Default Tf2 going for broke

So I feel my tf2 is fragile. It scratches, detail pieces break, mirrors break off etc etc etc. So It must be I dont drive it right or take care of it. So be it I am just going to keep going all out with it. It started out nice.!Its actually great at climbing fully leafed. Maybe the super swampers have something to do with it. Regardless watch, it does well.

I like it. Been thinking of getting one but was worried about poor performance. You video shows it can do a little something.

Honestly I was worried when I got it and thought I would use it like a class 1 rig, just trail riding. The tf2 was built to run to an extent. The body takes some abuse and I did primer 2 base and a clear. No complaints about suspension or drive train. It comes with some options for leafs. I only used a single leaf, I like wheel travel.

Same here.

I thought about if I do get one. Making some 5-6mm lift blocks under the springs, running one leaf or buying the way over priced red soft springs.

Im glad its holding up. I know myself and there is no way I will be able to drive like a class 1 trail rig.

I think these springs are doing well. Lol yea it was wishful thinking I could run class one only with it. If you check out my other videos we really dont have any class 1 runs. Check out "Crawling calico Las vegas" by rockman84 they are in LVSC and the black tf2 has a body lift and spring lift I believe.

Cool video
She looks to climb pretty darn well. Looks like you have your foams just right for the rocks.

Your editing was a tad bit off though.....Your video started with no mirrors On the rig, but ended with a nice undamaged pair of side views

Lol I dont edit in order. I just put the end stuff because this video was short. I usually edit by how the trucks look. In a few other videos you can see the are not in order either. One truck climbing with a second behind, but the one behind was on video climbing a minute ago. lol
