The screws holding the leafs... take the screws thread them from the bottom and use locknuts on top. Tighten the nuts down and back them off 1/4 turn or so. It will help with the flex.

Thank ya sir..

now if Rc4wd would just get restocked on what I need for the axles..

[eric113]

I been told to skip the red leafs. Try building your own leafs. Start collecting different sets and build one that works for your truck.

Ultimately.. if you can track down chino63 military wrap springs those would be the best setup.

Love the color and wheel & tire combo! Just needs scale hardware everywhere.

[ROLANDROCKSHOP]

I couldn't wait to get it rolling...

so I used what electrics I had on hand till I get the elec on spec list.


cc micro sidewinder / cc bec 6.3v
Hpi X re 30t motor
OmG 275oz servo for steering / 645mg shifter servo

Outside in my Rc Orv test grounds..





















Love it so far!!

[ROLANDROCKSHOP]

Took the TF2 out today to flex the springs...

checking out a new crawl spot.














the leafs take some getting used to..
the 2spd is just too nice,esc,motor never got warm or hot..cool.

the 1.55 stompers aren't bad..
but..
I cant wait to get those 1.55 growlers on here.
Just got to decide on beadlock..??

[ROLANDROCKSHOP]

the new spot..






spent 3hrs and didn't cover half of it..
so many waterways and channels just right for crawlers.

[raceeng18]

Great looking spot, I wish I had some of that moss rock for my ongoing landscape project.

Gonna use the body I have now as a trail beater body.
And fix up the Mojave body that came with for more scale details.
