- I do a few mods to my RC4WD Trailfinder 2. The Chino mod on the leaf springs, O ring mod as I attach axles to the leaf springs to the axles, removal of the internal springs in the shocks, and adding the A@M garage anti wrap bar.
Excelente Trabajo..! Thanks for sharing.
Cabin crawl was amazing this year man. Thanks again!
man.... that's a great looking build.
I like what you did but you should have used a washer on top of the O-ring for the leafsprings or the smallest leafspring. That way the O-ring doesn't pop off.
Great job✌💪
Great video.
great video but I wish you had shown the resulting difference... or at least a before and after... that would have taken it over the top!... thanks for this!
Great video my friend. Liked and subbed to your channel.
Thank you
Great vid my man ...how much more flex did these mods add?? I'm now in the market to purchase the tf2 and have been hesitant cause the lack of flex but I'm all in now
Hell yeah awesome! Why'd you stop uploading videos?
I’ve just had a lot going on in life the past few years, the RC trucks have been neglected. Hope to get back at it soon. Thanks for asking.
@@montanacrawler2675 right on, it happens. Look forward to seeing more videos from you
What’s the o rings don
What the o rings and axles do
Not sure whether to buy the single speed or the 2 speed. What are your thoughts?
I like the single.
Where’d you get those orings ?
What size o rings did you used
What size is the o rings
Two things. Number one...you didn't just do grinding with a motor tool with no eye protection. I KNOW I didn't just see that. Two, when grinding on the springs you should do so a little at a time to really try keeping the heat out of them. If I'm holding them as shown I will gently grind (not bearing-down and creating "red" metal at the point of contact) until I feel warmth in my fingers (NOT hot). Then I swap ends and work on the other end until I feel warmth, then grab another spring, rotating through until they're all tapered how I want. These leaf springs are REALLY easy to make brittle and they like to break where the holes are punched through to mount to the axle.
Scottrik1 lol I figured someone would say something about safety glasses thank for your concern. The leafs never got hot at all not even warm.
@@montanacrawler2675 yes, they didn't get hot because you approached the challenge correctly. Worth mentioning such potential pitfalls because many/most would have at it and suffer the consequences. YES SIR on the eye protection...you've only got the one pair of eyes!
Eye protection is not enough when grinding. As a matter of fact neither is regular clothing. As a long time industrial fabricator I can share some horror stories. Each spark off the grinder is actually a hot piece of metal. If you wanna talk 100% safety you need a leather hood, leather jacket, leather pants, leather boots, leather gloves, and a full face shield. Or if you wanna virtue signal, point out a half assed safety approach and call it a "warning".
@@johnbasterson7938 You're right...if you're not going to do all of it may as well take no precautions at all. Have done lots of grinding in industrial situations myself, heavier stream of sparks, more protection. When I'm using my Dremel for these tasks the spark stream is exponentially smaller and more predictable/controlled. My safety glasses and make sure nothing flammable is on my work surface. 45 years and zero days lost to Moto tool injuries.
Omg John, he’s using a freaking dremel with a sanding barrel in it bro. He’s not using a 7” grinder 😂
