To me they are a must I have had linked yotas in the past ( a lot of them) but my last was leafed and was more of a challenge to drive to me. thanks for checking it out.

[Die-Laughing]

Lookin' Good!

Thanks man waiting on the axles for the most part then it should really start to take shape.

yea tires look like they were only ran in sand and clay to me no rocks.... Body is drying now before the white wash have the bed done and it looks great guys... pic coming soon. STILL WAITING ON AXLES SHOULD NOW BE HERE TOM.

[bayareaaxial]

Body all painted up just have to add some details.











what do you guys think ?

[bayareaaxial]

Ok time for an update the color wasnt working for me so Now I have this , pretty sweet huh.





Here is the chassis running yota axles all that is left is to drill the rear of the chassis to mount the front shackles, shown with the red leafs.







And the new ss Compound MTZs from RC4WD the best compound I have felt from them so far and possibly on any tire!!!!! Fit The body perfect and with there height who could blame me for going to 1.9s.

[rod-211]

man that looks great im really liking that new color
im thinking of getting the new mtz's cuse of the new compound but havent seen any reviews yet.

[bayareaaxial]

I will let you know how they are as soon as I have my rims in they seem to be the best feeling tire I have ever felt, fingers crossed.

[scale4x4]

I have sold the 7t puller due just to the fact I dont want to spend 150.00 on axles then another 60.00 to replace the gears when they strip out. But I think they will hanle a 35 turn on 3s ... only time will tell though.

[BGGruff]

Thats looking good! I really like the blue and I really want to try
those MTZs out,they will look great with that body. I'm working
on a front leafed and rear 4 link Hilux and want to put the MTZs
on them. Can't wait to see how yours turns out.

I'm using an RC4WD trailfinder chassis with the 1st type of Yota axles
that RC4WD came out with. I'm using the red leafs with the Superlift
angled wedges in between the axle and the leafs up front. I had leafs
all around but just felt like changing rear to 4 link. I like the idea of
leafs up front and linked rear.
