|  A Grim RC4WD TF2 **With Video**
Got my order in and my TF2 shipped toady and will be here Monday! I plan on using electronics from some of my other RC's. 1. Novak Rooster Crawler ESC 2. 35T Teken motor 3. Hitec servo for steering 4. Futaba servo for shiting 5. 2s lipo Not the best electronics but it is what I can afford for the time being. I am lucky the wife let me buy the kit  Last edited by Grumpster1980; 04-27-2012 at 08:52 PM. |

I had a Tamiya light set not in use and added it to the truck. Just head and tail lights for now.   |

Hate it! But only because it's finished and mine isn't .But seriously, nice job on the rig and lighting. Thanks for the motivation to finish mine .I got mine in the "first wave" of orders, and it came with 2 driver's side knuckles installed (one upside down). A quick picture and e-mail to RC4WD, and a complete new front axle was at my doorstep. That is customer service! Last edited by TrailDawg362; 04-19-2012 at 11:58 AM. |

Looks nice, the dark blue is hopyfully photographed in the sunlight soon ?! A shame it's only indoors. Do you have any tire rubbing problems as it seems you only installed the main leaf on the front axle ? | |

Would like to see yours when it's done! Quote:
I hear you, I have not had time to get outside with my truck, but soon I promise! No tire rubbing, I used the main spring + a small one in the front and rears. It's a little stiff but I plan on running on trails and what not. Thanks for the comments! Last edited by Grumpster1980; 04-19-2012 at 12:30 PM. | ||

I kind of like the look of the paint. Kind of a blue camo look.
