I got to say. Out of all the RC videos that I watch. Ur the first that I've seen to cut a connector off a RTR to put a Dean's connector on. Unless it's a Tamiya connector.. cool video and Rig 👍
Angry Dave, I'm angry Renner. Just unboxed my beautiful new RC4WD TF2 Xtracab and the factory packaging literally stripped off most of the chrome finish on the front bumper. I'm so angry right now.
That blows. I'd be pissed to. And you can get a new one, but it'll be a huge pain in the ass. Sorry to hear that, but it'll give you an excuse to buy a sweet new bumper. (Bright side!) -"Angry Dave"
@@AngryDavesADULTRC Thanks for taking the time to get back to me brother, appreciate it. I have to say, at the time I was pretty mad. To be fair, RC4WD has totally come through for me, and they are sending me a complete chrome bumper set, including the rear, free of charge. I've got the Mamba X 2280 slate combo, a Reefs 555 and a Savox 5ch coming for it, super stoked! I'm glad I found your channel, I'm really enjoying it. Have a great day Dave!
Starting to wonder if you got flagged or something missed your show you're the only one that can talk trash on something and make it a hobby I can still enjoy. Love your channel bud keep up the entertainment.
Just been suuuuuuper busy. Covid turned the world upside down, and it's made it hard for me to have spare time, Once things calm down some, I'll have more time to shoot and edit. Thanks for watchin'! -"Angry" Dave
Covid put a crimp on the construction business as well everyone has been playing catch up lately so I haven't had a whole lot of time in my shed with my crawlers neither. Getting back at it at now though
Thanks! I'm not really gone and back, I'm just uploading rarely due to lack of time. Once things are less nuts you'll be sick of me in no time, lol. -"Angry" Dave
BRB Cough, cough, lmao! Real sweet man! I wouldn't have noticed but, since you did, a coat of clear prob would make it pop. Is a lot of work tho. All you need is a roll bar, some KC's and it will be the McFly truck. The only thing I don't like personally is the lift kit look, but that's what people like and do.
Defiitely needs a roll bar. I'll probably do a custom bumper too. I've been trying to call, but I always get the voicemail. What you been doing? Talk soon brother. -"Angry" Dave
The Rock Stomper is cool, but it's not the licensed TSL Swamper. They make the Swamper, but the modern version with sidewall lugs. It just looks too new for a vintage feel build. Thanks! -"Angry" Dave
@@AngryDavesADULTRC gotcha! Maybe if people request it enough we'll get them, RC4WD is pretty good about supply and demand if there is a enough demand for them.
Oh, it will definitely work. The issue is whether or not I feel like doing the work. The body will need to be completely disassembled, then wet-sanded. Then, once it's sprayed you have to spend some time color sanding the orange peel out of the clear. Then it has to be polished to get the shine back. It adds up to quite a bit of work. If done right it will look amazing, that fact is the only thing that keeps me thinking about doing it. We'll see... Thanks for watchin'! -"Angry" Dave
I usually take the smallest leaf and move it from the bottom of the pack to the top. The I'll do the o-ring and chino mods. Once the springs break in some it'll flex great. Thanks for watchin'! -"Angry" Dave
@@sprather84 Put rubber o-rings between the axle housing and the leaf pack, and on top of the leaf pack. Then run your bolts through. Use washers under your screw heads to retain the top set of rings. Just tighten until the o-rings start to squish down. Use thread locker and let it set for the full 24 hours before driving. I got my o-rings at Home Depot. They';re cheap. I forget what size, but you want them to fit snug around the screw. They allow the leaf packs to flex a bit independently from the axle housing. This mod couples very well with the chino mod. Any additional flexibility helps a lot with leaf rigs. -"Angry" Dave
Did you notice a lot of slop in the drivetrain? I watched another video of the TF2 and it had tons of play in the transmission. Was wondering if they fixed that in the TF3? That midnight edition looks badass!
I don't really notice much in the trans, the TF2s I've seen tend to have some slop in the axles (which can appear to be coming from the trans), but it doesn't seem to affect anything. Most of that can be shimmed out if you really want to beat the shit out of it. Thanks! -"Angry" Dave
Not when they're new. After it gets run a few times the springs will loosen up and it will have much more. There are also several free mods that will increase flex in leaf sring rigs. Check out my vids with my TF2 Blazer, that thing has loads of flex. Thanks for watchin'! -"Angry" Dave
Good looking truck. I forgot about this Midnight edition. My favorite color is clear. JK. Can't wait to see what scale items you add. Don't forget to put those body screws in from the backside so you don't have to screw them anymore! I also moved the battery tray by flipping it (forward) over so its on the other side of the transfer case to add more weight bias to the front. 00
I might have to add your favorite color to it to make that black POP. I haven't decided how to scale it out yet, but you'll find out sooner or later. I'll have to try that with the batt tray. I'll try to eliminate the screws completely. I might go magnet, we'll see. Thanks for watchin' bro! -"Angry" Dave
Awesome! Glad to have you aboard. Might I suggest the other TF2 videos (The Blazer), there'll be another video on that rig coming out soon. Thanks! -"Angry" Dave
That is a sweet looking rig my friend I was looking at one of those the other day and was tempted to buying one but I have too much RC crap already. LOL
That's brand new leaf springs. After a few runs the springs will break-in and the flex will come. Check out the vids of my TF2 Blazer and you can see worn springs in action, waaay more flex. Also remember, with that price you're not paying for performance. You're paying for an almost 100% metal truck with fantastic scale details. -"Angry" Dave
@Steve Vento I do own axial scx10 and a venom creeper and yes iv never owned a leaf spring crawler and where I live not very many have leaf sprung crawlers so I dont get to see them perform in person
Sucks you had trouble. I've had a ton of fun with mine. My Blazer crawls great after some pretty minor mods. What were you having trouble with? What mods did you do? I'd love to hear what you tried and what your goal was. Thanks for watchin'! -"Angry" Dave
@@AngryDavesADULTRC 35 years of doing this i have no building troubles it is a shit driving quality, perhaps the springs perhaps the chassie perhaps the drivetrain, it drives like piece of wood and now it is a shelfqueeen and will never get any elektronic
@@chriswalter4887 If by "quality" you mean the flex, there's only so much flex you can get from leaf springs. Real leaf spring trucks crawl like bricks too. That limited amount can be increased but will never perform like a linked suspension. This is why 1:1 rigs are generally linked or converted to links. You can convert a TF2 to links and they crawl just as well as anything else and you get way more metal in the rig for weight and durability. I'm not a TF2 super-fan or anything, but it seems like you may have just had unrealistic expectations for this platform. Check out my vids of my TF2 Blazer. You can clearly see it has great flex and I haven't even used any Tera-Flex parts yet. Let me know what you've done to it. I'd bet we can get it working the way you want and get your money's worth out of it. -"Angry" Dave
@@AngryDavesADULTRC i agree, i know a lot about this stuff and i am not angry of having this scaletruck, instead il love my tf2 really a lot,it was a great fun to build, but the result: it is a leafspringtruck, i have done a lot but at last my transmimission broked and i gave up, no more money in this project
@@chriswalter4887 Yeah, they don't drive so well with broken transmissions. I'm battling trans issues in my Slash right now. They're no fun. Look at it on the shelf for a while, maybe someday you'll get the itch to throw a tranny in it and get it back on the trail. Have fun with whatever runs for now. Merry Christmas! -"Angry" Dave

Yeah, I had to keep checking the stock and then jump on it when it was there. Thanks! -"Angry" Dave
U might need to throw a brick in the back so it will maybe loosen that suspension up a little 👍

You might be able to just spray some clear coat on it to get that shine to show up it might work it's worth a try
