The Tamiya Blackfoot has become something of a Legend in the RC world, and the Blackfoot 3 is the 5th model in Tamiya’s history to bear the famous Blackfoot name. Featuring high quality chrome-plated parts for the front grille, wheel rims and other accents, the Blackfoot III is finished & detailed to the usual high standards that we’ve come to expect from Tamiya. The chassis is made from reinforced polycarbonate and is of the monocoque frame chassis design used on the Blackfoot Xtreme and Twin Detonator trucks and allows easy access to the gearbox and main components making maintenance as easy as possible.
