Installing the RC4wd scale v8 belt accessory in the trailfinder 2 Blazer build.

[@Shade_tree_garage01]

Now it needs an alternator, power steering pump, headers OR manifolds, quadrajet carb, or edlebrock. Throttle linkage, fuel lines and vacuum lines and it will be accurate, atleast after you paint the block Corporate blue

[@celestinogalvan1076]

I wish rc4wd made more option parts for the v-8 , like a cluch fan and a starter.

[@RCCrawlerWorkbench]

Looks cool Josh. Thumbs-up

[@justinpatillo1432]

like what your doing buddy. building all the rat rod frames from scratch is very skillful. can't wait to get me a k10 blazer body and start building a project. those are my favorite truck.

[@fordcountry0307]

there is a link on the rc4wd page for the pulley kit the shows how someone moved the servo mount to the bumper mount space on the very front of chassis

[@robertrosson1990]

I just finished building same v8 but I got the detailed water pump instead still need go find the thermostat housing and I'm going to make a alternator to add more details. I mounted the SSD trans and transfer case on mine man sure looks the part have a ways to go still making headers and plugs and spark plug varies ect ect but will look awesome when finished.Thanks for sharing

[@dalegoodman1861]

I found headers for my RC4WD V8. They are plastic and white but work great! You just have to paint them.

[@RCeveryday]

Since this video came out there are several versions out there. I worked with RC4wd to design these for it as well. www.shapeways.com/product/VBQEL9DK6/rc4wd-v8-zoomie-headers-right-side?optionId=70393215

[@alphamale1568]

You might want to look into a low profile servo since you plan to change yours anyway. They are quite a bit shorter, but not sure about torque.

[@RCeveryday]

+Alpha Male Ive been looking at them for some time, the most torque I have found is around 150oz. Not sure that will be enough.

[@Nickwillfixit]

It needs a couple more pulleys, and an alternator and AC pump to make it look correct.You are right why there were no headers made at the same time as the motor Is crazy, I have seen a few 3D printed sets of headers not that nice, the best have been home made out of rod or tubing.

[@karlschweizer2554]

nick rc4wd the headers they make are so sweet they look so real

[@chrisrolfes6348]

Fantastic work. I have some great ideas from your vidz. I'm making a set of header for my set up. I'm sure you could make some too. The copper is fairly inexpensive.

[@dbcooper9401]

dude thats a nice truck.

[@rckn-rndlwestvirginiarc4388]

Enjoy all if your video's

[@madpower9640]

such cool details...one previouse video i didn`t caught waht you were saying quite wright...about making thge inside fenders with heat...you have some video trying that...from what i did understood it was cool skill to have to make parts...about this detailed scaled pieces they are awesome bro...water pump wright? so so cool :)

[@jeremyoshea7941]

Quick question, We just ran the first hour on our C2x Do those axles need to be Shinde hey seem Kinda loose may be a quarter inch play moving the truck back and forward or forward and back lol thank you! ……

[@RCeveryday]

These do have a little slop in them, but I havent shimmed mine. These axles are definitely looser than my metal rc4wd ones. Let me know if you do, Id be curious where it needs shimmed. Thanks!

[@anibalbabilonia1867]

Looks pretty awesome dude 👍👌nice work!

[@mikeymike3240]

nice vid, it's coming along well. I'm sure someone out there is making header's for this engine. pity rc4wd don't make one. 😃

[@chrisrolfes6348]

I'm still in the build stages but I have some pics of what I have so far. The header looks bitchin.

[@karlschweizer2554]

i am really going to fit a alternator on mine thats a must

[@ryanallen8091]

Wish the pulley spins when the motor turns

[@Nordmann61]

Thank you for a nice informative build video as always! Your Blazer is coming together really nice, and looks time, thanks to the realistic weathering you do so well. About the steering servo clearing problem: Can you move the steering servo forward, away from the engine, by using washers as spacers between the servo mount and the servo, if it is space for it between the servo and grille of course. 42$ for the pulley system, for that price they should include a radiator fan too at least, if not also a radiator! What will they charge for the exhaust manifolds if they offer that in the future. Have you thought about adding light and sound to your Blazer? If it is a problem to find space for the ESC, maybe a light and sound module can be placed in the back, behind the seats, concealed as boxes and things you bring along for a weekend at the cabin? Tamiya has the MFC-03, I have that one on my Tundra High Lift, and Servonaut also have light and sound modules, and other brands, I will see what I can fit on my Blazer. Cheers.

[@RCeveryday]

+Nordmann61 The only problem is the servo is all the way agains the inside of the front bumper already. I need a low profile servo but havent located one with high enough torque yet as they are all for drift cars. Then it will be easy to space it back a little. I have never had a MFCu before even on my semi trucks. That would be very cool.

[@pmm4177]

there are many manufacturers that do not include instruction, how hard would it be for them to put them up on their site? and toss a little strip of paper in the bag with the parts with the link printed on it. it's not rocket science but some men do like instructions lol

[@dbcooper9401]

do they make a set of headers for that? thats always one of the coolest things with a big truck, seeing the pipes up in the wheel wells.

[@RCeveryday]

+Gerri Dandridge Sadly no they dont. Not sure why as it has mounting holes for some.

[@dbcooper9401]

Josh Dutton yea, i seen that.

[@Antonio-RC]

good job on the install, I am hoping and waiting on a Ford body to tackle this project.

[@RCeveryday]

+NvFocus Antoni Im more of a chevy guy myself but what type ford body would you want to see? Bronco? F150?

[@Antonio-RC]

I think F150 would be cool, too many Broncos out already.

[@RCeveryday]

+NvFocus Antoni Vatera has that mid 80s f150. Just wish they were a hard body. Id love to see an early 60s ford truck body. Maybe a stepside bed on something. Would be cool to have removable rear fenders.

[@Antonio-RC]

Yeah, a mid 80s f150, hard body is what I would like to see by rc4wd.

[@ChrisParasRC]

its beautiful

[@19safe53]

Thanks for the info.

[@nickwalter9959]

you need to buy some team k&k hardware. that way you always have screws

[@mikewinans9953]

Josh I want a new project. I want to build a class 1 scale rig. do you think the d90 truck, land cruiser, or the k5 would be a better performer. already have a yota. thanks

[@RCeveryday]

+Mike Winans Id say the cruiser for a class 1 rig. Its very capable right out of the box and can still tuck a massive tire like mine has and be class 1 legal. Plus you get a complete full floor interior you can stack on the scale points with adding a driver and accessories.

[@paulmcnamara16]

check out David Selfox on True scale RC group on Face Book hes just making some headers for that engine. but yeah its bad that despite being so expensive they dont supply instructions for there gear

[@RCeveryday]

+paulmcnamara16 I've been a fan of David's for a while. He is a master. the true scale group is my favorite Facebook group as well. A lot of skilled folks sharing on there.

[@paulmcnamara16]

Josh Dutton Awesome Im just starting out int the scale rig game. And you and David are my main inspiration at the moment. Top work buddy love what your doing!!

[@RCeveryday]

+paulmcnamara16 Well, Im honored to be considered at his level but he makes my rigs look mediocre. lol My main focus is on the engineering side of the suspension and chassis, the scale stuff I can do is just out of luck. His focus is scale all the way. And he is quite good.

[@zakkaryt.snedeker4890]

Do a xl5 receiver

[@zaksrdanovich9649]

170$

[@Fireshaker9117]

What did you start with on this build scx10?

[@RCeveryday]

no its an rc4wd trailfinder 2

[@Fireshaker9117]

Okay, never herd of them before. How do they compare to the axial? Truck looks awesome by the way!

[@RCeveryday]

They are way more scale/realistic. Not quite as good performance wise.

[@gilbertgonzalez2167]

What trail finder 2 is it the short wheel Base?

[@RCeveryday]

+Gilbert Gonzalez store.rc4wd.com/RC4WD-Trail-Finder-2-Truck-Kit-SWB_p_4347.html

[@gilbertgonzalez2167]

+RC Everyday awesome thank you I want to build one to look like my 74 blazer.

[@RCeveryday]

+Gilbert Gonzalez No problem. Here is a link to my SWB build kzbin.info/aero/PLAMkddeJPSsyPsjg2gHF18uR4Ru8xRG-i

[@gilbertgonzalez2167]

+RC Everyday is that the same chassis you are using for your k5 body?

[@RCeveryday]

+Gilbert Gonzalez Oh no, the k5 is huge and fits the regular trailfinder 2 chassis. The one that comes with the toyota hilux body. The SWB will be several inches short for the K5 body

[@davidvick6199]

Do these engines run?

[@RCeveryday]

It houses the 540 electric motor

[@m.m.aautos6608]

RC Everyday get an actually mini v8 and put it in this instead of hiding a electric motor inside a fake v8

[@RCeveryday]

As far as I know no one makes a functional v8 this size. The only running scale v8 I've seen is 1/4 scale and cost around $7000.

[@vollickplaysgames]

are you new to planet earth?

[@kilo2180]

can i have one of your rcs because I cant afford a 300$ one

[@christopherlastname7638]

There 500 + !

[@user-hf8yl1wy8g]

++!

[@mnicol007]

hey Josh, hit me up on Face book so i can show you what i did with my esc cuz i have the same rtr trail finder. i have some tips you may benefit from. my name on fb is Myk Nicol
