REST IN ALOHA CHIP
So i was afforded the opportunity by the Great people at RC4WD to build and Let everyone know whats going with the BRAND NEW Trailfinder 2 class 1 scale kit from RC4WD. So here goes...
Unbelievable box art! full color and glossy.
Manuals are easy to read and don't have any mumbo jumbo(words) to confuse you...Kind of reminded me of Lego instructions.
Even the new Mojave body had a box and instructions of its own!!
The packaging was very impressive, i immediately tore it open and to my surprise, individual packaging!
All labeled to avoid any confusion.
So i set forth and began building, one thing that immediately noticed was the machine work on the chassis, the cnc tolerances are amazing!! all of the parts fit together with absolutely no slop!
new skid
totally digging this new shock hoop as well
New 2 speed transmission-has two side ears that make mounting to the chassis easy!
cast scale Yota axle
1.5 wagon wheels
1.5 mud thrashers- the compound seems perfect for the tire size. nice and sticky
And here we are all assembled
Dashboard comes fully detailed with vents, a steering column and even a speaker grill on the dash.
Oh yeah, and this little treasure.
Option A for use with bed as a class one setup
Option B for use with flatbed or truggy for a killer class two setup
Stickers also include many important interior musts!
Lots of chrome
Body parts bag
3 spoke steering wheel with excellent detail!
Wipers and Mirrors
Blinkers, corners, square lights
such detail
dropbedd is the perfect height for that camper top or loading up the back.
So with the chassis completed my attention went to getting this thing thing squirted...and even though i am highly capable in color application, i chose a close friend of mine..Reid Revilla of Hi-Line Distributors. Lots of people think they know what it takes to apply a Professional Coat, but Reid is a Mad scientist when it comes to types of adhesion, color selection and process. but hey, pics do ALL the talking.(Many thanks again to Hi-Lne for the blessing in Dupont Materials and Reid for the amazing paint job)
Wait, what? White?? Why? trade secret, hahaha.
Laid down the base, looks good already right? NOT!
AHHH! thats right clear coat!!
Seriously, pictures do no justice...this is amazing.
2 speed shifter setup, shift smooth and is durable.
Prior to the wires
Voila!! guts installed
some extra attachments that wouldn't upload directly

fuel cell/ radio box(daub of silicone will proof up your receiver and BEC in a jiffy!
View attachment 185552
firm foams for excellent side bolstering
View attachment 185550
2 speed transmission with smaller atlas t-case and HD gears with a solid intermediate shaft
View attachment 185549
plastic bumpers and sliders
BTW:rus thanks for the idea on the name.."MONEY" haha
Next up, detail the body and final assembly in kit form..then TEST AND TUNE!!! vids soon to follow.
