If you grew up around iconic RC rigs, the Tamiya Blackfoot name will be familiar. The reissued Blackfoot 2016 brings back that retro silhouette while using improved components to make the build more robust and serviceable for modern hobbyists.
The space frame chassis keeps the original look but adds structural rigidity to handle off-road use. A 4-wheel independent suspension layout helps the truck stay composed over uneven ground, making the model approachable for both restorers and newcomers to classic kits.
The truck rolls on large 123mm lug tires for predictable traction on loose surfaces, and CVA dampers smooth the ride under load. An oversized bumper and the ABS resin shell with driver figure complete the period-correct presentation while offering durability for rough runs.
This kit includes a 540 motor to get you on the track quickly, but the Electronic Speed Controller is not included so you can pick an ESC that matches your driving style and battery setup.
The Tamiya Blackfoot 2016 pairs classic good looks with straightforward mechanics, offering a fun restoration-style project that also performs on dirt and light trail runs.
