This is my runner Super Blackfoot. Having this truck is kind of sacreligous for me because I am not a fan of Ford products, but hey it's a Tamiya and the Fords do have good looks I wont deny that. I got it for Christmas the year it came out to replace my poor old Blackfoot that fell demise to a Hot Trick chassis upgrade gone bad. I first left it black. Then about five years later I had some metallic dark blue paint laying around so I painted it with that. At this time I really wasn't into RC much anymore so I really didn't care much about how it came out, I even taped around the license plate sticker on the back, lol I would never do that now. If I remember right I got the license plate sticker from a 4Wheel magazine subscription offer in the mail. Well it stayed that way till 2008 when I dug all my RC stuff out and added a Frog chassis because I liked the gray. And I put some oil shocks from an RC10GT Team truck on it that I wasn't using. I drove it a few times and was quite impressed with how it drove with the better shocks on it. And hey they match too so I left em on there. I then ran across the decals here on TC for the SRB F150 and I thought hmmm, in silver that would look mighty nice I bet. So I gave it a shot and I liked it. Buuuut, then I got the Mad Bull located in my showroom that I restored. I had the wheels left over from it and stuck them on my Super Blackfoot. And bam it all came together. Well needless to say they have never come off since. I am more than happy with how this turned out, even if it did take over a decade to fall together. I think it has the Ford racing and Bigfoot look but also looks like an old SRB F150 on steroids at the same time. It is for sure one of my favorites. It has Futaba radio gear and ESC for electronics installed. It also has bearings and a Sport Tamiya Motor in it. The driver is the original but the head is from some Tamiya kit. I don't know which one. But it reminded me of the Stig from Top Gear and I loved how it looked so I put it in. Enjoy...

Thanks for the comments. After seeing the pics I think I need to paint the insides of the wheels black, lol.
