| Rivas concepts Trail Finder 2
2 days after being in stock and its at my door..! (thanks Rpp hobby) First time I seen this truck online it made me think of my first car, 1983 Toyota Sr5 truck. It was stock, after attending an easter jeep safari in moab utah I was hooked on rock crawling. So the Sr5 was built to take on rocks but still look good. This will be my build. (Ill post better pics of my 1:1 when I have time) http:// My truck had the white Sr5 stripes that I removed and this was end result. http:// http:// Last edited by Rivas Concepts; 02-24-2012 at 11:19 PM. |

So I slacked on this entire truck and running it stock as can be excepte wheels and tires. I broke the rear drive line today in low range just popping the throttle. But I am amazed how well it does. Some video if you havent seen any of this truck. Also has Erbings Tf2,built very scale compared to mine. http:// |

Yea people are commenting after seeing it perform, like they are on the fence about what it can do. Ill do more vids with it. It is pretty impressive though. I like it,I own an scx10 also, but been puttin this through the paces lately. Glad you like the video, thanks I appreciate the feedback.

Oh yeah, a TF2 needs to be in the quiver now. Dear Santa... Still looking for a 4th gen 4Runner body to match my 1:1 though. |
