I'm also taking the midnight pumpkin off the list because its the same truck as the lunch box, just more expensive and a different body.

Also took off the wild willy cause its more money than i want to spend, and the same with the frog (plus the ground clearance isn't as good as i want).

So now its down to the lunchbox and blackfoot extreme. I'm leaning towards the blackfoot because of the bigger wheelbase and better shocks. But the lunchbox does look like a lot of fun

Last post I swear, haha

The lunchbox's front arms are the same looking as the grasshopper's and hornet's and i got rid of those cause they looked fragile. So I guess the winner is the blackfoot. Unless I can find another stadium blitzer on ebay. If not then I'll be getting the blackfoot xtreme in the near future.

Go for the Blackfoot Extreme. It would be a better jumper then the Lunchbox.

Since you're set on Tamiya Get the blackfoot. Great truck. I have on with Clod tires and a S600 motor. Great fun. If other brands are an option you can't got wrong with a stampede or rustler.

Yea I just bought a blackfoot today. Also got ball bearings for it. I do have a question about shocks though. I still have the stock shocks from my Durga kit, but the front shocks are smaller than the rear ones. They're oil filled so I wanted to use them on the blackfoot when it arrives. The fronts are 76mm and the rears are 92mm. Will this be a problem if I put them on the blackfoot? Would I have to buy a new set of shocks? If so whats an inexpensive/good set to put on this new kit?

Make sure to have a build thread. I'm thinking that I'm going to make my Evader a Racer/Speed Demon.
