| Further Description/Back Story | I bought this Trx4 around 2 years ago, not long after I finished restoring a Tamiya Super Blackfoot that I got for Christmas back in 1993. I think that’s what got me back in the hobby. This project started as a scale version of the original Bigfoot until I realized that it would have limited off-road capability if I had the tires close to the fenders like the original. That’s when the “79 Beast” was born. I wanted a truck that would laugh at the snow and mud and it does just that. |
