1BadJeepBruiser's RC4WD Trail Finder 2 Now with more Bruiser suspension 3/2

Re: 1BadJeepBruiser's RC4WD Trail Finder 2

Sick sick sick...wow good stuff ahead "thumbsup"

Re: 1BadJeepBruiser's RC4WD Trail Finder 2

Curious...what type of hardware is included? Hex?

Do the front axle have clocked knuckles at all to relieve driveline angle or are they at zero with the pumpkin output like the trex 60's?

Re: 1BadJeepBruiser's RC4WD Trail Finder 2

looking good Mike, I'll be keeping an eye on what you do next ;-)

They are not clocked but the drive line angles seem good so far

Re: 1BadJeepBruiser's RC4WD Trail Finder 2

cool, i can't wait to get one of these, soon. but it looks like the front shocks they included are too long, they look like they are almost at full compression in the pics.

Mike BJB took the Internal Springs out of the Shocks and filled them with 30wt Oil instead to get it riding different. With the Springs inplace it sits alot higher

Re: 1BadJeepBruiser's RC4WD Trail Finder 2

I've looked at all of the TF2s that you lucky dawgs got your hands on and i'm liking the rear shock mount. It inspires me to come up with something simillar on my scx10.

To add to what Dready said....The shocks are fine, I opted to remove the internal spring I also left one leaf out of the pack too. I also "worked in" the leafs some before I put them. After I have the electronics in I will adjust the suspension accordingly.

Started painting up the body

Cab is in primer. I had to wet sand the hood after the can of primer had a fit and dripped excess primer all over the hood :roll: I also then sanded out the mold lines in the fender and through some filler on the rear window seams as well.

Satin black freshly sprayed on the grill

Re: 1BadJeepBruiser's RC4WD Trail Finder 2 The OG Brown Yota scaler wannabe

Looks great Mike! I love the throw back paint scheme. "thumbsup"

Re: 1BadJeepBruiser's RC4WD Trail Finder 2 The OG Brown Yota scaler wannabe

Looks great Mike! The color looks different, interior lighting vs. natural light?

Re: 1BadJeepBruiser's RC4WD Trail Finder 2 The OG Brown Yota scaler wannabe

Dez, I think its the lights in the basement however the Brown I originally used was a walmart color choice brand called "walnut" and this is a krylon fusion called "leather brown". Unfortunately the "walnut" brown is discontinued and I sent my last new can to 51WillysJeep when I sold the clone originally :sad:

I have some plans...Dinky interior with tons of details/modifications. 1.55 Stompers and black 1.55 wagons. Ill probably also recreate the armor in metal. I also plan to hack the front bumper and fenders. Gotta get some rice light bulbs to so I can light this sucker up.

Re: 1BadJeepBruiser's RC4WD Trail Finder 2 The OG Brown Yota scaler wannabe

Awesome!

Man, these things are super scale looking!
