2022 has been a year of let-downs from RC4WD for me. First this, and then the FJ55 being a lexan shell instead of a hardbody. Just baffling decisions all around. The TF3 is really just the TF2 but making the same dumb decisions in more confusing ways. Good thing I'm perfectly happy with my little fleet of TF2s. Save some money this summer, for sure. Spend it on tiny beers to haul in my tiny Toyotas!

They must be on a mission to self-destruct. The FJ55 was such a sad release, not only because of the lexan body, but the promotional material and box art vehicles were done poorly. And I absolutely love FJ55s. They didn't try hard to make it look good. SBG really did wonders with his by painting it on the outside.

Fun fact: Back in the day RC4WD sold their own version of the Bruiser chassis. It was a close copy of the Tamiya chassis with minor changes, like using sold aluminium chassis rails instead of Tamiya's c-beam steel. I've been running it in one of my trucks since forever and it's great.

If they weren't so expensive, I'd defend RC4WD's trucks this way: They're like a scale version of an '80s Chevy S-10, not capable or very durable driven off-road when stock. You maintain, upgrade, and massage almost everything to make it work well, and you take pride in that. If you're into Class-0-style builds, RC4WD may be your only source for some parts. I do appreciate that they haven't migrated toward the monster-tired side of things.

I bought one ready to run rc4wd truck with a lexan body a long time ago. The truck didn't make 25 feet of trail crawling before I lost all of the drive shaft pins in the grass on the first test run. I bought it because it was based off the TF2 chassis thinking that I could put the toyota body on it. Come to find out, they plugged all of the holes on the chassis for the hard body mounting.

In addition, this is a truck, a realistic truck, and yes, you have to work on it to make it better, and tinker with things, and thats what R-C is all about, having fun tinkering and enjoying the hobby. RTR almost ruined R-C because of its plug and play mentality. (Toy grade crap). Lets go back to the good old days of R-C and actually learn what an ESC does and how a motor works, and the Rx and Tx and have patients again just like the golden days of R-C. To some that still exists.

It’s not a realistic truck. RC4WD had every opportunity to make this look and function better than a 40 year old Tamiya but they failed and it’s obvious. There’s a reason it’s no longer in production. I do enjoy tinkering but not on this level.
