I picked up this chassis through the RCC classifieds in late 2015. PIMPNROCKS made the chassis, but I acquired the metal tube chassis, body, interior, and a few scale items from a different RCC member.
The chassis and items sat around the shop for several months waiting for inspiration, parts and time. September 2016 it all came together and I finally built it. The overall truck has stayed the same for the last five months.
Surprisingly I enjoyed driving the truck the first time out on the rocks. I was skeptical because of the front four link and front shock angles, not to mention the large wraith skid, but it's fun to drive. Initially this truck was built with a combo of all new axle parts, used electronics, used plastic driveshafts, pieced together trans, but once I liked this little crawler, the upgrades began.
It's time for a facelift on the 34 Ford and having owned this truck this long, I wanted to share it with the RCC community. Here are the specs as pictured:
Chassis by PIMPNROCKS
Axial Racing AX10 Axles w/ Beef Tubes F/R; Super Shafty Spools F/R; HD Standard gears / front, HD UD gears / rear, Vanquish Product Stage 1 Kit, Vanquish Products VVD's, Vanquish Products 8* Knuckle Weights.
Vanquish Products front upper four link mount & RC Bros Servo Mount, these two items were a huge help and made the front four link and servo install possible without major fabrication. The front suspension cycles and performs consistently.
Lunsford Titanium Upper, Lower, and Steering Links
Proline Shocks front and rear
MIP drive shafts
Axial Racing Trans, Vanquish Products case, Axial Racing Gear Set, Crawler Innovations transmission outputs, standard slipper
Hitec 7954SH steering servo
HH BRXL
HH 40T
Castle Creation BEC
Axial Racing light kit
Parma '34 Ford lexan body
Tractor Supply store box
PL fuel cell
Vaterra Twin Hammers interior
Vanquish Products KMC Enduro XD222 1.9 bead locks; with wide cans; and the KMC Enduro Bead Lock Rings
Crawler Innovations 4.50" Lil Nova Competition Cut Dual Stage Foams;
CWR-2025 front
CWR-2026 rear
RC4WD Mickey Thompson Baja Claw TTC Tires. I cut a new pattern into the tire by removing lugs first. I drove it like that for a while, they worked very well. I decided to narrow the tires to experience the difference in track width. I cut n shut the tire to remove one section of tread to narrow the over all width.
Weight: 7 pounds 10 ounces RTR as pictured
