Trailfinder 2...not just a truck...it's a recovery ramp. :lmao:

You got that thing in there good...

Thats me, when I do something, I do the best I can.

oh ya that looks bound up nice tire wrinkle..good you didnt break, were you running a 27t still, i threw a 27 in mine last night but i think its just a bit too fast, i,m thinking a 35 is probably better
haha just watched the vid..that what friends are for..lol

35 turn is perfect for me.

Great thought...it is the perfect balance. "thumbsup"

"thumbsup"

Ha, Boone really put the hurt to ya, dragging his entire undercarriage over your roof! I was trying to be nice and only get you with the tires.....:mrgreen:

I think he did that cause I told him to hurry.

"thumbsup"I think he should have gotten out and smacked them with one of his legs!!

:ror:

That was mighty gentlemanly of you. :ror:

I was rasied a team player.

Re: Rockedup Ricky's RC4WD Trailfinder 2

I went to mount my servo winch and in looking for a place I had a thought. So I fliped the cross brace/servo mount and the servo mount I have been wondering about popped out.

To mount the bumper the servo screw was in the way, I figured I could get away with 3 mount points.

I had a cheap servo and put one of Warpigs spools on it.

Here it is mounted clears everything. Now I'm going to redo my bumper just a little.

Re: Rockedup Ricky's RC4WD Trailfinder 2

I redid my bumper a little, John didn't like it.
I like it alot more, just came back from a new little place I found when taking the grandsons for a walk. Great for scalers. And the bumper worked better for me.

Re: Rockedup Ricky's RC4WD Trailfinder 2

That definitely looks a hell of alot better Rick. How much weight did you take off compared to the old bumper? Any noticeably? Much better approach angle too.
