Another Enduro

[mk3jetta]

Took it out today with the Ifs, definitely a learning curve involved. Truck performs pretty well, front end is just a tad stiff but I think with some adjustments it'll be very cool. Definitely seems durable though, and looks really cool on the trails

The local guys had a sand drag and I went to play photographer, had to at least take something cool looking

Made it out today to the sand drags and got a little more trail time in with the enduro, added a rear sway bar and it helped a lot, really got the front end working well. It also seems to be softening up as it gets used, and is working pretty well at this point. Got my first hands on time with a 10.3 as well, they're kind of neat, like them a lot better than I liked the 10.2s. Also buffed the 1:1 rig, so the paint is way off now haha.

Got some new rads on the truck that I've had eyes on for a long time, rc4wd t-runners. Also got some tires to try, I've never been a big proline fan but the guys local to me love them. Trying some pitbull foams too because I've yet to try a set. If they don't work out I'll swap to the old reliable lil novas.

Appreciate it guys! I'm really happy with how it came out besides a few small things, the paint adhesion wasn't the best unfortunately. That and I hate beating it up too badly because it looks cool

Put some front inner fenders in the truck, between the sway bar and the hilux bed I haven't had luck trying to fit the rears.

Couple updates to the truck lately, added the bowhouse Ifs steering rack (It's awesome), did a foam swap to some little novas, put the higher Od gear set in it, and pretty much shelved it. Also redoing my tf2, body choice should be obvious at this point.

They both look great. How do the 2 bodies size next to each other for proportions?

rc4wd is much more scale, it's a good bit longer overall even with almost identical wheelbase. The proline's are pretty much bobbed out of the box

[Phildirt]

Yeah I'd be too tempted to put the rc4wd body on the IFS chassis. Would look uber scale.

I can agree on the bobbed look of the Prolines. The Colorado body is the same way. (Actually thought it was messed up proportion wise until I released it is an extended cab long box lol.)

The element ifs setup tends to be really wide under them, I really wanted a tall and skinny stock looking truck with the tf2. Plus it being basically a shelf queen it looks cooler with the yota axles and skinnys. Seen a couple people do the ifs setup under them, it definitely looks pretty close to the toyota setup up front

Yeah when krawler konceptz did the decals for the proline they were way weird to figure out trying to go off the real truck, I'm curious to see how the ones for the rc4wd body turn out because the proportions will be much closer to the real truck.
