JConcepts 2020 Ford Raptor body - BIGFOOT 19 Racer

It all started with a 1974 Ford F-250. Originally purchased to take on camping trips and for 4-wheeling, Bob Chandler, and his "BIGFOOT" truck created an entire industry. Performing the first car crush in front of a crowd, BIGFOOT created a legacy that has withstood the test of time. Over the past 46 years there have been many specialty-built vehicles in the world, but nothing quite like "The Original Monster Truck."

Carrying a pick-up truck body and driving on 66" tires for many years, the team from Pacific, Missouri, have literally done it all in the world of Monster Trucks. With 7 Hollywood movies to its credit, a visitor to 26 different countries, BIGFOOT is worldwide. With flash photography lighting up stadiums around the world and video equipment rolling, BIGFOOT with Bob and Marilyn Chandler, Jim Kramer and ace drivers like Dan Runte have thrilled millions of fans. Simply put, there is nothing quite like a BIGFOOT moment.

In the world of RC, Monster Trucks have had a tremendous impact. Since the 1980's, many of the best-selling vehicles have added the monstrous tag to garner attention, and, low and behold, it has worked. As RC monster trucks continue to thrive, body shell options, decal packages and hop-ups are always in high-demand. Screaming new options from Losi with the LMT and the SMT10 from Axial have fueled the need for capable products to withstand monster truck racing and bashing.
