Overview
The 2WD Blackfoot III monster truck is the 5th generation Tamiya R/C vehicle to use the famous Blackfoot name. It features metal-plated parts for the accent pieces. The reinforced polycarbonate monocoque frame chassis allows easy access to the main components and allows maintenance of the gearbox to be simple and easy. The Gearbox comes pre-assembled from the factory, making it perfect for beginner kit builders. The gearbox used is also the same one used in other famous Tamiya vehicles such as the Wild Willy II, Wilde Dagger and the Twin Detonator. The 2WD drive transmission and four-wheel double wishbone suspension offers sure-footed handling over almost any terrain.
