description  this is my beloved blackfoot which i built in 86/87 but never finished it until now (could this be the longest build of a blackfoot!!) i bought it when i used to race at a local club every friday night so my time with rc back then was taken up with club racing with a hotshot so it ended up in the spare room in my parents house i moved away for a job so it sat there in the wardrobe until about a year ago, so i brought it back to life again by stripping it apart put new grease etc in it building the 2 sets of cva short shock units i bought for it back then and the tamiya bearings all still had the price labels on them from beatties, what a fantasic step back in time the only problem ive got is no decals! so yet again it sits and waits!, one day it will be finished!!.
