My SCX10II Gets a Mojave 2 Body! (LEAF SPRING CONVERSION PT 2)

[@moparbay1358]

for securing the body to the body mount, I use set screws the same size of the body mounting screws and leave roughly 3/16 protruding then put the body on aligning the protruding set screws with the body mount holes. Makes removing the body a lot faster and tool less.

[@zeeptollbooth4129]

The truck is awesome! But oh girl..The struggle, The struggle girl.! But Cha Made it through! Praise Be!

[@air-headedaviator1805]

I love how there’s so many aftermarket mods and stuff for rc cars. You wouldn’t expect that for rc planes til up at a certain margin. Makes this fun!

[@sergeant816]

Love it. Reminds me of my first truck. In 1995 I had a 1983 Toyota 22r. Just finished adding the lift and new steering servo on my trx4 bronco. You doll are awesome.

[@Jjcustomsllc]

Great JOB Haley 👍

[@raymondcbaker30]

Oh wow that's a really slick looking truck. Nice build young Lady!

[@wvbassassassin]

That paint job looks great! I really like the flat paint.

[@rcmindset2876]

Been watching you a few years and can’t believe other women are not doing what you do. It’s brilliant and hope all is well.

[@soflorclife6970]

It sure is an awesome looking truck!! Love all the details, so scaled!!! 👊🏼😍👍🏼

[@rccarnage580]

Good job, it looks awesome. Congrats on the work done. I love the accessories on the back

[@manchinator7773]

I use 20mm grub screws that I set flush with the body on my TF2. It holds the body well and you just pull the body outward and lift it off. No tools required. Hope this helps, Steve.

[@kg5nja693]

Wow I mean WOW!!! That really looks awesome. Great work. I cant wait for PT.3

[@SomethingBlack]

try grub screws to mount the body, gently pull the body over the screws, works well with my tf2

[@travisgilmore2127]

Something a lot of us that have Trailfinders do for quick body removal is replace the mounting screws with grub style ones then just stretch the body over them. quick easy mod and it makes living with a hardbody much easier.

[@alanhafer828]

Looks awesome! 10 extra points for not giving up! 👍👍👍👍👍😀

[@guerrillaradio9953]

Read your bio; so cool that you're a fellow science nerd as well as a fellow R/C nerd! Love the leaf springs, they give me nostalgia goosebumps for the days of my trusty Tamiya Bruiser i had as a teenager....which they now are remaking!

[@discoveryrc]

Awesome project. Dig that color. So many ideas for my next build.

[@Rare_Brad]

WOW. You did an incredible job on that rig. It's super clean. Can't wait to hear and see how it performs. Thanks for the videos.

[@TaltosVT]

Great looking truck. I love the color and the four-door body.

[@ThePrawn79]

You can use long Grub screws or cut just the head off existing screws then just flex body on to screws and wala easy secure quick body mount.

[@OldMan4of4]

This build help me decide on the type and style of my very first RC. Love the style of scale crawlers. Patiently waiting for my kit to arrive.

[@RCGirl]

Oh awesome!!! What did you get?

[@OldMan4of4]

RC Girl - I’m going with the LC70 body and the BRX01 chassis. Tons of upgrades have already been ordered.

[@captainkidd1329]

I have an SSD TKP which is an scx10 frame. I put the blazer body on it. Ordered front links for the rear. I did cut my body for the shocks because they are awesome. I have the same iron! It’s awesome 😊

[@graymatter45]

Looks awesome. I put long grub screws in the body mount holes. Then you can flex the body to remove it .

[@patrickh4540]

Weeeee coming home from work, and there is a new video! Made my day.

[@fixedgear.fl.4225]

Very sweet build. I love the Toyota bodies. Also, your color choice is one of my favorite....green. My toyota is army green. Super video. Beautiful rig. 🙂

[@SwampersRC]

If you install set screws in place of the body mounting screws you can mount/dismount the body by stretching it outward a little. The two black screws on the sides help hold on the bed. I mount my TF2 lwb body this way and can lift the truck by the roll bar! I have the same roll bar, btw!

[@rcaviatormodeler]

Glad to see you again

[@alphamale1568]

I use longer, smaller diameter screws going through the body and kept in place with nylock nuts. The screws become "posts" that will slip into the holes of the mount so you never screw or unscrew anything again. Just pull outward on the sides of the body to put it on or pull it off. You can even fill in the holes to hide the screw heads or cover the lower parts with scale diamond plate. : )

[@Tamiyapower]

I wish we had those kind of accessories in South Africa, maybe I am just looking at the wrong Hobby Stores, AWESOME BUILD

[@kinslersrccustoms6945]

RC Gril your Toyota looks really really good! Nice and clean and your setup for the back end is a winner in my books and I hope that it works as good as it looks out on the trails.

[@rickboyster8014]

Love the rig and can't wait to see you take it out on the trails for a complete test. Hope it handles as good as it looks, it looks amazing! Way to go RCGIRL U ROCK!!!

[@crow7291]

Reeeeeeeefreshing!!!. How is it that I learnt more from watching 3 of your videos than I have done watching dozens of others. Just great content put across really well and it's not clicky.. Like I said at the beginning refreshing!.. And good work. Don't tell me you play the guitar aswell as rc and mountain biking?!?! 😮😮😁👍🏻

[@BOBH1953]

Wow what a great job you did, CONGRATS !!!

[@whitecompany18]

Love the color , almost the same as my Land Rover 90 , I found using the stick on alloy wheel lead weights for balancing tyres good to stick on under my body, it got the leaf springs working a lot more once the body weight was up . A roof rack would look awesome on that. Great build so far 👍

[@andyrichey1192]

Yeah super cool, great job on the class one truck !! I love it. Really digging on the paint color. Love your videos, i'll be watching more .

[@MacSide01]

Great job on your conversion. You've inspired me to do the same with my jeep. I'll keep the jeep body though. I suggest use use magnets for your body rather than screws. With magnet, you can also wire your lights to them so there is no wiring cable from the body to the chassis.

[@richardkautz2947]

Going to Leaf Spring suspension is the coolest ! 👍

[@alexhardwick2855]

Awesome looking rigs well done on the build and the colour is lovely.

[@Tylerharrell64]

You could still do a magnet mount with the body and mounts you used. You would have to do some cutting, but pretty much where your screws are, get some 4mm magnets and have them line up so your body snaps in place when it gets close. Just make sure you use strong ones so you don't hit a big bump and have the body fall off.

[@crawlingri]

Glad you didn’t cut the bed! Looks way better!

[@jonthomas8487]

Looks great! What about yellowing out your fogs? 3m makes a protective film you can cut and see if you like it. Us Subaru guys with Outbacks like it because rocks kill our 4.5” fogs

[@Sanchito209]

Truck looks awesome! The leaf springs are really cool

[@keithcarchide806]

Try using grub screws instead of screwing the body on n off u can just stretch the body over the grub screws i use the same set up on my trailfinder 2. Great job the truck looks amazing 👍👍

[@Warwick3511]

For fixing the body to the chassis you can replace the screws with grub screws. Then you just stretch the body over them

[@corabbring8198]

Your truck looks great, You can be proud.

[@ryand4786]

Truck looks awesome , the color especially 👍

[@toddbertram6556]

I really really like this build. It is going to look amazing with a year's worth of rock rash. Next would be to start fabricating some custom bumpers and minimal cagework. That said this truck kicks ass

[@gwpattrick]

I like the color. Olive darb is my favorite color or similar green like this truck. Can't wait to see it in action

[@ryanbrockmiller1648]

Use the same screw holes for mounting the body only use grub screws. Then just slide the body over the grub screws. It’s pretty easy to take the body on and off. That’s how I have my Mojave’s body mounted.

[@evans9825]

Nice build! I really don't have any suggestions! You got this!

[@coolcycles]

Indicator lights are nice, if you've got a separate channel for them. An auto-off, when steering ist straight again would be dope, but all electronics kits I know about have dumb disco modes instead.

[@ametykathy]

Lot of work! Looks great! Im work on mine but i use hpi venture and body fits very well. Allowa me to use interiors.

[@radmantommy8015]

Hi RC Girl that completed model looks great an the suspension loveing it all that you have done looks great job done looking forward to next vlog nice one RC Girl 👍👍🤗🤗

[@gobybike99]

Cool build and details about Sorcca

[@bjmcfarland1]

that is a great looking truck and you did an amazing job on the over all build; the color is great, decals fit in great and i just really like the way it looks. You are very talented and really would like to have a truck like that some day.

[@kingscott1002]

To move the axle back a bit, try using TF2 leaf springs. They’re a little bit longer and would move the axle back a little. Also check out the BowhouseRC motor reverse kit and front better tray. Their motor reverse kit offers a front brace to support the transmission a little more. The trucks looking killer though. Look forward to a running video.

[@vanfanel2776]

I'm a huge fan of leaf springs. More technical driving required. Good job, ma'am. 🖖

[@JesseBMotors]

Truck looks great and great video 👍

[@crawlerrc]

Muy bonito Crawler!! Gracias por sus videos, espero poder tener en breve mi pickup para mi Chanel

[@willgerdesrc3687]

I've seen the same set up you might try instead of screwing the body on to use large worm screws and then the body will pop off an on without any wrenching!

[@peterbleil9169]

Wow that turned out really awesome you did a Grate job well done . Thanks allso for the links I'm going to need the decal sheet for my 2 door mojave and some of the other links will be handy as well . Cool thanks again for this awesome post. Cheers!

[@nathanstewart2018]

Really loving the scale builds. Looks great.

[@RcHobbySteve]

I notice you spoke about the pain of having to remove the 4 mounting screws to get the body off. Quick Mod for the get a grub acrew of the same length for all 4 slots and all you'll need to do is pull the side out and pop the body comes off.

[@RCGirl]

Oh wow!! Great idea 👍

[@RcHobbySteve]

@@RCGirl there should be a youtube video of it I believe

[@jamesswift4641]

It is a really nice looking truck.

[@GURBLEGOP]

Dude you're builds are amazing.

[@KurtsRCs]

Nice looking truck, can't wait to see how it drives👍👍

[@feeling_lucky_4560]

For my marlin crawler i did grub screws body snaps on and off easy

[@RCGirl]

Yep I've since done that!

[@feeling_lucky_4560]

@@RCGirl so much easier id pull my hair put everytime i had to swap a battery or anything my friend did a bed tool box that the battery fit in so battery swaps were simpler

[@timdoyle8199]

Yep definitely , 2 set screws on each side will do the trick for body mounting , Leave just a few threads so you can lightly softly stretch the body over...

[@rcintro1489]

Really an amazing job! Looks awesome!!! Can't wait till you take it to an event!

[@briangardner665]

Truck Looks awesome, you did a great job.

[@Stony420]

Have you considered doing the grub screw mod for pulling the body off and on easier?

Like the stripes, looks original. Shouldn't the back marker lights be red instead? Looks amazing though.

[@Chicoelwahsh]

Great Job RC Girl, Thank you for those awesome videos.

[@donharsh5469]

Awesome RC Girl I watched all the videos don from Nebraska great job

[@daviddillon6794]

Nice looking truck for sure.

[@vlozity]

I am counting only SORRCA 44 scale pts total, you can max it out at 50 pts Your wipers, side mirrors and door handles are worth 3 scale pts already, so you can remove the shovel and whatever it is inside the white bucket. lower the body a little, there are bolt-on fender for this body on RC4WD site and can help with clearance when you lower it. would be really helpful to have a winch and some functional items like a sand ladder... oh and dont forget metal bumpers with d-rings.

[@samkowalski392]

Besides clearance is their a benefit to cantilever shocks crawlers, like better stability while crawling etc...? I was thinking about doing something similar to my rig (scx10ii) but didn't want to negativley impact crawling performance. I tried to look online but couldn't really find much input.

[@RCGirl]

I'll have to see how it performs and keep you posted!

[@EQ541]

Really nice truck! Good work!

[@whoknows8678]

Truck looks great, as do you! :) I haven't followed your channel for a while because you seemed to have gotten away from R/C aircraft, which is my real love.

[@fozzysrchobbies1343]

Nice build , I as well have the same x tronic soldering station. Love it ....... By chance are you attending the Midwest Axail fest in June in Attica In

[@paulwoodcome5818]

That is so sweet, you did an awesome job !!! Wish i had some extra money to do that.

[@scale6039]

Very nice done 👍👍

[@RcHobbySteve]

Also if you plan on using a rear bumper, rc4wd sells a frame rail extender for those bodies so you can use a tf2 rear bumper
