The Tamiya Blackfoot returns in the 2016 reissue, keeping the original truck vibe while integrating small updates that enhance serviceability and everyday use. It appeals to collectors and hands-on builders alike.
This edition uses the familiar space frame chassis to hold components securely and supports a 4-wheel independent suspension for improved wheel control. The layout helps the model absorb rough ground without losing its vintage character.
Fitted with wide 123mm lug tyres, the truck grips loose surfaces well and the CVA dampers assist in controlling body motion. An oversized front bumper and a molded ABS body with a driver figure keep the model looking period correct while standing up to hard use.
A 540 motor is supplied, so basic running is possible once you add an ESC and radio gear. The lack of a preinstalled ESC gives you freedom to choose an electronic setup that fits your batteries and driving preferences.
As a blend of nostalgia and usable performance, the Blackfoot 2016 is a straightforward kit that invites personalization and straightforward upgrades.
