The Tamiya 17002 Blackfoot Junior is part of the 1/32 Wild Mini 4WD collection, combining cheeky monster truck looks with solid mechanical design. Its compact body and oversized tyres reproduce monster truck character while remaining easy to store and show off. The stance and wheel size invite playful wheelies and two-wheel driving.
Powered by a centre-mounted motor that feeds into a sidewinder gear set, the Blackfoot Junior balances drive between front and rear for predictable handling. Its tyres measure 52mm in diameter and 31mm across, giving a lifted, off-road ready appearance and improved clearance.
The kit snaps together without glue, making it accessible to first-time builders while pleasing more experienced modelers. A motor is supplied, but the model requires two R6/AA/UM3 alkaline batteries which are sold separately. Finished builds work well as shelf models or for casual track sessions.
