My original Blackfoot and my second car
These are my first cars that started it all. The Grasshopper II was first then the Blackfoot. The Grasshopper 2 was my first car at the age of 12 and with the help of my dad built it on christmas day. I ran it and loved it and then did a swap for the blackfoot. The blackfoot eventually rounded the rear drive shafts as they do if youre to brutal with them.
I then sold the blackfoot to my mate who trashed it. I managed to buy back my grasshopper 2 in much need of some tlc and when my mate bought his own house and moved i helped and found a box of parts that were the remains of the blackfoot. I have taken my time to restore them both and will now be passed onto my son and never be sold or swapped again.
The fun of finding old parts and restoring old Tamiyas has led to the collection that is now in my showroom.
Thank you for reading and please take a look at my showroom.
