Hello gang, it's been a while since I was playing with toy cars and taking pictures of my characters doing work. Lots of things have changed over the years, it's amazing how many manufacturers and items are available today. Maybe you remember my entertaining build threads ?
My New Bronco
The Rock Cop
Crunk Rock volume 2
Crunky's Fronty-Jero
Crunks Red Wrangler rebuild
I've been looking to get back into the hobby but this time a little quicker than the scalers I used to run. I've been a big fan of U4 and the Hammers series for years so finding something similar was the goal. I am lucky enough to have scored a Rock Rey, so bam !!! I'm baaaack.
( this time no dolls folks, sorry. )
It's a kit, so building this should be a treat.
I've been acquiring parts for it, and have scored a few bonus items.
Traxxas screw mod for the diffs
Valterra front locker for center diff
Exotek front gearbox set
Hot racing third member
Hot racing alloy steering
Hot racing upper link mount
Mamba X
Castle slate 2850
Savox SW1210-SG
Spektrum DX5 with SRS6000
Crawler innovations 6 hole wheels
Proline BFG KO2 tires
Rocklube formula 2 circa 2011
I'm stoked how smooth this kit goes together, the fit and finish is top quality stuff. I guess 3D printing has taken over the life of the old plastic trees. No more fixing yourself up with stiches because of a rogue X-acto knife.
Thankfully this site is loaded with historical knowledge, and because of that I have a few tricks up my sleeve to throw at my Rock Rey to give it that Crunky touch. Thank you to everyone that's shared tips, tricks, info and pics here at RCC. It's nice to see this place still alive and very active after all these years, high five !!!
Ok, now I've got my intro out of the way... I promise it will be mostly pics
I got the front diff built and i threw the 1 million weight diff lube in the front. I had read that many guys run this setup with good results so I figured I'd try my luck. I did the screw mod to the diff with the dremel stone and some light machine oil, worked awesome for me it just takes a little time. It's all so nicely packaged in the Exotek housing.
