TrailFinder 2 from Alaska!

- Start date
Got a new vid! Got some pretty cool angles on this one.
We were out looking for new trails and ended up getting kind of lost in the woods. Made for some great fun tho!!

Nice looking Trail Finder! What kind of Paint did you use for the outline that you did on the front grill? Man you must hold a brush extremely steady... Looks great!
More like I can hold a sharpie market steady [emoji14]
It's just a silver sharpie marker. Pretty easy!
Got TF2

I did the same, I used a sharpie for all of my detail work. Silver from grill and dash accents, and a black one for all window trim. Takes a few layers and being light handed with the silver but it works GREAT.
Took the TF2 out yesterday with some newly installed CI lil nova 2 stage foams!
They worked awesome and no more tires folding over when side hulking and turning! Very happy with the way they performed [emoji106] [emoji106] [emoji106] [emoji106] [emoji3]

Looks like you guys have a lot of fun up there! Like the pic's!
Yeah I'm really grateful to be living up here. Not just for RC reasons but everything else. [emoji3]
There's lots of us that go more than just once a week up here! So yes we do! [emoji3] [emoji3]

I would like to see how you mounted the front bumper. I ordered some rubber side mirrors from rcmodelex and have been waiting about a month and a half for them. I go to the mail box every day hoping they will be there. They claim they are waiting for post office to let them know something. I saw that bumper on their website but now I'm not so sure about the shipping. Thats a nice looking rig you got.
I just made some mounts from an old lift kit I had for my scx10. Just need a Dremel and its fairly easy. [emoji106] [emoji106] I'll try to post pics when I get home.
As far as shipping, I went with FedEx for 10 dollars more since I live in Alaska and normal shipping would be taken 15 days or more. I got mine in 4 days!
But I do know that some people who went with the regular shipping, and they got it in about a week...
Went out and about with the tf2! I'm really glad that we have started out a very active crawler club up here in the AK
I took my wife with me one day and let her drive Arnold... I'm not going to lie, I was hesitant at first but she did well! She now even wants Arnold as her own... But I said, "No."
But I did tell her I'll build her one... Maybe I'll put that spare scx10 I have to good use....
Anyways some pics!
This is her with my brothers scx10!
And a group photo:
And now some updates:
I've been missing my tsls that I traded with from my old FJ build so decided to get another set. Heigh wise they sit at almost the same height as my MT baja claws even tho they are listed as 4.3s...
As you guys can tell I've also got me some scale hubs
Until next time!!

You liking the Swampers"thumbsup"
Great looking tyre on the TF2

I'm loving them! I've always loved how they look to be honest... My favorite scale looking tire. I've had them before when they first came out but never really used them at all. I wasn't quite sure how I'd like them since there have been more than a few newer compounds compared to the proline g8, but after testing them yesterday, they hooked up more compared to my baja claws!

Ah, very creative. Thanks for showing us how you mounted it. Your pics look great, feel free to post more...
Thanks man! Will do for sure. I'm just glad we didn't get much if any snow at all this winter up here in AK! We've been going trailing all winter long ....
Speaking of more pics... Here's one!
