| My new to me Tf2
Hi all, after wanting one for quite some time I ended up buying a used tf2 off of a friend for a pretty good deal, it's only been ran a few times and I put the first dirt to it. So far the truck is pretty much stock, I added a hackmoto 35t and removed some stickers. Plans for the truck at this point are a bobbed bed, sr5 decals, maybe a slight gearing change and some steel driveshafts. I want something that's fun for light trail use and will keep up in most situations with out of box scx's since my overbuilt scx isn't much fun to run around here. Some pictures of the truck, and one of my scx10. _MG_2675 by Kolben Hillbery, on Flickr _MG_2781 by Kolben Hillbery, on Flickr _MG_2778 by Kolben Hillbery, on Flickr _MG_2775 by Kolben Hillbery, on Flickr _MG_2766 by Kolben Hillbery, on Flickr _MG_2764 by Kolben Hillbery, on Flickr _MG_2769 by Kolben Hillbery, on Flickr |

Nice pickup...I like the way it looks. These are great little trucks. If you haven't already checked out the TF2 guide on the RC4WD Forum and stickied here, definitely give it a read. Your goal of getting it to be able to hang with a stock SCX10 is very achievable even with leafs, and it will be much more fun to wheel along the way. |

Lovely little truck! So far with the O-Ring mod, little leaf on the bottom, main leaf, and than the medium leaf on top, aswell as no springs in the shock bodies I've been extremely happy. I don't see a need to make the suspension on the truck any softer than that setup. To each there own, but I'd do those two cheap mods and see how you feel afterwards. Especially after a good hour or two of breaking in the leafs

Got my red leafs today, installed them with the stock long leaf as a helper. Seems to have less wheel hop and more down travel this way, and they haven't sagged out as much (yet?) Can anyone recommend drive shafts? They feel like they're about to fall apart 20170421_171154 by Kolben Hillbery, on Flickr |

Got to mess with the truck some today, seems to work much better than the sagged out stock singles by themselves. _MG_2804 by Kolben Hillbery, on Flickr _MG_2814 by Kolben Hillbery, on Flickr _MG_2808 by Kolben Hillbery, on Flickr |

Spent the day messing with trucks with a friend, got his newly acquired Ruptor running and put my new Krawler Konceptz plate on the Tf2. _MG_2945 by Kolben Hillbery, on Flickr _MG_2946 by Kolben Hillbery, on Flickr _MG_2943 by Kolben Hillbery, on Flickr _MG_2936 by Kolben Hillbery, on Flickr |

Installed a boom racing high clearance transfer case mount tonight, makes a huge difference under the truck from the old land anchor. 20170616_174220 by Kolben Hillbery, on Flickr 20170616_174857 by Kolben Hillbery, on Flickr 20170616_174906 by Kolben Hillbery, on Flickr 20170616_175816 by Kolben Hillbery, on Flickr 20170616_180951 by Kolben Hillbery, on Flickr 20170616_180428 by Kolben Hillbery, on Flickr |

Ended up putting the tube bumper on for now with the winch and controller from my scx10, looking into metal bumpers but haven't decided on one yet. Also put in an rc4wd light kit, running them off a 9v with a microswitch. 20170825_185628 by Kolben Hillbery, on Flickr 20170825_195743 by Kolben Hillbery, on Flickr 20170825_195724 by Kolben Hillbery, on Flickr |
