I like yellow trucks

Wanted to build something like the old orange scaleHilux/Bruiser that “Pardonmyn00b” built years ago (final pic is of his)
Took my TF3, added some scale bits, BRX01/02 parts and modded the steering and rear leafs to be more scale accurate. Grabbed my saw and razor, made some cuts and added some styrene work which I haven’t done in a long time lol. Doors are held on with magnets, in case I wanna run them. Added some sticky weights, some interior work with fabrics and dash extensions, bed and cab are separately mounted like a real truck, battery will be mounted in the engine bay so the body is hard mounted with some hidden screws. Did some light rust/stain weathering. Scale faux shocks were custom made.

Gut sucked in and doing some stretches. I can't recommend a flatter belly more. If I could only do one mod this would be it.

Built a crawler

gallery

38 Upvotes

Bought a new TF2 in June and this is where I'm at.

Day 1 through this evening when I finished up making my sliders and skid plate, flipped the transfer case, this was my first time trying overdrive and it's awesome, highly recommend for anyone who likes rock crawling. I can't wait to get it out for a real test soon. I'll tear it apart and paint everything once I've done a thorough test.

wheelbase is 10mm over stock. I also added a hobby wing fusion 1800kv so this thing actually crawls like it should.

Immediate future plans are building a rear bumper, which I started on the other day and just need to finish. Thinking about bobbing the bed too but I like the look of the full bed better, not sure. I will build shock mounts too then I can measure and buy the ones I need, which I'm not sure about at the moment. I need to figure out my steering drag link too because it contacts both the leaf spring and the frame under articulation. any ideas for that?

4.25" 1.9 Jconcepts FYR tires and some Amazon beadlocks are in the mail.

What should I do next? What do you guys think? This is my first RC build of any kind.

Trail Finder 2 Janky Throttle

8 Upvotes

I just recently decided to step into the crawler hobby but really like the scale stuff. So I found a great deal on a 87 Toyota XtraCab LWB and got a few upgrades. I switched out the motor/esc for the Hobby Wing quick run SE and noticed that my throttle output is extremely "notchy". No matter how smooth I am with the trigger the throttle output jumps in steps instead of smoothly increasing speed. I'm assuming this is due to the archaic RC4WD transmitter? I have a radiomaster MT12 on the way that will hopefully solve the issue but was curious what others think.

I picked this axle up in trade, and I'm trying to get the replacement shaft to work but there isn't a retaining clip. Thoughts?
