Leaf Springs Make Everything Better - TwistedFabCo VS4-10 Leaf Conversion

[@rcgoodtimes6657]

This thing not only looks great, but all the creeking and clicking it’s making while driving is awesome too.

[@guest6423]

Vanqlick.

[@Jeeplee_rc]

The sounds it makes is satisfying 🤌

[@1957fuzz]

Twistedfab knocked it out of the park with their leaf springs. The truck looks so planted and stable. The infamous vanquish clicking 😂

[@ares333x2]

The ticking sound is an authentic scale rod knock in the r22 4 banger 😂

[@RIdeWerksInc]

Great looking truck Matt.. your attention to detail is always inspiring to me. Thank you for just being you

[@scalebuildersguild]

My pleasure! Thanks for watching!

[@rquino4210k]

Awesome build! Twistedfab Co knocks it out the park with his leaf springs. You know Josh lowkey wants to build in after seeing this thing work.

[@scalebuildersguild]

Ha! He'll never admit it!

[@racincase87]

Another great video and awesome truck! But did someone put a zip-tie on the driveshaft? 😂

[@richardlynch9666]

Baseball card in the spokes

[@Casitascrawlers]

That trail with all the ladders I forgot the name but it was awesome so many different features I hit the slider as well there where a lot of other great lines through that entire trail.

[@gmnj5435]

Over the top Matt. Especially the knocking under the hood.....lol

[@Qfrcy]

The truck came out soo good! Love how it handles with leafs!

[@scalebuildersguild]

Thank you!

[@TrailJero]

Just got to love this truck! Great work!

[@HighhScore]

This is some real Toyota guy stuff right here. Seen plenty of rigs that look just like this on the trail. Amazing job

[@scalebuildersguild]

Thank you!

[@longtalltexanrc3358]

Fantastic build, fantastic performance, fantastic video. You hit the trifecta!

[@scalebuildersguild]

Thank you kindly!

[@Luka_kolic706]

I put my stage 1s made my tf2 a whole different truck!!! Love the video and support for twistedfab!!!

[@westdesertwheeler]

Great to meet you there man looks like a fun run in the shitbox!

[@scalebuildersguild]

Great to meet you too! It was definitely a fun run!

[@WandererOfTheDesert]

Matt, it was nice meeting you and you signing my cow. You do amazing builds and a great channel. Dig this video and the rig. Stay safe and safe travels.

[@scalebuildersguild]

Great to meet you! Had a great time, but happy to be going home!

[@WandererOfTheDesert]

@scalebuildersguild OH and thanks for signing my cow.

[@CrowBelowCustoms]

Love the opening title card. Simple but perfect. The truck's good, too, I guess.

[@scalebuildersguild]

Glad you like it!

[@MatthewEzekiel-fc5xk]

Dude that thing looks awesome. It's flexing like my 1 to 1 83 chevy on 35's and 4 inch easy ride. It will drop front drive shaft flexing out. The weathered underside made that thing pop! Be safe I'm holding down Alabama.

[@wordreet]

Abso-leaf-ly!!!!!!!!!!! I recently acquired a GMADE Sawback Jeep with leaf springs, and was pleasantly surprised at how well it performs. The only thing I didn't like was having the battery at the back, so it's now at the front! Oh yes, and I'm going to strip the annoying chrome plated steel chassis and let it rust!!!!!!!

[@bigjeep_littlejeep3777]

That truck came out awesome. Probably one of my favorite ones yet!

[@scalebuildersguild]

Thank you!

[@Tdawg0429]

Saw it at PLBTF. Looks like it ran pretty well. Was also nice meeting you.

[@scalebuildersguild]

Nice meeting you too!

[@small.and.even.smaller]

Nice shots from crawling. Truck handled it like a king.

[@scalebuildersguild]

Thanks 👍

[@Scalepinnacle]

Saw this truck at proline by the fire , nice truck🔥👍🏼

[@scalebuildersguild]

Thank you!

[@caledoncrawlersrc2216]

This truck came out amazing! I love me some Yotas! I need to build something like this with twistedfabco leafs! ❤

[@scalebuildersguild]

Go for it!

[@Bradkozakandfriends1830]

Awesome build. Even looks better in action. Great video.

[@scalebuildersguild]

Thanks 👍

[@rc-daily]

Easily my favorite build of yours

[@scalebuildersguild]

Thank you! I really like it as well!

[@rc-daily]

@scalebuildersguild I have 2 phoenixs. Maybe this winter I'll build a leafer. I really want a 4 door mojave though

[@Moe44125]

Great job Matt ❤ I can't believe the flex Darla has.

[@scalebuildersguild]

Thank you!

[@fredhenschel2517]

So awesome Matt !!! hope you had a great time !!!

[@scalebuildersguild]

Had a great time, thanks!

[@henryurbina2555]

Nice job. It was really cool watching the leaf springs flex. Looks like a great time, hope to get out there one day!!

[@scalebuildersguild]

You should! It was a lot of fun!

[@RadRaf]

FINALLY! Some Darn tootin, Huckleberry lovin', six shootin' God Bless 'Murica terrain video!! YEEEHAWWW!!! Git' it!

[@ShoddyRC]

Awesome looking build! Honored to play a small part and it’s cool to see those bead lock rings being put to good use!

[@scalebuildersguild]

Thanks again!

[@just.jose.youtube]

That looks like s lot of fun! Truck looks amazing! 👌

[@dodgeboy2146]

I absolutely love this build I wouldn't change a thing

[@scalebuildersguild]

Thank you!

[@simon_says_shhh]

Good looking tribute build. I'm surprised you found some un populated trail sections. Was fun following behind you and Josh during we rc rock comp.

[@VermontScaleCustoms]

As an owner of a very well broken in TF2, I can appreciate that creaking noise at 4:33.

[@blacktirebikecompany]

Beautiful work.

[@scalebuildersguild]

Thank you very much!

[@trex7624]

The truck looks amazing Matt

[@clintonlloyd8561]

Love the truck. Definitely going to do the conversion

[@scalebuildersguild]

You should!

[@navigationmanship]

Nice truck!! Looks good, performs well, sounds like you clipped a playing card to the spokes to make a cool motor noise! 😂❤ 👍🏼✌️

[@forrestcrabbe]

The leaf springs look real good. Awesome video 🤘🍻🤘

[@scalebuildersguild]

Thank you 🤘

[@outcastrc8052]

Nice running video of your recent build Matt! Did you use the polaroid camera lens conversion to shoot the video footage?

[@Vocunld]

So awesome! I might try leaf springs now! 😁

[@scalebuildersguild]

Go for it!

[@blair384]

Absolutely love it!! Awesome build

[@scalebuildersguild]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@rcboys619]

amazing build

[@robsadler7094]

That truck looks fantastic!

[@scalebuildersguild]

Thank you!

[@HBFTimmahh]

Did you stick a card in the spokes?

[@larrybarnhart7532]

Definitely Awesome Build 😮

[@Axial32]

One day I'll build a leafer. Looks like a riot

[@scalebuildersguild]

Go for it!

[@victorslater9931]

As always, a great video!

[@scalebuildersguild]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@BlindGuyRc]

I think this is a great build. I hope you keep it. OH. Btw. HAPPY BIRTHDAY MAN !

[@scalebuildersguild]

Thank you!

[@Jaxon900rr]

Bravo Sir!

[@davidwatlington3737]

Impressive!

[@chrispearce9224]

Have you inspected the driveshaft cross pins for that grind noise? Sure sounds like something bad going on with the driveshafts. Truck looks cool and unique. Hopefully you can find the problem.

[@britainparkinson1092]

Love how you used the micro crawler clubs course with the bridges haha. Did you get to take a 1/24 or 1/18 through it?

[@adrian15041994]

Most of my 1/10 rigs are on leafs. Leaf spring generally can't achieve the flex of links, but otherwise they have a lot of advantages IMO: -They are generally very stable, especially when on three wheels(where a linked truck simply flips over catastrophically past their balance threshold). This behavior is unachievable with links unless you use shocks that have dual balancing springs on both ends of the piston, so the spring is pushed into balance from both directions. Leafs are intrinsically very happy on three wheels, and often you are still very far from flipping at that point. -They are very easily tunable(by adding or removing leafs from the pack), and you also get an additional layer of tunability in the shocks/dampers, where you could use another spring or just control the damping rate. -They are also quite low profile, especially in the back. -I also like to think they have built in impact protection: the leafs wrap under impact instead of being held rigid by the triangulated geometry of links. -They look damn great!

[@zachgrabow9541]

You could also use the old hanging air freshener/inclinometer trick. Works fine

[@RC_Fabricator]

Jokes on you!! Someone snuck a baseball card inside your wheel at the VP booth…

[@toddanderson98]

Such a Awesome build!

[@scalebuildersguild]

Glad you like it!

[@asian-ugrclab2367]

Freaking love it!! 🔥💯🤙🏾😎

[@dattcten6798]

Fun fact this truck is based off a 1:1 build! twisted fab co makes the best leaf springs in the game!

[@neildaniels5443]

Great video, even better Truck, i think da fan belt might need replacing n da tappets need lookin at..........😅

[@Axial_Andrew]

I thought it might be a tad early, for Canadian leaves...🍁 Stay leaf sprung, my friends...😎

[@scalebuildersguild]

😂

[@davidobrien5754]

Just awesome

[@oldironsfury]

Crawling 🤩 what a darling 😅 👍👍beautiful tiny truck

[@scalebuildersguild]

Thank you!

[@oldironsfury]

@@scalebuildersguildyou’re very welcome

[@jaredgreen502]

What do you do to flatten your leafs so much??? I love how low it sits & how it flexs

[@walterbryan1798]

Love it!

[@madmikescustoms]

God that truck works great as a leafer

[@scalebuildersguild]

Thank you!

[@WoolstyRC]

I like how you made the drive train scabby like the paint job great work 👏🏼 whats your trick

[@scalebuildersguild]

A wanton disregard for aluminum. Haha! Just spray paint and airbrush detailing.

[@chubn1]

you know Matt RC4wd also makes some leaf sprung RTR's with Tamiya connectors on the esc even...

[@PhoenixRCCrawler]

those rocks look familiar

[@davidobrien5754]

I like that rock that's a nice rock

[@RC.SRT.MAGNUM]

Very cool 😎💯

[@Cranklotus]

How do the leafs compare to NWSD bouncing Betty chassis/leafs?

[@MrTynado]

Happy birff day matt

[@scalebuildersguild]

Thank you!

[@smallfact0ry921]

I just keep wondering how long till vanquish decides to release some housing with leaf spring mounts.

[@scalebuildersguild]

Not if Josh has anything to do with it 😂

[@erichawkins6231]

See leaf springs can crawl just fine linked rigs take less skill to drive I will always love the challenge of a full leaf truck plus the scale realism is awsome all of my 1/1 Toyotas are on leaf springs as well

[@Goferris]

one day I'll make it to PLBTF

[@scalebuildersguild]

You should! It's a lot of fun!

[@RICHSTER2U]

Amazing build looks even better on the trail. Never had a leaf spring truck but it is on the list. It looks great and i like it looks like the trail driving fun i enjoy doing. Great work got my approval cant wait to build my own soon.

[@scalebuildersguild]

Go for it!

[@SaltPondRC]

creeks like my knees. but does it grunt when it sits down?

[@scalebuildersguild]

Ha!

[@chriscord6524]

How’s the view from up there? On your own level. It’s beautiful from here on the peasant plains.

[@edwardclass4086]

What's the front bumper?

[@scalebuildersguild]

That’s a metal TF2 bumper from RC4WD.

[@orcrawler7387]

Even has the “Toyota tick”😅

[@rc_tom]

I don't want spoil the fun... but has anybody noticed the giants in the background of some of the shots? They seem 10 times larger than a human... also it looks like a wasteland... or a desert... i though the Toronto area was much greener... What happened in Canada?

[@JW-cn6op]

Is that a square tube front driveline or just a stock toyota worn out cv? Haha

[@Andy_C_aka_Cliff_McCrawl]

Is this the truck with the 3D printed spur gear? Looks awesome! Sounds aweful 😂

[@Suprzemodelworks]

Whats the clicking?

[@scalebuildersguild]

Probably a wire on a driveshaft. Thats how I build stuff. 😂

[@jasonmoore5686]

Truck looks good on the trail, but sounds like you got a card in the spur or something boss

[@maxflippage9758]

Fantastic video of one of my favorite builds. Let your janky flag fly, boyeee!

[@scalebuildersguild]

Thank you!

[@paulmcnamara2908]

Cool been waiting to see the old girl running. What is that awful clicking sound, dude did you break it already?

[@mickeysrccrawl]

She’s looking gooood, but that clicking sound Mat 🤔

[@taylorweisenberger3251]

I think that’s the front screw in the bottom of the skid. They hit the spur gear

[@kjflyte5088]

Tires are new lol. Jj

[@OutlawFarmersRC]

I have to be honest. The retro filter on the video just made my eyes strain to much to watch. The constant blur and out of focus on a 55in screen is just bad. I really love your content and this build! No sweat though there will be more.

[@scalebuildersguild]

Sorry to hear that! Just trying something new!

[@OutlawFarmersRC]

@@scalebuildersguild watched on my Ipad. It was WAY better on the small screen.

[@shafiqjan1474]

She's a looker, eh?

[@Copper_State_RC_Crawler]

Those ain't no Canada rocks

[@scalebuildersguild]

Definitely not!
