thanks...I grew up watching these 80's monster trucks on t.v. I stopped watching when I got to middle school because of my involvement in sports and homework...this truck brings me back to my youth. I wish Traxxas didn't discontinue their Monster Jam line-up. I'm looking to get the Traxxas Grave Digger, even if it is only 2WD...

I had a video of all the different versions, including the first water crossing. Here's what I remember watching. Legend of Bigfoot - The Original Monster Truck: http://youtu.be/NAe_EdvMKEw

Foot 1 & 2 used 1979 bodies with black roll bars Foot 3 & 4 had the 1983 body and the chrome roll bars. Sadly the original 4 trucks, only Foot 1 remains. Now retired as a display truck on the 10 foot tall arctic terra tires

 

[DrDiff952]

Big Foot wasn't the trucks name. It was Bob Chander's nick name because he couldn't keep his "Big Foot" off the thottle and thus kept breaking parts.
