Default Jimbo_wa's Trekker F-150

Recently got a Losi Micro Crawler from eBay, didn't like the Toyota body it came with but found a nice F-150 in a local Supermarket for £10 just before Christmas.

Just need to organise the body mount magnets and a bit of electrickery and she'll be a runner!

Got the body fixings sorted along with some pretty severe trimming of the arches due to the full droop setup...



Glued on some sliders on the sides and rear to match the 1/35th F-150



Went a bit to town with the electrics and body mounting as I wanted to get a decent sized Lipo into the cab area

It was a Dino Hunter set here in the UK with a bloke, trailer, ATV and Dino - not particular brand I'm afraid!

Swapped out the links as they were a bit 'stiff' and took a hot poker to the HR shocks to loosen them up too - all links are free now and happier with a cut down bit of spring in the shock bodies for a little bounce
