It’s time for the 80s model already. These look good but we want a different taste. It would be awesome to collect the 78, 80s and 90s models.

[@TrokaRC]

1990 for me

[@ctmcadventures7772]

They have been selling this truck for like a decade. Unlikely they will do anything new

[@713Ace529]

Yes. I see that. You would think that they would want to move the passion of 4x4 era to the next gen who remember their year model. The 78 old timer can only appeal so many which soon we’ll be gone. 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@andyrichey1192]

Just stepped in from work 5:59 PM Wednesday, May 15 yay it’s Wednesday. Gosh, I like that.😁👍👍

[@andyrichey1192]

I knew I should’ve been watching this😁😁 i’m loving that Blazers looking pretty stinking freaking sweet😎👍👍

[@rickstephens4490]

We used the 2.2 Mud Country tires on my son's AX10 years ago and they worked very well. Good choice, RC4WD. The truck looks great.

[@onereed333]

Thanks a ton. I've been wanting that solid rear bumper, but I've had no luck finding it. Now you've sold them out! Lol

[@MakeItRC]

Awesome rig and video! Getting that ride height lowered just a bit looks much better!

[@TinkerTechRC]

just got mine today - gonna do these mods!! thx man.

[@andyrichey1192]

Looks super awesome with the lights even the front side marker light I like that👍👍

[@andyrichey1192]

Man, oh man, I shouldn’t be watching this one😁 i’m liking that that’s beautiful dude❤️👍👍😁

[@robertbrass6255]

Wow awesome you have one already

[@andyrichey1192]

As always appreciate you sharing, great unboxing, dude I am really digging on that blazer. Well I watch for the next one until then peace and chicken grease😁😁👋👋😎

[@brianwood9849]

I think the blue limited blazer was the best with the scale V-8 350. I think this one needs bigger tires on it with the lift it comes with!

[@davejohnson7755]

Awesome truck, thanks for the tips and tricks , keepin it scale .

[@JusRc]

Damn! Real nice truck 😍👌and pretty good video 😊

[@dalewilliams7871]

Just bought my first k10 now I gotta buy a blazer😂

[@scottgriffin3389]

The body looks great, it looks so much better once you lowered it, It definitely looks like it sits to high right out of the box!

[@TinkerTechRC]

Got all the mods done.. i added 1 thing.. i put 70wt shock oil in the shocks.. it really slowd down the bounce of undampened springs 👌

[@HyperReality4]

Great video, glad you showed those upgrades. I’ve been really getting into the more scale stuff and I agree, I don’t like how they sit so high out of the box.

[@geraldanthony7324]

Oh my time to trade up for this one midnight fire 👍🏿👍🏾

[@andyrichey1192]

Open that hood, let’s see the engine bay😁👍👍

[@woodchoppershollowcustompa993]

Ol Puddins Fab Shop would be proud

[@RCeveryday]

Pott county legend😂 I knew some folks out there would catch it

[@TheUncleRuckus]

The box makes the kit like it sits so much higher and the wheelbase looks super narrow, but now that it's together it looks nothing like what's presented on the box, which is odd. At first I was like it needs to be lowered and it needs Axel extensions/spacers but it doesn't it's sitting great as is. If I had $600 to spare I might pick one up. 👍👍

[@AirGunner-ou1co]

I really like the updates but I really hope they release a non-murdered out version. I want an old school 2 tone version with chrome bumper and such

[@dantyler7028]

Wow that's a stunner 👌👍

[@HRWRC]

Awesome truck😎👍 digging the midnight look for sure.

[@1500chessie]

Your vids are always fantastic. This Blazer is ordered but i have to wait a while living in Germany. Like this black a lot, i´m not that chrome crazy. Can´t wait to run that black beauty. BTW , while i´m watching it´s raining here also like crazy.

[@BlueDually4x4]

If they are smart, they should sell the blacked-out chrome parts separately. Cause that red or blue body would look amazing with the blacked-out chrome parts.

[@rcpete7055]

must be nice to be sent such an expensive truck👍 have always wanted a RC4WD truck am still using my preowned Scx10 V1 2012😎 ❤ the channel bud

[@daltonsalaskanadventures7673]

Wow of course you’ve already got one 😂🤘🏻 looks amazing

[@jemshobbies]

looks good, love the mods

[@chrisnorthup137]

Looks good..if you rotated your rear leaf shackle mounts 180. Maybe it'll angle the shake more fwd so the leaf can compress easier 🤷🏼‍♂️

[@beechmountainrc1668]

Unboxing science!! I'm probably crazy, but crome dif covers....?! Yeah I'm crazy, but you do you brother..

[@bobsrc9075]

definitely a beauty

[@bcochener]

Wha wha what….!!!???😮😮😊😊

[@paulmcnamara2908]

I likey that have a G-made Buffalo GF-02 with the Blazer ish body painted black so this is my next need it RC

[@chrisnorthup137]

Like the front

[@rcjoe406]

Ok a few of old trucks need to be sold immediately 😅

[@DoubleADay]

I found the discontinued lwb chassis kit with 2-speed transmission and Toyota axles. I tried to mount the xtracab on my Gmade Gs02f chassis but I was going to have to hack the interior to make it fit

[@Jim-lh4qz]

My banking app found out I was watching this video and deleted itself… (I’m buying one anyways) 🤫

[@carltruva8872]

I like the black I absolutely hate metallic black because it takes away from the black

[@kbrc1345]

👍👍

[@offroad1911]

After removing the lift blocks, do you think adding the wedge blocks to rotate the angle of the pinion would benefit this one?

[@RCeveryday]

It really doesn’t need it in my opinion. The pinion angles are as good as every other tf2.

[@Mtbmi]

Leaf purches were the leaf shackle mounts is on backwards isn’t it? That angle doesn’t look right for the suspension to cycle

[@RCeveryday]

That’s how they should be. It’s just the lift block situation exaggerating the look. Once the leafs break in a little it will bend the right direction. Partly why I removed the blocks.

[@CallmeDaBreeze1971]

Will you be putting in the Bowhouse rear Shackle mounts?

[@RCeveryday]

I believe they are the same as the ones on these newer tf2’s. Rc4wd started using something similar back on the marlin crawler.

[@offroad1911]

What size grub screws are you using for your TF2 trucks to hold the bodies. I need to swap all mine over.

[@RCeveryday]

Just m3, any length between 8mm and 12mm or so will work

[@SebastienMongecadet-rq8vq]

👍👌👍

[@Travis5.56]

It’ll never run with that firing order

[@devonkunkel3355]

i remember when you didnt like/trust lipos

[@RCeveryday]

Me too. Lol. Come a long way. Just had my first ever swell on me.

[@Cranklotus]

My black K10 didnt have springs inside the shocks. Was it suppose to?

[@RCeveryday]

No. It wasn’t supposed to

[@apocalypsezombyRC]

When are they releasing? Looks great!

[@RCeveryday]

Right now!

[@apocalypsezombyRC]

Model krásný, ale zbytečně moc řečí... raději kdybyste ho ukázali v přírodě v akci...

[@ryano8613]

Shackle angles are all bad
