Custom Made Inner Fenders & Interior (FTX Outback Hi-Rock )

In this video I make some custom inner fenders, fit an LED unit into the lightbar, and make an interior & driver for my FTX Outback Hi-Rock 4x4 RTR.

Excellent work. I haven't forgotten your inner fenders for the TF2. Best I've seen so far! 👍

[@hollyhillrc]

That's a great compliment. Thank you very much. I really appreciate it.

Yes sir Derek!! A million times better. Wheel wells are a must!! Looks great. I must say the work on the lights made a world of difference as well. Nice job bud. :)

[@hollyhillrc]

Hi Nick. Thank you my friend. This is a nice RC which comes with led's pre installed in the headlamps and front bumper. Unfortunately it seems quality control were on their coffee break when this one went through the line ! But it was an easy fix so not a problem. The fenders were very satisfying and I'm quite pleased with myself considering I was too nervous to paint or build anything a few years ago.

Oh, those inner fenders add so much scale detail. A great idea and well executed too. Nice driver as well. He reminds me of Mr. Meaker from Rentaghost..😀👍🏻.

Hi Eric, thank you very much my good friend. I really appreciate it 🙂👍🏼👍🏼

Nice setup, lighting looks real good going down the road, figure looks perfect. Awesome truck 🙏😎☮️✝️

[@hollyhillrc]

Thank you Lou. This FTX/RGT is a good RC and with a little work can look pretty good 🙂👍🏼

[@Del350K4]

Brilliant work, Derek - the interior and driver look great, and the inner fenders are a tremendous addition to scale realism!

@@hollyhillrc I'm glad - I hope you enjoyed it!

Thanks, that was genuinely informative and I love your ideas! The truck looks so much better now, excellent job.

Thank you very much for your kind comment my friend. It makes me happy that you found this video helpful. 😀👍🏼

Very good presentation my new friend. Awesome Crawler. Love it 😻😻👍👍

Thank you very much 😀👍🏼

Hiya Derek. Top work on the truck and the video mate. Great use of the ready meal packaging. Looks much more scale now. Driver looks good. I'm sure I saw him in a 'specialist' video I had in the 80's :-)

[@hollyhillrc]

I did have dialogue which was very similar but decided to leave it out. But I'm sure Johnny Cutesack doesn't mind😂😂😂👍🏼

[@Fourwheeljive]

Looks great with lights, driver and inner fenders. I’ll have to try your fenders trick. Thanx!

[@hollyhillrc]

Thank you very much my friend. I'm happy you found this video helpful. The good thing is this idea can be adapted to most RC's. I'm going to try and make some inner fenders for one of my 1/16 RC's soon using packaging from some rice crackers 😀👍🏼

[@Fourwheeljive]

@@hollyhillrc Excellent! You are resourceful and creative!👍🏻

[@islandrc-duke1972]

Cool RC and great work my friend

[@hollyhillrc]

Thank you very much 😀👍🏼

[@BasBoyRC]

To me the LED's looked the same 🙂 light bar light a nice way they go in.

[@hollyhillrc]

Lol, you'll have to take my word for it Mal. 😀👍🏼

Another great helpful video, the Tamiya driver will be going in my Texan at some point

[@hollyhillrc]

Hi Julian. Thank you my friend. Yes, the good thing about this is it can be adapted for most RC's. I used exactly the same parts for my Gmade Bom driver and interior.

@@hollyhillrc Hi Derek, im thinking i might try a custom hi-rock shell on my new fury 2.0, pretty sure it would fit just right, its a nice shell, ooks like an un-licenced toyota

[@chrisnaylor8974]

Great video is there any chance you can remember the size of the led’s in the bumper

[@hollyhillrc]

Hi. Thank you very much for watching. The led's are 5mm in both bumpers.

[@ebealienthy]

Hi, I follow your special videos and I recently became the lucky owner of a fantastic hi rock ftx. Now I have bought 4 more original tires and the led bar for the roof. I also took a "Y" cable, but when I connect it, only 1 led of the bar works. I tried to insert the bar directly into the free socket on the plastic dispenser, where you circled in yellow, which is on the free left, and they all worked. What advice do you have? I made a video I'll send it to you privately, thank you very much.

[@hollyhillrc]

Hello my friend. Thank you for watching my video. My diagram shows how to plug in the lightbar so it will turn on and off with the headlights when you press the third channel button on the remote control. This is what I wanted it to do and I remember having problems figuring it out because the lightbar didn't come with instructions. There is no guide how to do it in the Hi-Rock manual either. So I just tried different ways of plugging it in until it worked with the third channel on the remote control. If you are happy with the lightbar being on permanently then just leave it plugged in the left socket as you mentioned. It should light up when you turn on your esc to run the Hi-Rock, and then go out when you turn off your esc. I hope this helps 🙂👍🏼

[@nickbromage29]

Great vid, have ordered the led light bar, do you have a link or part no. for the ‘y’ harness? many thanks.

[@hollyhillrc]

Hi Nick. Thank you very much. I actually made my own but you can buy one at "Make it Build it" www.makeitbuildit.co.uk/etronix-15cm-22awg-futaba-twisted-y-extension-wire-19397 Have a good weekend my friend.
