Blackfoot Rolling Chassis.

[evil2004]

I was supposed to be selling a blackfoot rolling chassis but they haven't got in conatct and i havent got payment so im keeping it, but im in a dilema. Do i:

1) Build another blackfoot

2) Build a blitzer beetle

3) Address you guys as to wether or not the chassis can be converted to a crawler spec type of truck? (No laughing)

4) Sell or trade?

Depends what you mean by 'Crawler Spec'

Converting a 2WD truck into 4WD would probably cost more in parts than a new, purpose built, truck, if it's even possible with the BF gearbox.

I've seen a couple of chain and belt drive conversions, but not a full-on 4WD version

The independent suspension's not really up to much as far as crawling goes either, unless you're looking more at scale trials than rock crawling.

Building a Blackfoot or a MB sounds like a far more cost effective venture

I didn't think it would be a very good crawler. I think i might offer it up for a trade for something different. The only thing thats putting me off another blackfoot or monster beetle is the bodies and the costs of them. I dont know to much about these crawler trucks andi might look at them now. Cheers mate.

Any ideas for it people before i take the leap and offer it up?

A TLT-1 chassis should fit nicely up under the Blackfoot body and make a capable scale crawler. Wyoming's latest scale Land Rover creation is testament to that.
