RC Bashers

Well finally scored one and did I score(well least I think so lol) had this in my watch list on ebay and they dude had it for $60 but ended with no buyers so contacted him and we did a deal outside ebay for $60 shipped and after getting it yesterday its in very nice condition for its age, ram lights on the rollbar and included 2 extras. The paint job is what got me cause it reminded me a my favorite 80's show the fall guy for you older bunch you will know that one haha. Has some weird paint deal on the hood but its really not noticed unless you get in the light just right, he said it was storage for some years so probaly heat or something? Then the only other flaw is the chipped front window in the middle you can see. Thinking a original bumper is in order just looks better and this is really screaming for more leds, Bill? lol



He looks a bit scared lol

Dont hold your breath lol doubt it will get any driving duty, if it does it will be just a silver can and some slow cruising like on the beach or something. I have no paint skills to fix this so its gonna be babied for sure

Is the white a sticker or paint? That's why I hate the hard bodies, the body doesn't flex so if you hit something it cracks. If you roll it over you scratch the paint.

The FORD letters? Those are painted if so.
All in all im really happy with it I have been waiting for a long time to get one and never thought I would cause I have not seen a bf lid for less then $100 even a beat up one and lately they have been going for much less if they even sell. I had another one I was watching that had been painted up a nice blue and it was perfect to, it sold for around $60 I think it was.
Now I know its not the original blackfoot scheme and some might say thats important, well I sorta agree but to me like I said before it reminded me of the tv show I watched as a kid and I was all over it and well its different and does look really dam good in person

I always look at pics first and thought the same thing, if it was a GMC it'd be Fall Guy, haha. I've seen a couple Clodbuster bodies done in Fall guy colors. Was one of my favorite shows as a kid.

Update, got electrics in teh foot again, it didnt have any before. Also scored a nice set of rims and tires off ebay for like $30, they were the gold ones but painted black with some stripping, the tires are still nice and soft but the spikes are pretty much worn. I did get a pair of spiked tires today that will be put on only when I run it, since the tires werent glued its a easy swap

Yes it is and better yet with real rims and tires. Next work will be getting the leds finished

15 years ago this is the rigg that started this insanity for me. looks sharp. id like to get my hands on a sand scorcher.

Now that came out REAL NICE!!!! Looks top shelf. Always had a soft spot for metal flake. And those are more like metal chunks.I also agree box art is nice to match up.But I also think something different sets the rig apart.l8r,w.

Thanks guys, I really like it now to. See if I get motivated to mess with leds next

Been awhile but I had been thinking about this for some time, think I even posted it at one point but wanted to add some leds in the front but I have this knack to screw up my measurements even tho I checked it many times over the months I was pretty confident I could fit 2 5mm leds in each socket. My fear of not getting the holes right kept me from doing it since a new grill for a blackfoot is pretty much impossible to find. So we come to 2:30 am and im very bored and lack of having anything to work on for months I leaped into this and it came out good!
Just gotta do the wiring but I need some shrink wrap so gotta get with Bill since he has the right stuff
Wanna do something for brake lights next and I noticed the rear tail light buckets have a cutout behind them! So I think I can just glue a led in the and stick through the front, not the best way but its a light.
