But what I was curious is what are your thoughts on the o-ring mod? I heard it bends leafs easier. If it matters I'm running the rc4wd yota 2 axles but installed the heli-cut gears as my funds aren't in the budget for vanquish axles,lol. Thanks and keep up the great work 👍.

Could you do a body fitment video for specifically the TRX4 Sport? Forums are loaded with horror stories of difficulties of people trying to fit bodies to the TRX4 Sport. Even though it’s a 12.3” wheelbase the rear shock towers mess with most pickup truck bodies. Mainly a what fits best video, but also have some bodies that fit with minimal modifications. It’s already understood that most require the removal of the back bumper or flipping the mounts

@scalebuildersguild 4 жыл бұрын

There's tons of bodies out there, and most websites list the dimensions, so it's fairly easy to determine what will fit. Shock towers are always going to be a problem, it's all about deciding what you want more, performance, or looks. I try to tow the line between both.

@jonthomas8487 4 жыл бұрын

Scale Builder's Guild Thanks, I’ve heard the only body that allows you to install and keep the stock sliders and not add holes for the towers is the J Concepts 1982 K10 GMC. I’m considering doing a Fall Guy truck as the roll bar is available as well as the sticker for the hood is offered on Pinterest in custom sizes. I doubt it would crawl well as the body is pretty boxy and tall, but it might surprise me. The 1978 Proline Chevy K10 stepside is also a pretty easy fit as I hear
