    REALLY good idea Josh!! The Bumpers are a bit ridiculous... but that "Truggy" Cage really brings or all together for a nice, functional look!! 👍👍

    Its actually an underdrive for the rear vs overdriving the front.
    Just ordered the kit and cant wait. Found a use for that small battery tray after seeing you put the weaker plastic battery tray mount. Can use that for a small 3s for the lights awesome.

    I like to use sticky puddy and stick small tacks to the body posts and I line it up then press down and look for the marks the tacks make and I drill body holes

    I'm not a spare tire guy either. I removed the cradle, and cut out the mount for the tire itself. One of my local crawler guys cut out just the center mount portion and used CA to glue a styrene rod in, sanded and painted.

      Iv been crawling for a few months I wish I would have been able to get this truck for my first one. Don’t care for the gen 8 steering and I don’t care for how quick rc4wd trailfinder axels wear out. This truck is a god send

    Hey! You can cut away that spare tire mount tab and place a piece of styrene tubing and use some star bond adhesive to lock it down, finally paint it black ! To give it a more clean look 👍🏻

  • @RUSERIOUS76
    @RUSERIOUS76 5 лет назад

    I had a chance to drive one of these recently. Associated really did their homework on this truck. The motor esc combo really does create a smooth run. The steering servo seems to have plenty of power and didn't break in the first ten feet. I'm sure I will have one .

    Looks awesome with the cage! You could just 3d print a little tool box/hard case for the spare tyre basket and trim off the mounting holes on the cage- 1:1s tend to have a box or two around the cage/bed area.

      @xantrios 5 лет назад +3

      @@PhiddyPford I think it doesnt matter what brand it is. Its the same old story with every RC car.
      1. video = review = it is a great car "out of the box".
      2. video = first run = and it performs great.
      3. (and more) video(s) = upgrades, upgrades, upgrades...
      All "Scale News Update"-videos are about (expensive) upgrades...and not only here @ Harley Desings, there are 3-5 (or maybe more) other channels with nearly the same pattern...its getting "boring".
      And yes, he get many upgrades supplied...and I think you know why :)
      The only interesting/new feature of this RC car is the overdrive...and this is a really cool feature...I like it!
      But I want to see more custom (DIY) designs/upgrades, not only (expensive) upgrades.

    • @sfcmp2007
      @sfcmp2007 5 лет назад +1

      @@xantrios Not sure where to begin,
      1. lets just start by saying we all have jobs to make money. As I'm sure you do. Josh has a job too, to help inform RC'ers about products. Sure if I had someone reviewing my products, I would send him free upgrades to help sell more. Its a really simple business concept.
      2. Upgrading your rig is part of the hobby, some people can't figure out "DIY" projects themselves so having Harley Designs or Scale Builders Guild around helps people to come up with cool ways to set up or make their own rigs look. I didn't think of attaching the rear fenders to the cage on mine until today when I finished watching this vid. Thanks Josh!
      3. All BS aside, nobody can tell you how to RC, if you want to make your own tube roll cage, there are a bunch or RUclips videos on it, don't just rely on RUclips though. Yes upgrades can get expensive, but so are RTR trucks... Be creative! That's what this hobby is all about!
      Just my opinion, take it for what its worth.

    the cage is a great improvement. I would like to see more inner body bracing for it though.. To prolong the life of that thin lexan. I'm not much for adding on scale details either, but that spare tire mount, might be a good place for a scale radiator. to go along with the pre-runner look.

    Next mod , i'd make velcro body mounts. And take some scale aluminum diamond plate and Shoe-Goo it to the lower door panels. The cracked lexan looks like the cheap stuff that RC4WD use to make their lexan(not hardbody) Mojave bodies....it would crack sitting on the shelf.
    Would you trust those plastic gears on Brushless power?

Have you thought of putting the winch out front to run off the servo Mount that they have there and see how well they designed it. Looks like it's going to be great truck I bet it's going to be huge. Some people have commented about aftermarket stuff but. Being that Team Associated. Is the mother company. I don't see how anybody can think that they won't be everything you can think of for this truck very shortly. Anyways you do really high class videos great job.
