I'm a ford fan! Having a 70 Torino and a 701/2 falcon.
And a f150 and my wife's escape. I would say yes.

I haven't built a ford for my RC stable yet, but this is what I want!

Very nice and scale! The way it should be done.

Tires seem to work better the more you run them, made a small mud pit at the base of a steep hill today and it walked right up it with the tires caked in mud I dont even think they spun once. Loneranger here are a couple pictures for you





Part of my course, there is more in the woods


And my wheel and tire combo for my tow rig

Hmmm I am not a fan of any of those- tow rigs need to be hard bodies! I would LOVE to find a 2012 4 door ram to model my wife's 1:1 !!!

I don't know hat size they are but I have seen son hard body f150's around?

If ya have to go Lexan I say the 79' 4 door highboy gets my vote.

I had a couple of the tamiya hardbodied fords, they are more 1/12 scale. If someone made a 1/10 hardbody ford I would go that route I want to be able to use the k44's on it as well.

Couple updates, had my first k44 failure, and finally got around to putting some lights in this thing (at least the front anyway) and I also painted the grill to match the rest of the bronco. I added a functional electric fan, also picked up a driver These pitbull tires continue to amaze me too

Fan actually serves a purpose, blows on the motor and esc. I was having heat issues with this smaller esc. Yeah a bearing, front tire was flopping all over the place and it took about half an hour to get what was left of the bearing out of the knuckle. They are pressed in, or at-least mine was

It's not just the k44's that that happens too... my scx10 did that too. I also had a hard time getting it out. It probably wasn't posted in, but crooked.

I have the same idea for the fan, scripts, I want to use a small radiator on one fan to cool the motor.

how much power does that fan draw? is it enough air to warrant the extra weight (how heavy is it?) would a bigger fan be better(hey its the American way!)



and finaly, your in Alaska and your having over heating problems?
