Eric’s New TF2 with Functional Wipers, Diamond Plate Bed and Lights

[ScaleAlert]

Hey guys, Eric from Toronto, Canada here. Got a TF2 at the local hobby store and built it up. This is my first scale truck and I’m loving this sexy babe. I was going to get a Tamiya Bruiser but it’s twice the price of the TF2. So, I got a TF2 and an Axial SCX10 Dingo. My TF2 features:

-Functional wipers (ordered from R2hobbies.com)
-Two Traxxas waterproof servos
-Traxxas XL-5 ESC
-RC4WD 35t motor
-RC4WD red wireless winch
-Lighting system (Brakes, Turning signals, Headlights)
-Flysky FS-GT3B 3 channel radio and receiver
-Toyota windshield banner
-Toyota body stripes graphics (black and grey)
-Toyota Lettering Kit
-Integy Rover Style Wheels and Tires
-Tamiya License Plates
-RC4WD diamond plate for the bed
-Aluminum foil on the side mirrors

I also have the Dinky RC interior kit which I have yet to install. I am very happy with this truck. It’s beautiful, sexy and cool. I’ve heard everyone say that the SCX10 is better in performance but man the TF2 is the most scale truck I think there is on the market and is my favourite. I’m also very happy to be part of this forum. "thumbsup"

nice start. some advice, if you like, get youself some small black zip ties to secure that wiring.
Also even more important if you didnt do it you really need to open the axles, transfer case and transmission and grease them. they wont have more than a token just enough to shut the gears up not stop them wearing out.

enjoy the hobby.

I forgot to paint the rear lenses before installing them on the truck. I need to do that. What paint do you guys use?

Tamiya clear orange X-26, clear red X-27.
