Tamiya "BLACKFOOT" (1986)

[THE HP FREAK]

HI!... As lately I have accumulated a lot of Blackfoot parts. So I decided to start to built one the way it would of been back in 1986.

I just ordered a set of NIP roll bars and front windshield. I got the decals on tonight. I'll post some pics later. I still need the black plastic cover that goes over the servos and I need to find a set of original yellow wheels for it.

Nice one.

I'm intending to get a blackfoot body for my MB chassis. My inteneitoen is to have all three, I have fixed up my Beetle body and got hold of a Mud balster body. How did you get the paint off?

HI!... I have a a sand blasting cabinet that was converted to very fine glass bead. Works great on RC plastic.

[nosthevamp]

Sweet. I don't have that option, I've heard Oven pride works well so I'll be giving that a go. To be on the safe side I'll test it on a old driver with half a head.

I've tried this before and it didn't work good, kind of messed up the body, what psi were you using and what grit is the glass bead?

HI!... 45PSI. Fine grit.

HI!... Wow, it's been a REALLY LONG time since I worked on this. But it's pretty much done now, just need to add a vintage receiver.

Could you do me a favour and measure the various sizes of the stabilising bar that goes between the rear body mounts?
