Tamiya Blackfoot 2016 Re-Release

Published on June 11, 2016 by RCNewz in Offroad RC, RC Cars and Trucks

Back in January, Tamiya published an image of a cloaked truck that was said to be the upcoming re-release of an all time great RC truck, the Blackfoot. Some sharp eyed enthusiasts noticed that the image in question was nothing but a stock photo of a full sized truck draped in red cloth. That realization lead many to question whether the truck would retain its original charm or if it would ever see the light of day at all. Well, we are pleased to announce that the Tamiya Blackfoot 2016 re-release is indeed for real and it’ll be hitting store shelves in just a couple of months! Like its re-released sister vehicle, the Monster Beetle, the Blackfoot retains all of the allure of the original with just a few new additions including universal driveshafts with protective rubber boots and an electronic speed control. While the re-released Tamiya Blackfoot still comes equipped with that beautiful stepside pickup truck body, it now features a new front grill and the Ford logos are a thing of the past. Check out the pictures of the Tamiya Blackfoot 2016 re-release below and let us know what you think!
