These both had the PDI clod-a-lever suspension kit on them( which later became Bennett) Bigfoot 8 was an ESP zilla 2 chassis and the Yellow truck was a stock plastic chassis clod. Motion graphics painted the Bigfoot and a firend of mine did the paint drip on the yellow truck.

oK you wanted more pics here they are.

First Monsters I owned. Actually the USA 1 ( blue Bigfoot 4 body )was the first MT I bought. installed sassy chassis on it and made a HUGE difference!! handled real well and would kill a modded clod in a tight course. The Red truck was actually a Bullhead. they had a chassis brace and better motors than the clod and of course Chrome wheels!! it was SUPPOSED to be my wifes!!! well that was the excuse I used to buy it so I could build a clod. The red bullhead later became the Bigfoot 8 truck.

this is a pic of the Bullhead with the freshly painted Bigfoot 8 body and new PDI clod-a-lever suspenion kit right after mocking up. I still had to fabricate sway bar mount plate. I also had the upper and lower links switched accidentally:shk


this is the truck after Anodizing everything black. Sway bar mount now on also

1992 R/CTPA Worlds. Bigfoot 8 and Bearfoot. Bearfoot truck not mine but he did a nice job on it and could not resist the photo op.

I I had sold the Yellow clod by the time the worlds came about and then right after the 92 Worlds I sold the Bigfoot 8 to a guy I met atthe worlds. He said if I ever wanted to sell contact him and he gave me his number. I believe I sold it about a month later to get funds for Off road RC racing I was doing at the time. I believe the new LXT or XXT( to dang long ago!!) was about ready to be released and needed some new batts and stuff.

then I made a return to the Worlds I believe in 2000 with a scratch built clod. Brian Martonic( spelling) painted a Bigfoot body for me. I had just got the truck finished and had not even run two battery pack through it. I missed out getting a trophy in the mod clod class by .02 of a second!!! Sold that too right after Worlds.

wow some awesome pictures! Wasn't that dave pack's bearfoot clod shown beside your bigfoot 8?

boy I really can not remeber. It could have been. My first real memory of Dave Pack was in 2000 when he had his overkill TXT tuber. I believe that truck won the concours and Presidents award. at the time it seemed as no one had ever seen anything quite that detailed. So it was possible the Bearfoot was Daves but he really blew me away in 2000!
