RC4WD T-Finder RTR at a glance:

Packaging and unboxing....

hence the shipping label from Hong Kong.. all the kits come from here ;-( not the US!!

boy is this thing stiff.. wow ;-(

Any tips and thoughts, upgrade suggestions regarding the stock shock setup would be greatly appreciated..

Thanks ;-)

Remove the springs from those shocks, measure the length of them, then throw them in the trash. Go to a hardware store that has a good selection of compression/extension springs. Find some softer springs that will fit in your stock shock bodies. They're usually dirt cheap and I've almost always had good luck with finding super-flexy internal or external crawler springs that way (at least at hardware stores here in the US). Or you could just buy a better set of shocks... Hope that helps, and get that thing done!

Thanks a lot.. I actually ended up purchasing these:

hope they work out fine... Will also be using the Clod body for this one, the stock T-Finder body is just a little too dorky looking.

and along the way got a Gmade R1 kit, its on sale for $280 right now...

so wait, you expected the kit to come from the US and it came from HK? is that right?

 

[Diesel-tech]

those shocks are awsome..

 

[Veverica]

Exactly, there was no mention about the kit coming from HK. If I would have it delivered to my US home, I would have to pay customs. But since I'm in Europe now, it doesn't matter, I had to pay anyway.. thanks to RC4WD to total value was no where near the actual price, so I didn't pay as much. But this is common practice for all items coming out of HK, that's what I love about them. Not complaining, just a pleasant surprise :ror:

EDIT: found them directly on the Junfac website. Let us know how they work for ya!

Hi! Where did you get these shocks? I can't find them, just the ts02. They look great.

MUCH BETTER! Those G-Made look the business.

Hey guys.. Its already been a few months since I got the kit and the new shocks but still no time. Hopefully this coming week I will put it all together, I will try.

 

[Veverica]

Actually the problem on the old RC4WD white shocks was not the springs themselves but the entire housing and o rings. I took the springs out and ran the shocks up and down and it was stiff as hell even without the springs, not to mention a little leaky too.

 

[Veverica]

Still haven't put it together.. I guess I have too many R/C cars...

 

[Veverica]

Well, just got the TF2, still have not found time for this T-Finder..
