Hello all. This is my first post here. Still pretty new to the crawling side of RC. Here is a pic of my TRX4 with a VW bug body. Sand Scorcher paint scheme. I call it the "Trail Scorcher"

Looks great. Which body is that? The Proline? What wheel base is the TRX4?

Did get out with the VW.. all went quite well, no car problems except the front end "pushing out" a bit on full lock, maybe caster?? Trial cut a little short as you may see


side hilling seems good


I mean goodish !



cut short.. and it wasn't me!!

Looks great out in the moorlands! I like the "goodish" side hilling. Hope that fire wasn't coming your way. What wipers did you put on that thing?

Cheers eh,

Todd

I like the paint job Ernie! That'll go well on the TRX4 chassis.

Yes, Todd its great up there in a disused quarry, and I didn't wait around to see where the fire went ! Wipers, I'm almost certain, where an HPI accessory kit but where in a mix of stuff, nice small fitting..the mirrors are certainly HPI.
