| B-MOW buys a TF2 Marlin Crawler
Hello RCC! Well, after drooling over all the awesome Trail Finder 2 pics & builds here on RCC, I finally ordered a Marlin Crawler. I have wanted one of these ever since they first came out. Love how scale these trucks look. I have never driven a leaf sprung truck, but I'm really looking forward to it. So after a week of waiting, it showed up a my door step yesterday. Before it hits the trail, I plan on going thru the truck to check/regrease axles and transmission, check/retighten all screws and do a few mods that have been recommended to do to make the TF2 trail a little better. Here is a list of upgrades that I plan on doing right away: A&M Garage Shackle Mounts (for the front end) A&M Garage Skid Plate A&M Garage Anit-wrap Bar (for the rear) Bowhouse rear leaf spring holders Chino mod to the leaf springs Swap out the body mount screws for studs Remove the shock internal springs I'll start with these and see how it does. I plan on doing other mods to it later down the road. For now, I am going to keep the stock electronics in it and see how long they last. I will eventually drop in a HW 1080 ESC and a different servo. I will also add a Specktrum receiver so I can use it with my DX5C later on. I have a comp this coming Sunday in southern Ohio, so I plan on taking the Marlin with me to drive it around during my down times. I'm hoping to get a better feel on how it drives and what addition mods and items I might need for it. So here are a few pics I snapped last night: Thanks for looking and I welcome any and all tips and tricks! More to come later... |
