How to get more scale flex from RC4WD Trail Finder 2

Here is a brief summary of how I got my RC4WD Trail Finder 2 to flex but before we get into that let me explain the look that I want to achieve first. I wanted my TF2 to look more like a regular stock 1980’s Toyota Hilux. So there is more emphasis on the stance, tire size, and some scale details. It is not super scale though let’s be clear about that.
If you have any questions, leave it in the comments below and I will try to get to them as soon as I can.
Thank you.

Excellent job on getting that much flex! I like how you were able to get the tire tuck inside the fenders. Overall a great looking rig!

I’ve had this rig for a couple of years now and it was definitely a breakthrough moment for me to get that tire tuck up front. Thanks for watching. By the way, I subscribed to your channel.

Hey bro thank you I had mounted axels on the bottom of the leaf springs they came like that from a buddy that traded it to me and it flexes but no wear neer yours and it has no suspension other than the leaf springs no shocks on it and there like a Bow shape leaf spring it has the same front brackets as yours but sits high like crazy high

First 😄 Very good work on the leaf springs and also with these shock absorbers which I find adds realism to this Toyota. I really like the way the wheel fits in the fender of the car which gives excellent flex and very good compared to a real Toyota. Really well done. And bravo for your work to put the floor 👏

Thank you my friend. It was all trial and error then it happened 😄🤣😅 The tire tucked in the front fender. I thought about it while working on my floor. I then took a break to work on the TF2 and there it was. I really appreciate you Pascal. I can’t thank you enough.

@@BITTERFLEA At least you will have done the work of the soil and the tf2 at the same time 😄 It sure is a very good job 😉👍

Yeah man!! Looks like a great rig bud. I really like the tire tuck as well man. Looks super scale and I also look forward to seeing it out on the trail

[@BITTERFLEA]

I am really hoping it would translate well in trail conditions. Thank you for the kind words. I really appreciate it.

[@stvn.g133]

if you want more flex for free you can also take the shocks out because the stock ones are very stiff. you can also keep the shocks but take the internal springs out for more realism.

[@BITTERFLEA]

Thanks for that advice.
