TrailFinder 2 from Alaska!

Looking good! "thumbsup" I think that if you were to add some inner fenders and/or paint the underside of the hood and bed with flat black you could avoid the light shining through your truck in the videos. Scale wheel hubs would look great with those wheels, too.

Sorry, I'm really not trying to be critical. :mrgreen:

Thanks! And yes those are actually some of the things I have in mind for the truck. Sadly I do not have a paint booth set your at my place right now and with winter coming along, I don't really want to paint anything right now. Although when it starts getting warmer I do plan to paint the whole body a tan/sand (or some other color. Haven't totally decided) color and that's when I'll do the wheel wells as well.

I do plan to get some wheel hubs soon.

Great vid! Truck looks like it is running great!

Thanks!!!

Howdy neighbor, I'm just down the Hwy from you in Eagle River.

Looking good man. I am just starting to get back into the RC thing and rigs like this really spark my interest.

Awesome! Another Alaskan rc'er. We should all do a GTG next summer!

Met up with a couple guys this weekend who brought me to this awesome trail.
We had 4 scx10s, a wraith, a night crawler, And I was the only TF2 there.

Even the wraith and the scx10 guys were surprised at how capable this thing was! (Including myself lol)

The video doesn't do it justice since it got pretty dark and it was pretty hard to take a video at the time but we all had a good time! My little brother was driving the other silver JK without a lightbar.

Oh and I forgot I also got some things from Michael's the other day.

Yup! Arnold's a reader!

And this scale map!

Truly awesome video! Looks like you guys had a blast. Wish I had a few trailing buddies in my area. Lol at the LVC alarm @ 5:45. Maps make it look much more scale "thumbsup"

Another video from yesterday! (11/29/14)

The snow finally fell again and the Trail Finder 2 with its low clearance, slow wheel speed and small scale tires weren't up to the job this time around. Doesn't really surprise me since scale wise that would be more than just a couple feet of snow! Still had a blast tho.

Anyways here's the vid!!

I'm truly envious! That looks like a total blast. I'd have taken a day off of work to trail with you guys! "thumbsup"

Thanks man! Yeah it was lots of fun. Gave me another excuse to build a snow truck!!

 

[AKbash57]

Let there be lights!!

I remember trailing with the group until night time and not having any lights... I was the only one. Lol. Not anymore!!


I used the Gearhead AAA battery holder with a switch so that way I don't have to always have it on to save power [emoji106]

 

[tokdl]

That looks killer! "thumbsup" I'm in the middle of wiring mine too!

 

[AKbash57]

Just the little details [emoji6]

If you had to get rid of one truck, which one would you keep? Tf2 or scx10?

I'm thinking about getting back into crawling and not sure which way I want to go. I've had lightly modded scx10 and a heavy modded wraith, these tf2's just look like a blast
