    For those who asked - The Chevy K10 High Trail and F-150 High Trail bodies are cross-compatible.
    The clear F-150 body is part #9230. They should be available in May.
    Lastly, they recommend not swapping connectors as it voids the warranty. 🙃

      Do know if bumpers are the same? Or would you need new bumpers?

      I pre-ordered mine in June 2023 ( I'm in Australia) and still haven't received it. They haven't arrived in Australia yet. ( May 2024 ) As for warranty , it only lasts 30 days so after that you got no return or warranty or cover. Here in Australia, I've found an adaptor for the battery to ESC. It plugs in and has Traxxas ID to Dean's. So it will go in without voiding the warranty, then I can put a Dean plug battery. But my truck hasn't arrived yet. As for not being able to run aftermarket parts such as shifting servo and steering servo and diff locker servo, a real easy way around that is to buy an aftermarket servo of better quality and snip off the terminal then swage the wiring by stripping the insulation off the wiring to servo and terminals and using Traxxas plug on aftermarket servo. Simple. I would probably use the Traxxas CRAP until it breaks down and stops working. I just wonder though if the delay in this truck arriving is some kind of omen to me so I don't waste money on Traxxas junk ? Maybe I've got a guardian angel looking over me ? And this is to give me time to get a refund on my truck to save money for myself. Here in Australia this truck sells at $1150.00 Australian dollars. And I'm on a pension. A disability pension of only $1100.00 per fortnight/ 2 weeks..

    8:24 The scale latch is called a pintle hook. It is used with a trailer with a donut shaped ring as its connector. The big advantage is that it gives much much much more articulation than a traditional hitch. In fact, a hard mounted pintle hook typically can rotate completely, which means you can roll your trailer without rolling your truck. This attachment is used by most military vehicles but is also used on the back of semi trailers to attach a dolly for a second or third (or in Australia fifth) trailer.
    Great video keep up the good work. Always enjoys your less frenetic take.

    Just wanted to say that the unboxing you did of this truck is the best one I have ever seen. I have been quite interested in this truck since I first saw it and have been doing some research on it. Plus I’ve always loved the older Fords. Well, when I saw this video a few weeks back, it sold me on getting one. I went to my local hobby shop and placed my order and it will be in next week. I can’t wait. Anyway, I watched this video again and was more attentive to the details you pointed out and took notes. Keep up the good work and have fun!!

    I purchased the K10 Chevy High Trail a month ago. With some brass portal covers and such the otherwise high CG can be lowered to where the High Trail platform equals or eclipse most crawlers. It's a bit big for most 'Gates' in crawling competitions but near unstoppable as a trail truck.

I think lights are next, followed by a steering servo; I can't decide on which brass to use and where.

    Nice review & you are 100% correct I’ve been a mountain biker for many years & being a RC enthusiast as well there are some trails that I’d love to take my Crawlers on but they are mostly used by mountain bikers & are single tracks that are narrow steep & rocky with some serious consequences if you crash so needless to say I’ve never had my Crawlers on them. Even just out anywhere I try & stay away from people just out especially with dogs. But a lot of people are curious when they see these nice Crawlers we have.

And let them stair, You're awesome.

    • @joedipietro2559
      @joedipietro2559 Год назад +1

      Good point there. I just got an idea for a quick fix on this problem though. I would apply some dry wall tape and shoo goo as others do to polycarbonate body shells which also makes the shell a lot stronger and stops the damage occuring in the first instance but can also be used to repair a body shell if needed. Yeh I was a little hesitant to buy this truck after reading your comment but now I realise it's actually really easy to get around any issues with the body shell getting damaged. I don't think this would be low cost $$$ cheap to buy from Traxxas either. But yeh I'm really considering buying this truck probably also in metallic brown.it looks beautiful and I'm a ford fan my whole life.just a little add on , I was referring to replacement body shells being quite expensive from Traxxas. But so are kyosho here in Australia a kyosho body shell for a 1969 Chevy Camaro or a 1957 Chevy Bel Air is around $210.00 Australian dollars and I suspect Traxxas will be even more expensive. By the way thank to Haley Rcgirl it's an awesome video presentation and I have subscribed to Rcgirl.👍

    Why not use the traxxas light kit? Also you should get the Bluetooth adapter & link to the traxxas app! You can control your lights & see how much angle the truck has when crawling, see battery & heat info. Again you gotta link all your traxxas rc's to the app, makes it a whole different rc. IMO! Huge Fan!
