This should be a nice build. I'm loving the new body from RC4WD

[Itali83]

Can't wait! Go with the slot wheels. Super sexy on my ascender. 1.55's will probably fit yours better though.

Got one more piece of the puzzle. And got some scale hardware from locked up.. I didn't want to Massacre a truck I have in building stages to build the new blazer. so I bought the new TRF2 kit...much smaller box..

[Lost_Frequency]

Are you doing the whole truck with scale hardware?

as much as I can. trying to keep as scale, as the model kit as possible. was one of my favorite models when I was young.

wanted to build a rc version for a very long time

Can you add a list of what you use I've been wanting to do my whole trail finder with locked up hardware but I don't know where to start, I've done my 3rd members on my yota 1 axles an also my winch an fairlead I'm addicted now oh I also run his 1.9 rims an of course they are loaded with scale hardware

Yes, have 2..and will get more if I need them.

AND It Begins... Trail finder 2 locked up scale hardware..
Looks real good..!

[lappdogg]

Got the chassis together.. Looks great with the locked up hardware..I will be changing the axles to K44s and the U bolt kit...latter on..

Had a problem with the leaf springs being too long and had some shorter ones I used instead.. Had to make some spacers to use the same hardware.. Kit comes with shoulder bolts..

I'm pleased so far....

[lappdogg]

Better watch out now boys.. There's a new Sheriff in town boys..

[ETM]

[lappdogg]

Got the Mini me Blazer 1/24 monogram Sheriff's Blazer..
I will duplicate as much as possible..
1/24 sitting on super size blazer!!

Wheels and tires! GCM slotted mags..(will be getting a new set with 6 lugs)

[lappdogg]

Small update... Reconfigured leaf spring mounts to be more scale to real truck.. Moved shackles from front to rear.. And moved servo mount more forward.. It will be hidden as a radiator and fan shroud.

There will also be a radiator support also...to be more scale.

[eddievedder]

So awesome! I love the Sheriff theme

[lappdogg]

Is this scale enough for you?
Well is it?

[W1ck3d0n3]

Man this is such a sexy blazer. I have a set of 1:1 versions of those rims.

[BadWagon]

The whole build is really coming along, looks great. Those brakes are insane! Any more info on them?

they where for a touring car. i modified them a little..not complete doen with them but there close.

got a nice low profile servo for steering duties..Spektrum S6230 311oz of Torque!! servo mount was moved forward to make room for v8 and pulleys..before you could not use pulleys.


the K44s wont work with v8 trans, the pumpkin is on wrong side for drive shaft alignment. and IS not scale to my 1/24 model..(orange part)


so i went with yota 2s and the bolt cover...not as scale correct as i wanted but best i could do...other than have a new k44 made with pumpkin on other side.


spent some time on grille today...milled it out for super scale real. be cause this is a police truck i wanted 2 lights behind grille..and there will be radiator and rad Support..scale to match 1/24 model


think i did a great job..!!! still got to clean it up with exato..


looking very very good!!!!
