures. 5-10mm. Could anyone measure it? Part #51252

Thanks a lot!

Hi guys. If you also want the incredible alloy chassis, it's available again. https://www.ebay-kleinanzeigen.de/s-anzeige/aluminium-chassis-fuer-tamiya-wild-dagger-twin-detonator-usw/453037779-249-3262 It's from germany. It's possible that the manufacterer would send it to EU or worldwide. Not cheap, but the best tuning part for WR/WT-01 Write him a message. PS: Latest video of the truck:

Oh wow, I havn't seen, that page is still active. Wow I have written an Email to this guy. ;( check!

There so much dogbones on after market...from 10.000 other trucks and manufacterers. You only must look on ebay.

No, this guy havn't noticed what's this for arms. And it's from 2002 Bit tooooo old.

I'm searching very long suspension arms for the TL01 or Wild Dagger Chassis. I know I could use rear arms from WIld Dagger as front arms. But which one for rear? I also know I could use Super Blackfoot Axles for wheel wideners but I need longer arms for rear. Have anyone seen such long arms?

After one year I searching for a little review. Tires are good? Could someone make a grip comparison between rc4wd B&H and Pro-LIne Destroyer tires?

I wish a King blackfoot re-release. I need some spare parts

german seller tamico.de says: presentation of blackfoot 2016 will be later this year... they are present on the spielwarenmesse nuernberg.

yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeees! :D 2017 Mud Blaster re-release?!

A clod re-release or King Clod would be nice. Chassis nee some mini changes I think. So the could also offer new colors of chassis and bumpers/socks.

No one use an alternative pinion?

Which dimension have this pinion? It could be replaced by after market pinions or not?

Which pinion do I need for the old King Blackfoot? I want to install a 15/16T brushless Kit, but I'm missing a suitable pinion.

Is the wheel adapter a hex 12mm? Which dimension do the tires have?

I'm interested to know which experience other drivers got. So today I started a little test. After rainy day I use my BF3 to test the tires. It's not a fair test because the Mud Thraser are empty inside and the Masher 2000 have very soft foams inside and weights. The Masher 2000 I use for my SCX10, the rubber is very soft and non-slip. But they are not so big and looks not scale for a real Monster Truck. After my test I can say following: - rubber of Mud Thrashers are not soft, don't need any foams inside - Masher 2k are very soft and need foams - the M2k have more grip, but not with stock foams, stock foams are to hard; the M2k are bit like "glue" on blacktop road and do not throw so many stones into the air - the MT have less grip, but can much better drift ; throw many stones into the air (on pebbled bottom) I would say the M2k are better if you want grip but the MT are not really worse. I would recommend the MT. The two tires are all terrain suitable. So I think, if you say the Tamiya Brusier tires are to hard and have not enough grip I don't buy them. Other guys eperience?

Ever tried Masher 200 and Wheely King Tires?

****! the alloy gearboxes looks so awesome. There are only some units produced. I never got these gearboxes. I also see, you have the old and the new version of the alloy chassis. Do you got it from germany?

Anyone who used the 2.2'' tires from Bruiser? http://www.tamiyausa.com/product/item.php?product-id=9401968 Good grip? Some Experience? I need some new tires for my truck and these tires are cheap. But never have ones in my hands to test it.

Possible Blackfoot re-release? :o :o

Second test run. I've changed the springs and the truck runs more stable. That's good. But my Bigfoot fells on the roof and the flagpole gone broken. Also got some scratches. So let's look on the chassis. I only us the parts which I really need, so I cutted some parts. The truck lose a bit weight. The EZrun 9T combo is a very good and fast machine! Evil, on flat (clean) asphalt it drives like a rocket. 1a acceleration! The hole for nimh battery I've extended a lot. So the lipo fits perfect. See you later!

Good news! Some days before I've made the first test run. Yes, it drives! :> The Ezrun is my first brushless kit and I must say it's not easy to steer this machine. It's fast but bit too fast! I can't drive at full speed, to big stones on my way and not enough place at my gravel pit. I must improve some settings, it's not perfect. I test it next time again. Here some pictures:
