Made a bit of progress on the Blackfoot today, only waiting on new front wheels to finish build. Also waiting on stickers from MCI, they were posted out a couple of weeks ago, has anyone in the UK received orders from them recently?

Have managed to get a few things together and get the Blackfoot mostly put back together. I decided to go replace the old manual speed controller with an ESC. Switch cable was really short so have taken away both the resistor and the switch holder piece. Just waiting on stickers from MCI, and front wheels which were last seen in Chicago. Great to have it back up and running after all this time 🙂

Only had a few finishing touches to do to the cockpit, stickers supplied with the integrale kit make all the difference. Can finally get going on my Blackfoot project

Finished the stickers on this (on a TT02 chassis) a lot of work but worth it. Next job is to finish the cockpit

Thanks, look forward to seeing more pics on your Blackfoot too 😊

Have given the body a bit of a spruce up. Filled worst of scratches. Wet sanded and painted - not perfect but I’m happy. Have decided to build a rere kit to preserve the vintage model to be an occasional runner. Sunroof needs re-fixing and Ramblin’ Ron needs repainted - next job on the list

Hi, if you want to completely remove the chrome finish then thick household bleach will remove it in a few minutes. Just place the bits in a plastic container and add enough bleach to cover the parts. Virtually no scrubbing required. Then just rinse well with plenty of water and your good to go for sanding, priming and painting.

Thanks for the advice, was defo planning to be switching in an ESC! I have been looking at the AMPRO and MPI upgrades and could be tempted! The existing hex drive components aren’t actually in too bad a shape. The idea of buying a whole new rere kit and running it is also very tempting. I’ll post more as the rebuild comes along.

Hi all, new member and first post here. Decided after building a TT02 Lancia Delta Integrale with my daughter that I would get my old Blackfoot out (Christmas present in 1987). Currently stripping down to assess what needs done. Aim to make it a runner so was planning on using re-re parts where needed. Here are a few photos so you can see what I’m working with. All original bar replacement tyres and a fairly dodgy front bumper repair bodge.
