What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Did you already sale?

 

It's a custom 3D printed kit. Each panel is printed separately. Chassis is also custom and mostly printed except running gear. You can get them from Mfab on FB or IG. Comes like this and the rest is up to you. My first time building or even having an RC and took me a long time.

 

Welcome to the forum from Eastern North Carolina!
All mods count.

 

Installed some modded headlights by @no vtec 4me that turned out phenomenally. Kevin is a great guy and makes some awesome headlights for a great price if you’re looking at upgrading headlights.

 

Lol yea, definitely!

 

No. I think my issue was definitely the aftermarket skid plate. The width of the bar should be the same, no?

 

How much did you spend? This seems pretty cool!!!!! I may wanna build one!

 

I had to do the same but I also did the hoist relocation mod so I could just hoist it up and have it be in the right place. It is a simple mod.

Well not as cheap as the one piece lexan kits but the body kit is $240, chassis/IFS kit comes with everything but motor, servo and wheels. $450. Of course that doesn't include accessories. I also had other custom parts made like racks, custom one of aluminum cnc'd wheels and other custom parts I made to match my real truck. Lot of fun to build. Well most of the time.

 

Went to drain my front diff fluid today after the gears are broken in and what ya know... bolt stripped. Really is a horrible design from Toyota.



So busted out the welder and it came right out

 

Good thinking. I would not have thought of doing that.

 

A much needed wash for the truck tonight after work. Chemical Guys Citrus Wash and Maguiars Detail Spray. Naturally realized I was out of tire shine post wash.

It’s really feeling like summer here in the PNW. 89 degrees at 7:30 tonight.

 

Installed Timbren Bump stops and an All Pro U bolt Flip kit.

Got the Timbrens and Flip Kit for $40 off of Craigslist. Bought new U bolts for $56. Had to modify the base of the Timbrens a bit, but it's a significant savings over the price of this kit new.

Also found out I'm missing a piece of hardware to fasten my ebrake cable to my AAL Pack, so I ziptied it up for the time being.

 

I learned the hard way myself. Note to self: ALWAYS remove the inlet plug first to make sure it is not rusted in place. It was manual transmission so I was able to get the fluid in via the shifter hole.

 

SPCs arrived today

 

Venomrex Wheels arrived today

 

Deaver U402 Stage 1

Works for me.
It's not the size of the mod it's the magic in it.
