I know this last version of the Blackfoot remains a simple machine but who cares ?
The Twin Detonator also catched me ... Do you know its chassis ? The same than the Wild Dagger or improved ??

I got a flyer from Tamiya Japan that said that the Twin Detonator is out in Japan at the end of November. It looks very similar to the Dagger in terms of chassis, but the flyer said that both gearboxes are pre-built.

ok
I finally found them at towerhobbies ... The Lexan one is surprisingly less priced than the Wild Dagger ... The two seem to have the exactly same chassis (Wild Dagger as well) ... Great step from the Blackfoot chassis ...

Good sport truck for the buck I figure ...

The Blackfoot is actually the Wild Dagger chassis but without the front motor and drivetrain. The Twin Detonator is more or less the same.

There are pages on each in the New Products forums.

Thanks Steve !
10$ is minimal for such a difference !! I'll suggest the Twin if anybody ask me for

i was lookin at these and it seems to me they're pretty much the same as the wild dagger. But hey, who cares? they look super fun. GIMME GIMME GIMME!!! Hey popop, any project ideas for these?:D

No-one due to the 05 deep mounts ... All the TL01, TB01, WW2 chassis have the same pb ... No big blok can go there ... And heat dissipation is a real pb ...
I even started thinking about a .12 conversion for the WW2 using some Kyosho wheelie hardware !

But these Wild Dagger clones remain plain cool for newbies !!

O...bummer. You can't load a whole boat load of cells with some Speed 600s on to them though? that'd be pretty neat.:D
