Congrats! Welcome to the site!

This 1/10 scale crawling stuff can be very addictive.

I moved your thread to the RC4WD Trail Finder 2 section because it fits better there and it will probably get more attention that way.

Great looking Marlin!

These are fun rigs, but they have issues out of the box. Check out some of the build threads to get the info you need to make it even better.

In my Marlin thread I explain what I had to do to mine: B-MOW buys a TF2 Marlin Crawler

Update on some little upgrades and mods I did. Holmes sport 550 motor 15T. Changed the plugs to Danes connections and took out the springs in the shocks.

Nice Choice, you need work to make it work well, but it's the prettiest part and then when you use it everything gets better.

Enjoy it !!

Coming along nicely bubs, be sure to check out Bowhouse RC and A&M garage... they make a couple popular performance enhancing drugs for the TF2.

The rear shackle from Bowhouse is important as it fixes an issue with spring bind if you over flex the leaf pack it collapses the rear shackle and binds.
The front shackle reversal kit is cool too.
