Default King Blackfoot Project is done



After a year and half ofrestoring my RC project for the 2nd time it is 100% complete



The truck started out as a Bush Devil, when I was a teen, Irestore the truck and changed it to a Bigfoot body and painted the rims, body clips, bumper, and roll bar silver.



2 years ago, my truck was sittingon a shelf in the basement,came up with an idea tomake a modernization look of the Classic King Blackfoot



BEFORE:







I took everything off to the chassis and clean it up, I had to replace the steering support bar bracket (that also holds the bumper) due to it was broken, replaced it witha FROG bracket.



Replaced the stock shocks with Yeah Racing Chrome Shocks with a Blue Springs from China, then purchased a F-350 body from Parma from the US and painted it a Black Metallic color



Purchased a NIB Lunchbox bumper from a local Hobby Shop



Found King Blackfoot Decals and the King Blackfoot Chrome Plated Roll Bar off of eBay from China



I was looking forever for the King Blackfoot Chrome Plated Wheels, then found them off of eBay from the UK



I was looking for replacement Tires for my project, couldnt find anything that really satisfied my taste, did buy tires for replacement but they were to small, so I cleaned up the tires I had to use.




and the end result:

Not really, the difference between King Blackfootfrom Bush Devil is just the front bracket that has two body clip pins to hold the body, i have both manuals, I compared them. Besides that, BD and KBFare the same justall of the blue parts on a BDis Grey/Silver on KBF

The stock bumpers are the same, just didnt use it, i choose a Lunchbox bumper because I thought it looked better

nope, the kind blackfoot uses a more standered a-arm for the front while the bushdevil uses the frog style

see the differences
