Improving TF2

[raulaureliom]

Hi guys,

Here's my TF2. I have a HH combo, castle bec, hightec servos, RR pinion, revolver shackles, one leaf, 100mm shocks, front bumper, ssd beadlocks with BFG mud terrains etc...

I'm trying to improve the crawling capability of my TF2... Here's a pic from yesterday. I gave up on the leafs and ordered a link setup and steel shafts that should be arriving next weekend. Also once the links are installed I will be taking off the grill and rising the bumper.

Also... Has anyone had issues with the receiver box being too small? I'm using futaba receiver and is too big for the box...

Any more ideas ?

Thanks !

The point of my TF2 was scale crawling vs hardcore flexing. Leaf springs can only flex so much till the shackle hits the frame or it reverses on its self so you can't do much about that. Links will flex like crazy but that takes away the scale factor of the tf2 and you might as well of just bought a SCX10 builders kit and a Yota body to save money.

All I have is 2 soft Leafs in the front and rear and mine uses all the shock travel available no problem. I don't use any of those shackle revolvers or anything either because it doesn't look scale.

Not much to improve on since most of your build has upgraded parts anyways.

Welcome to RCC!

Yes RX box is kinda small, but I only put the rx inside of it, running HW1080 which is waterproof.

Agreed.

Revolver, shackle stuff just screws up the crawl ability, raises COG, and waste of money. I'm running all leafs on mine front and rear, but staightened/bent all leaves to proper curvature (and even with each other which they were not). Don't over-tighten leaf spring retaining screws as this limits travel, remember this is a scale crawler. Read the stickies at top of TF2 section!
