Vanessa's update: ultra marine blue
Ridgeback Racing Team
i bet the white & blue trf decals would look great! the blue & pink ones would look nice too, even though they are a bit girly. but this lunch box is 'vanessa's' after all! ;)

Never used 'blue-chrome' blackfoot wheels
cyclepsych0
thanks! they would look great on a silver or white blackfoot. maybe with a dark KBF chassis! these were purchased as is. they are new and say 'RCC BLACKFOOT' on them so they must be original tamiya wheels?! on the back of one of the fronts you can see a small hint of the original yellow.

Monster racer s-10
cyclepsych0
thanks guys for the comments! phoenix, i used the hilux rear body mounts in the front for the extra hieght. and used super blackfoot rear body mounts spaced out about 12mm from the back of the shock tower at the same holes. i also relocated the stock KC antenna mount to the center of the front edge of the shock tower. this makes all the stock S-10 holes line up perfectly! i did have to redrill for the front though!

Blitzer rebirth or poor man's scorcher?
OCD

paint job looks fantastic!

Restored to good 'runner' condition, and run it will!
modelmaniac
what a very cool idea! i too was recently thinking of taking my box 'o parts and making a nice presentable runner. i figured i'd spend a little doing so, but your 'spend no money' idea is challenging and i like that! this blackfoot came out fantastic!!

Donner chassis

Sand rail
MikeT
Great looking machine and what a cool idea! Couldn't you extend the (4) 4-link bars enough for the shocks to lean forward, allowing for motor clearance? Not sure how much would be neccesary, and if it would yield you an incredibly rediculous wheelbase, but it's just an idea! Lovin' the progress of it so far!!

Nice score! The original Clod's had 'Chevrolet' on the decal sheets as well. On the sides of the bed near the back just above the tail lights. Not sure if a whole lot of those are still around, but worth the hunt at least! Great parts you have there!!

Handy guide of the differences between 83&05 frog
Ant0276
Hi there! I found another difference in the chassis. Maybe you could add it to your list. Look in my showroom under 'Extra Info'. I've added photos and a description there to better see the difference. Fantastic work on your list! Very, very useful and interesting stuff!!!

Thought i'd try a team theme!
cyclepsych0
HaHa... It's Suzuki as in Suzuki Motorcycles, motocross bikes to be exact! Never really thought about the confusion regarding Suzuki Cars 'till now. LOL Funny thing is I drive a 1:1 Chevy Silverado and ride Kawasaki's and a Husqvarna in the dirt......
I just happened to have these stickers left over which are meant for a helmet and a can of yellow spray! I agree with you about the pin spikes, I must have spent a small fortune in 2.2' tires and I always end up back with these. I just wish the spikes would last a little longer. LOL. Thanks for the comment!

Gold imex rims!
cyclepsych0
I finally opened these up last week! I've gotta a modded Blackfoot in the works right now that will wear these. I've always liked gold rims on these trucks, but MB wheels are expensive and I see the HPI 5-spokes everywhere.....

Stick a fork in me, i'm done...calsonic optima!!!
cardesigner
Wow! That looks incredible! The protech body really looks meant for that chassis!! I may be coming up on a Turbo Optima to restore here soon, and this gives me some motovation. As of now, I am completely blind in the world of Kyosho.......
Fantastic job on your car!!
