Have a good condition King Blackfoot that I got in 2000 for Christmas. Took it out and got a boat load of part to fix it up and upgrade it. So in love again, what a truck! 😁

@AMPROEngineering Год назад

So awesome! I love mine. I will do a buyers guide on it soon! I was stuck on footage for the frog but now I have that done.

@dennis1979gm Год назад

This was my 2nd RC car as a kid after a first series bandit that stripped the rear diff. Memories!

@AMPROEngineering Год назад

That's a great upgrade!

They are rare to see in yellow and I think they work like this.

@bamabiker750 3 года назад

I've always like the BF and I had a couple friends who raced them back in the late '80's. If/when someone starts injection-molding or vacuum forming a true 1/10 scale version of this Ford step-side body, I have a new HG-P407 in the box and waiting. Great video as always. Cheers!

@AMPROEngineering 3 года назад

Man.... I didnt think of that....no one seems to make a 1/10 do they? thanks for the kind words too BTW!

@QBziZ 3 года назад

One of the best rc bodies ever. Nice looking BF!

@AMPROEngineering 3 года назад

I agree! Thanks!

ive had a thorpe rear end in my blackfoot since the early 90s,still works great

@AMPROEngineering Год назад

Nice. I sold all of mine after the MIP came out. Worked out well, sold the thorp's for 100-150 each. Bought the MIP's and Tamiya CVD for $60 a truck. Haha! Man I love these trucks now.

Dude! You are the man! I need to have you on my show "Lets Talk RC" that I do on my channel. We are near the same age and grew up with these things back in the 80s and 90s. You were an inspiration for me to get back into this hobby and resurrect my old Tamiya cars. Would love to have a casual convo and go back in time. Let me know if you are down.

@rockrollarc9792 3 года назад

Nice video Where did you get the sway bar from and as monster beetle is the same chassis would it fit on one?

@AMPROEngineering 3 года назад

Oh man...I think it was on a parts car from years back. you can find them on ebay.

@NordicRC 3 года назад

Looks great, my friend. Good history it has. So what exactly do you se for the clear coat? And whatever happened to the continuation of the MIP project? Totally cancelled, or will there be more? I know we had a hard time finding support, but I see the MIP super ball diff a lot on videos like this.

@AMPROEngineering 3 года назад

Thank you! The clear is testors clear. I love that stuff. Well MIP is still on board but some of the "T" fans on some sites have been awful to deal with. Makes it hard to get the word out.

@domx2190 2 года назад

I didn’t like the re release grill so I got an original one off eBay. Looks a lot better. Cool vid btw

The prices on Shapeways is outrageous when it come to the Blackfoot tail light 17.24 for houses 17.24 for lenses and I needed 2 sets for my snap-on hauler that highway Robbery

@AMPROEngineering 2 года назад

These are 3D printed, not molded. Molded ones would be about 0.50 cents each but $1500 for the mold, an MOQ of about 10000 units....

@EdwardChew 3 года назад

dang i want one too

@AMPROEngineering 3 года назад

They are solid cars.

have you ever thought about making a 3d print for the sun roof panel? Seems like they are always lost

No I haven't. That is a good idea! I will add it to the cue. I think it would be very helpful.

I run a lot of these but by todays standards they are not good. On top of that they sell for $150+. For that you can get 3 great escs.

@toddl5038 3 года назад

I had roll over in my blackfoot over the weekend that destroyed the rear body posts. Is there a more durable body post for the blackfoot?

@AMPROEngineering 3 года назад

Sadly no. they are hard PC ABS. I made some in nylon but they require the body to be modified. ABS ones would be best but at the moment there really is nothing.

@nchellzz 2 года назад

hey man awesome color! is it chrome or camel yellow? would like to do this on mine

@AMPROEngineering 2 года назад

Oh man....this was years ago...I want to say it was camel yellow? Good rule of thumb, get a yellow that matches (or close to) the wheels. That is what I did.
