Had the idea of fitting a Blackfoot onto an XC chassis but the shells are a little pricey so off to the lhs I popped and bought a nice new Blackfoot extreme, I wanted the shell and my dad is having the chassis to run with a lexan shell. ;-) . with the wheelbase set to its smallest size it fits like a glove after some helpfull words from some other TC members i decided to mount the front body mount from a hard body paj in the bumper thus keeping it hidden, then all I had to do was make a rear body mount so that no more hole would have to be drilled in the shell. Whilst in the lhs i found some bits and bobs that would do the job and set about making the rear mount out of carbon fiber and bits. Then added the MU lowrider wheels for a more scale look and hey presto. The shell is covered in Tamiya TS-41 (Coral Blue), and has turned out better than I was hoping.
After the first real run at the kent Bash on the 5/6/05 this thing is soooo stable running a silver can motor and a 21 pinion it is fast enough to have fun with stops very quickly and just will not turn over!! Belive me I tried!!
