I had some time today and with a little bit of snow on the ground I decided to get the "Black 'Box" out for some fun.

Well, even though snow is only a 1/2" (13mm) deep, the 'box can't move very well in it.

Oh well, what can ya do?

I bought a different camera off Ebay for $12.00 it's a Sony Cybershot 6mb from 2004, I was hoping it would have a better picture and sound than the old Samsung that I have been using. The picture seems to be about the same but the sound is Much better. See for yourself.


I thought the vid looked choppy, but it looks great on my computer, so I guess youtube is being fussy today?

Before the E-Maxx cam out, I liked the idea of the Twin Dagger, or whatever it was called - twin motors in a smaller truck - never did get one ..... as I got the E-Maxx.

Nice job of sign-writing in the snow !!

I wish I still had my Black foot tires I sold on ebay. I would send them to ya. I had studded them with sheetrock screws just for that reason. Made it bite big time as you can imagine. Those models don't have enough power to ruin a pair of tires no matter how many holes you put in them. :laugh:
 
Youtube sure trashed my vid! It's so choppy it makes my eyes hurt. Especially on my 50 inch plasma that I use as my computer monitor.
 
I built a Blackfoot using a screwdriver and normal scissors in Africa 12 years ago.
I managed to flatten the pins in the tyres as well, doing donuts on the concrete in the 'mess' and on the gravel - I was one of the last on a geochem exploration site before it closed ...

Blackfoot was great, but with those original radios, I lost it once !!
Standard 540 motor but it lost signal at full throttle !!
It didn't get very far, fortunately, then just before I left, I SOLD IT to the local Customs guy !!!!!!!!
