Added a Trailrunner to the fleet

Well this is my 3rd Element. I have wanted to try an IFS truck for a while, and with the sale, Amain discount code and points I could not pass it up. Not sure where this build is going to go, time will tell. Part of me want to convert it to a Knightrunner.

This thing arrived on Wednesday, and I finally had some time to open it up. I was pleasantly surprise to see the color is a burnt orange, and not a bright orange. It is still a lot of orange and needs something to tone it down.

I've been eyeing that too, very very tempting.

Had a little time after work to get the body accessories install, and a short run. I think I found a home for this set rims and tires.

Next on the list will be the 11% UD gears and a HH550 can 27T motor, and a new receiver.

Looks great! I like the burnt orange look and it has been my favorite version, but it does need some other detail or maybe vinyl wrap to tone it down a bit.

Wheels and tires look good and fit the look!

The Trailrunner has been on my radar ever since they were released. I guess I should pick one up before they are discontinued.

I received the Bowhouse upgrade parts for the IFS. When I had everything ripped apart, things changed. I installed the IFS into the SE. To make it fit, I had to swap out the 550 can motor for a 540 can.

Well this truck has been sitting on the bench to long missing a front axle. Picked up some diamond axles, front links, GK front shock towers and panhard mount. I had the Comanche body for another project that I lost interest in. Picked up the rear cage and chopped the front of the bed off to fill in the gap where the cage mounts. Right now it is sitting on class 1 hyrax tires. Parts arrived yesterday so I can covert to the XF transmission. This should allow room for an interior.
