Custom Built F-350 Quad Cab Scaler - 09.04.2013, 02:12 PM

Thought I'd share a project I've been working on for a fellow member here, that I just wrapped up.

He really liked my Harley F-350 I've been building, so I threw it out in a conversation one day that I'd love to help him build one if he ever decided to.

So he had throw some options out there for him, and I suggested we build the truck you are about to see. Not only is it exactly what I've been wanting to build for a while now, but its the ultimate looking scale truck, IMO!

So that's how this build came to be.

I suggested we start with a Trailfinder 2 kit from RC4WD


And of course some extra goodies (King Shocks, Superlift shock mounts, scale drive shafts, scale receiver hitch, etc)


A 4-Link Suspension kit, wheels, tires, and more shocks


The Receiver Hitch


Superlift mounts for dual front shocks


The saucy ultra scale driveshafts


I deanodized the King shocks (he didn't like the blue, plus it made them match the other 4 silver shocks)


So first I had to build the TF2 Chassis up in stock form with the leaf springs, just for comparison purposes


Then came the 4-Link Suspension!
