tekin fxr crawler combo with a 45t motor
hitec 7955tg servo

2s lipo.

I plan on fabbing up some rear shock hoops and running the hot racing air shocks
3/4 link suspension

and a set of pitbull tires.

i plan on doing some local scale comps, im hoping i can get this thing to handle like my old scx10

Looks good 1320king, I like the color. I've linked mine as well. They are nice trail rigs for sure.

Re: my tf2 build
 

thanks. I cant wait to finish it

Re: my tf2 build
 

Looks great! I think I have that exact color on my D90.

Re: my tf2 build
 

got a little done today.

I didn't like where the battery sits on the chassis so i moved it forward over the transmission using some old spoiler mounts from my drift car. this should help with weight on the front end as well.

Smart thinking on the battery mount!

You might want to lose one of the two front bumpers. Looks a little weird otherwise.

Re: my tf2 build
 

Man!! I thought I was the only one that noticed that. A lot of people leave that stock chrome bumper under metal bumpers, I never understood why. Maybe it's just an oversight?



To the OP, I really like that color, nice choice.

Re: my tf2 build
 

I've noticed this as well. I choose to run with just the plastic body bumper for just the scale looks of the truck, but have the bumper mount ready to accept the metal bumper when I go crawling.

Re: my tf2 build
 

I have both bumpers on mine but cut the outer bumper off right where it meets the chrome bumper. I have my winch mounted to the outer bumper. I think mine turned out really good.

Re: my tf2 build
 

You know you can adjust the outer bumper out some. It is adjustable.

Re: my tf2 build
 

I just posted mine in the photo archive if you want to see it. Its the sandy almond colored one on a sand pile. Such a fun truck.

Re: my tf2 build
 

i personally like how it looks with both bumpers. i took the factory one off to see if i liked it better but its too plain looking

Re: my tf2 build
 

Nice rig! My TF2 kit will be here this week, can't wait to tear into it!

Re: my tf2 build
 

made some progress on the tf2. moved the radio box onto the electronics plate. installed my rear 4 link set up and switched over to the axial style shock hoops for more articulation.

waiting on my 3 link set up from rc4wd and im def going to put a set of better shocks on her. the stock ones are too short. any suggestions on what brand? I like to run a full droop set up
