|  A Trail King for Trailing
Here it is, the replacement for my Trail Honcho. Funny thing is the day after my Honcho found a new home, I found a newly built Trail King locally for a deal I could not pass up. There is not a scratch on the belly or the links, and the way the rocks are here, I will say it has only been driven inside if at all. Then I was thinking... It hurt. But what truck needs a Chevy V8? It would be sacrilegious to put a Ford body over the obvious Chevy engine, So my Bronco is out. Then it hit me, Literally A old Hilux body fell off the shelf and hit me when I was digging through a stack of bodies.   In order for the body to sit low enough I enlarged the factory hole on the hood of the ancient Tamiya body. Now the air cleaner sits out in the open and I have t strap the body down some how without adding more holes.... Last edited by lonleycreeper; 03-26-2021 at 09:04 PM. |

Nice! I like what you did with the air filter sticking out rather than just taking it off the motor. I can't wait to get my Trail King!!  |

I can't wait to get her out on the trail/rocks. She is a solid feeing truck, very rigid frame and very smooth shocks... I found a front bumper I like...  | ||

Just discovered, the Firma 40 esc uses the same programing card as the Hobby wing 1080! Some settings changed, and :thumbsup: |

The first run at White Water park went well. This little rig climbs things my F150 only dreams of! I love it...  https://youtu.be/VjD3vcFJhhE |

I am looking forward to it! I’m going to slap and hardbody on it, going for more high up scale trail truck/tow rig rather than low down crawler. _________________ 79 F150 SCX10 ii TRXWalker | |
