|  Bigfoot Fasttrax RC ?
Ok. So i'm in talks with a guy that says he has 1 of 10 Rc Bigfoot Fasttrax. From what he said it is a 1:16 Tamiya King Tiger Tank but has a full custom entire top end all factory built for just Big foot liscensing. I'm looking this up every where but can not for the life of my find proof of it even existing certainly not 10 of them. Can someone shead some light on this with some info. I've googled every which way I could to find info on this vehicle. I really wanna know if this vehicle is really that rare that I cant find any info of it ever existing. If its this rare I would be a fool not to pick this thing up. Its kinda high but for something this rare (if in fact it is that rare) it would be worth every penny. He says its in perfect mint shape, with original tamiya radio and everything. The 1/16 king tiger tank alone sells for over 600 bucks. Let me know ASAP if you have any info or linkys.

Parma made a Ford Aerostar body a few years ago. 1/12th scale and originally designed for the Lunch Box. If someone were going for a licensing deal, they wouldn't have made one from mix-n-matched parts as you'd never be able to make money selling something like that. When we licensed our new Ground Pounder bodies, we had one sample presented to the team/sponsor for review, then went into production. It's a very cool piece (I'd like it myself), but not 1 of 10. |

I may do that. Thanks for the idea. I'm still confident that if this were legit there would be SOMETHING online about it. Can't be the only person ever to bring this up if there were more. Still like to have the trax vehicle but it definetly lost its luster some if its not a 1 of 10 truck.

Well folks I am the creator of that Fastrax shown in that picture, i built it in 1991 for Radio Controlled model cars magazine it was on the cover and I wrote the article. This is a one off custom built rig i used a 3ch radio the body can lift via remote has a strobe light on the roll bar inside along with a detailed parma hemi. so there the mystery is solved  |

I just saw this post and it made me decide to make one just like this one. I have a vintage King Tiger tank that has been sitting on the shelf. I put the tank bodywork up for sale and ordered an Aerostar body today for it. I will go to ToysRus for the blower setup next weekend.

The motors were inside, not out the roof. And yes, motors, as in two 460 big blocks. I remember seeing that thing run at a few local events when I was way young. Knowing a former mechanic for bigfoot is cool too. They have an entire room, just for blowers and such for the motors. I wasnt allowed to see the motor room...
