tamiya hi-lift

[need2bcrawlin]

just curious how long it takes to build this truck.

 

[need2bcrawlin]

how would you guys rate this truck overall? I know as far as scale this thing rocks!!! I've been debating purchasing it for about 2 weeks. Have the $ even went to the hobby shop to get it but walked out without it!!!!??? Help me!!!

If you take your time, and do it right 8 to 10 hours.
Rush and you could do it in 5?

I like it with 2.2 tires, the 1.9's are a little small for offroading.

It is more capable than the original 3 speeds, and more durable too.

Everything I have seen and heard makes me want one really bad. I have been saving my pennies trying to get enough cash together to get this and the radio stuff. If I had the cash together like you do, I would have already purchased it.

:bang

4 links and lift kits

what are you guys using for lift blocks, and body lifts?
also what exactly does it take to 4 link this truck? Parts and how 2?

You can use the search fuction and look in this forum. You will find all kinds of information about lifts, links, etc.

I like the aftermarket chassis too

there's an aluminum version of the stock chassis made by monotuning

theres one made by junafec (or however you spell it, check scale4x4rc.org)

and there's a diaz chassis

I have the diaz and love it, but realize it's not a direct fit, and will need massive fabrication

Thanks.
I was going to ask this question. I'm concidering getting a 350 and selling my Bruiser. I want a scale truck that I'm not afraid the damage.

Dude, how many brusers do you have?

I need to sell the other one first.
I have a mint, never run, never even had a radio in it, Bruiser. I got it from a member here about 6 years ago and just put it in the closet. I'll put that one on eBay for some good money.
I'll PM you after it is gone and I'm through my 30 days on here.


I'm looking forward to having an F350 to play with. I know it won't have the coolness factor of a Bruiser, but I want something scale, functional, and affordable.

and yeah I'm not looking for mint, cant afford it. more like a rig that needs TLC with maybe body, mounty preferred.
