Decided to do a post on my Bigfoot 4.
I originally built my first version in early 2020, using a Kings of Crunch chassis that i modified to make hybrid suspension, i also added a
Hot Wheels Monster Truck roll cage on the chassis then cut bits of plastic to make the frame a straight frame just like on the real truck. Ended up using the Maisto Bigfoot since that’s all i had at the time, but it made my truck look like the later version of the real deal.
As my skills got better i fixed the chassis and got brave enough to cut the body and added the iconic exhaust. It stayed like this for a while until i decided to redo the chassis completely with the Kings of Crunch Bigfoot 5 chassis being the main base. I did end up building it the same way as before but with polystyrene strips, a bigger improvement from before.
I ended up changing the body to the aeronose with the racer stripes, it wasn’t the bricknose but i worked with what i had at the time. I also messed with some gray rims for a different look and it was like this for a while until Greenlight released the bricknose. Once i got my hands on a few i decided to cut the bed out and build a full roll cage from scratch using polystyrene rod and added smaller details accurate to the real truck, at the time i think this was the first fully accurate Bigfoot 4. Now there’s resin chassis you can purchase.
But this is pretty much how the truck sits today, its gone through a lot of changes and rebuilding over the years but it reflects my building skills as time went on and is one of my favorites in the collection.
