RC4WD 1/10 Trail Finder 2 Kit w/Mojave II Hard Body ( PROBLEMS )
 
Just ordered this kit
The new trail finder 2 kit
I have seen some pictures of it on other forums
Back lights not fit5ing in correctly with the body
Seems like they changed the shaped of the tail gate
And forget to changed the shaped of those tail lights



Anybody else have this new mojave tf2 kit?
Was wondering if all new tf2 kits have the same problems


My appologies
For those reading this thread
I would like to think of my self as an honest guy
So i would like to correct everything i have said on this thread
There is really nothing wrong with the tf2 kit
Its some minor flaws and i made a big deal out of it

Read on and see what i meant

The bulge at the bottom is an easy fix as I noted on the other forum. Trim the body mounting posts some and it will not be an issue. As for the lens issue, I have contacted a couple people to see what can be done as far as modifying them to fit better.

This is the curve issue that is being mentioned. The above picture shows the mounts that need to be trimmed to get the body to fit properly.

I love my tf2 but im not spending that much cash to make things "fit" that are supposed to fit straight from the box if thats the case i might as well do a scratchbuild looks like quality control was asleep at the switch.

Wow, I've been eyeing this kit....but wth? Quality, fit and finish should improve over time.

The fix for this is pretty easy, but I expect QC to catch this kinda stuff.

Does this affect the rtr version as well ?

No one has seen the RTR versions with the new body yet. I don't believe they are due out for a while.

Re: RC4WD 1/10 Trail Finder 2 Kit w/Mojave II Hard Body ( PROBLEMS )
 
I believe by the time the rtr comes out
This issue would of been taken cared of

I like my rc4wd but this got me worried
Specially i have never worked with styrenes before
Im going to try work with styrene and try to make it work
Maybe itll give me more confident to work with styrenes
And get that rc4wd 6x6 hehehe

Thanks pretty much doesn't affect my purchase anyway since I plan on switching to the Tamiya F-350 body but it's still good to know I'll be able to use the stock body as well .

My Taillights stick out much more on the new TF2 than they do on the old TF2... the orange one is the older model and the brown one is the newer. I even switched the lens and same result...

I think th3 problem with the body is to much curved in
You need to glue something under to keep it open a bit

Could be, I didn't notice much problem mounting the body to the chassis, but I installed a body lift kit upside down to lower it instead. I wish I had noticed the light issue before I had painted it, it would have been easy to fix.

Has anyone asked the company about the issues?

Wow this is terrible! RC4WD has lost many customers due to the lack of inventory, lack of customer service, and lack of quality control. I thought they were trying to get things under control. This is just inexcusable!

Man that's a bummer! The TF2 has been OOS for a while and now that it's finally back they have issues.. I hope they get it sorted quickly.
