My take on a TF2.....

[kalani]

This is a build that I've been working on for a while. It may look like I am taking cues from the new Marlin Crawler edition that is out now but this build was started a couple of weeks ago. I'm just lazy to post anything and only recently been starting up again on instagram. In fact this is my first true "build" thread here. This is the list of parts I have so far:

TF2 Chassis
RC4wd shooter shackles
Custom leaf mounts/shackles
GCM LRT2 Trans w/ SCX mount
RC4wd K44 axles w/ ARB covers
RC4wd 90mm King shocks
SCX10 aftermarket rear shock hoops
LockedUp RC beadlocks
Team Ottsix Racing Voodoo KLR MT-X 4.19" tires
Crawler Innovation foams
Custom bobbed Yota body w/ full interior
Rc4wd metal sliders/rear bumper
Wertymade bumper
Tekin 45t pro motor

Check the pics-

-Using aftermarket SCX rear shock hoops for the front. Enough height to use 90mm shocks and more mounting holes if I want to run double shocks in the front. Also used Tamiya Bruiser leaf mounts to move the shackles to the rear position.

-Trying to use Stainless Steel hardware thru out and did the Chino mod to all the leafs.

-Notched the front mount for the stock bumper brackets so that I could key in the Wertymade bumper.

Some close ups of how I mounted the GCM LRT2 tranny. This is a thing of beauty and was very easy to mount. A couple of servo mounts attached to the front and a long screw with a sleeve connected to the SCX10 mount bracket turned to the side is all it takes. Looks a bit flimsy but it's very solid.

Now for the body. I was lucky enough to get this body off a member here and am very happy with what I got. Bobbed bed, custom interior and nice paint job. Nicer than I could ever do. People have asked if this is a Marlin Crawler body painted but it is not, although the dimensions of the bed could be spot on.

And for the flex shots...

Now just waiting for parts and time to complete this rig. Can't wait to get it on the rocks.

For your shocks, what is your set up? Nice progress so far !!

RC4wd 90mm King shocks with 30 wt. oil.

Very nice! Looks like that tranny moves the mass down lower!
Do you know what material was used for the seats?

That is an awesome looking truck! Is that a Bruiser body? I love the color.

Beautiful truck! I love the way those KLRs look on there. It's interesting that you're running them "backwards". I thought about trying that with my KLRs, but I haven't.
