Default Introduction to my new Blazer

Recently bought this and have wanted one since I saw them released last year. I'm having issues with my Photobucket account but think I have it figured out now so I've only got one pics right now. So far the mod list is short but here goes! Pretty tame and boring right now. I'm waiting for a new receiver from Traxxas to get here before I run it. Is functional right now with my Emaxx Receiver.


1. MyTrickRC LED kit
2. Traxxas Metal Servo arm
3. Traxxas Push Bar

I have an SSD winch bumper and a Warn 9.5cti winch coming for the front of it. I've had a couple of RC4wd wireless winch controllers for a few years so finally get to put one of them to use. I'd eventually like some new rims and tires. I really like the kit wheels but am considering the RC4wd rally rims. Thinking either Axial BFG's or PL KM3's. Really want raised white letters for some reason. I also want to paint a different colored body so it doesnt look like everyone elses rig. Thinking Lime Ice Green and white in the factory 2 tone. Would prefer brown and white but cant seem to find any in a rattlecan.

Very cool! Congrats! I love these trucks too. Wish they had come out before I bought the Bronco!

The RC4WD rally wheels would look great. These would look good too and they're cheap!

Got the bumper and winch today. Gotta sort out the winch controller. I think the batteries are shot. Here's some pics!





Personally I love it!!!

Looking good. Are we really even done with mods on your trucks....I think not lol. Love the blazer, really want to and it to my collection one day. But again do we really need another trx4 in the house. I've got my defender, the boy has his bronco and the wife has her defender. Love the old classic bfg all terrains. Good looking tire.

The new color looks great. Nice job.

Your photos are much too large though. Please resize them. Your photos of when the Blazer was still orange is fine. It's only the mustard photos that are too large. Maximum photo size on this site is 1200x1200. Thank you.
