Monster Truck Madness – Amazing BIGFOOT Replicas

In the world of replica r/c monster trucks, I’d wager that the BIGFOOT fleet of trucks has been done the most. And they’ve been done very well! So many talented builders have done their version of the big blue Ford that they all kind of run together. I mean heck, nowadays you can just buy a great looking one from Traxxas, even if it isn’t technically solid axle.

The fact that so many have been done makes it even more noteworthy when you see one that catches the eye. Adam Rogers doesn’t just have one though- he has an entire fleet! These trucks look so good and so realistic that at a recent BIGFOOT Open House, even Bob Chandler and Jim Kramer were stopped dead in their tracks by them. That’s a high compliment!

Adam’s replica BIGFOOT fleet is well known throughout the solid axle community, and for the longest time I’ve been wanting to shout them out on here. We are all stuck indoors, so now is the perfect time! Adam was kind enough to send me pictures of his trucks as well as a brief description of the builds. He has more than just BIGFOOT trucks, but for the sake of brevity I’ll talk about some of the others in another post.

Here are the trucks with descriptions on what’s being used, provided by Adam.

Thank you for sharing this awesome fleet, Adam! As mentioned before, I’ll share some of his other stunning replica monsters sometime soon in another post! In the meantime, if you have any cool monster truck builds you’d like to share (any kind of monster truck, not just solid axle!) please send it my way with a build run down. As we are stuck inside, some bench racing is a nice way to pass the time! doug@bigsquidrc.com
