Rubicon : EVO PREDATOR TRACKS !!!!!!

F-250: got new beadlocks+tires

Hey everyone,

Ive recently got into the rc world & have been working on a mega build with my 2 axial scx10's. I have got a a jeep wranger and a f-250 honcho. I have come up with 2 builds and they should be done within the next couple months. since my part of the world sees a lot of snow this time of year I decided to have a winter themed build which will include rc4wds new snowplow and predator tracks.

The jeep will be getting predator tracks in the mail in the next couple weeks.
so far its quite stock other then led lights, vanquish light bar, rc4wd front bumper, and a set of Krawler Koncepts licence plates which are my favorite so far! other additions to this will be R2J sliders, krawler koncepts jk kit, carter fab rear armor with cutouts, rc4wd winch and a brushless setup.

The honcho will be my tow rig with rc4wd big dog trailer & snowplow.
so far It has 55t novak motor, goat esc, proline f-250 cab, Tamiya 350 mirrors, axial metal link kit, Tourqe RC hitch which ive mounted axial rock lights for to move the tail lights. it also has few little accessories here and there. The upcoming mods will be vanquish bar mounted to the snow plow, krawler koncepts licence plates, dick cepek 1.9s, and of course the long awaited snowplow and trailer.

I will be updating this thread as I get the parts in the mail. when I am fully done my project I will be making a youtube video in the snow. id love to hear youre feedback on my builds. so far ive had great communication working with tourqe rc , krawler koncepts, carter fab, & r2j. you guys all do amazing work and am very satisfied with there customer service!

pics are below & happy crawling everyone!

stay tuned for updates!

Finally got some shocks for the f-250, beadlocks should be arriving soon for it. Anyone know the best way to remove stock tires from wheels? Got my monster f-650 2.2 build in the background

Soak them in acetone and pull them off the crap non-beadlock wheels. Replace your foams while youre at it.

Another method is to boil them in a pot of water..My stock trepadors actually come off with just a little coaxing to get it started..Ive only done one so far but didn't do anything but peel them a little at a time..Hoping I get lucky with the other 3 I need to do now..lol...I guess the downside of dry peeling them is you can tear a bead but I may have just gotten lucky.

Boil water drop them in then take them off the rim.

Also finished the front of the f-250 today here's the outcome ... Sorry about the crap pic lol
