Oh and the Panhard mount on the front shock tower flex’s well too much for my liking, so I’ve got a set SSD SCX10ii Towers on the way, I had to order them from RC Mart because my usually supplier in the UK had no stock

FINALLY got to open the new truck. Can't wait to get building!

Been done, but unboxing published.

The body looks great with a proper Ranger 3D grill. Pics are from Carterfab.

Think it is a modified stock grill with a RC4WD Ford emblem.

Correct, a gimmick in scale/crawler applications.

Sweet, trail picture and report please!
As soon as the rig is in a situation where TT becomes evident most of the load is already on the rear tires. At that point the pinion gear is trying to climb the ring gear and the front tires have little to no traction resulting in TT and counter rotating driveshafts do nothing. Its just another feature on the marketing checklist.

On flat ground with equal traction at all 4 corners it theoretically should work? However, as soon as you put enough power to the ground for TT to become evident you no longer have equal traction at all 4 corners.

Then the portal axles make more sense here. Better than counter rotation gearbox.

Does Junfac ship out of Korea? Does anyone have any experience ordering from them?

I’ve used them a few times over the years with zero fuss, I’ve just ordered the black exterior parts and mirror inserts, the shipping to the UK was $3, make sure you select Korean post and not EMS....

Their shipping to the states are pretty much little difference between EMS and Korean Post for me.

That’s sucks, I’m guessing RC Mart will have the parts soon, what’s their shipping like to the US?

If you want cheap just choose the Registered mail, a bit slower but very reliable. Value for money. 20++ days to America my guess.
