| RC4WD Trail Finder 2 for Stacey David's GearZ
Back in March Tom at RC4WD asked me to build up a Trail Finder 2 that would be featured on Stacey David's Gearz. Needless to say, I was stoked. This truck was to be built up with some of the hop-up parts and scale accessories RC4WD has to offer. It was fun being able to work with all the upgrades in one build. Here are a couple of pictures of the build. Getting body situated. I used the full cab back on this. Paint Inner fenders and electronics I hand cut the decals from adhesive vinyl The show aired last night. Here's a clip for those that didn't see the segment.

First off, great looking truck. I sat down to watch the show then some UN-announced company stopped bye so I missed the segment. Thanks for posting the link. Now tell me about the wheels, they make the trucks paint really POP. Thank you.

Thank you. They are just made from a few pieces of styrene. To make the curved part I just rolled it in my hands for a bit so it would keep the shape. Here are a few more pictures of the truck with my TF2. | ||

Great job on the truck. I wish I knew you were doing this, I would have loved to make a Stacey look alike driver for it. |

Awesome build. So does Stacey get to keep the TF2? Those wheels are amazing. Hope they keep making 1.7 wheels and tires. |

That was an awesome truck build! I managed to catch the show a few seconds before he started talking about scale. Thanks a bunch for posting the link. It was cool to watch again and even cooler to see upclose pics. |

Serious props on the build and the fact they contacted you out of anyone. The truck looks great and the clip was cool as well.
