Honestly what this kit really needs is a Proper Front Clip Conversion to the 81-87 (or 81-93 Suburban, Jimmies and Mexican R/V C/K trucks) C/K model Years, that, and a 2 wheel Drive IFS for the TF2 chassis, that would make these Trucks all the more versatile in terms of what you want to build... Not everyone wants a 4x4 Off-road scaler, id like to build a Real nice 2wd C10 short-bed to match my real C10 Short-bed.

I think the K10 body has more space for the tires than the blazer body. So if you want to build a truck with small wheels, you need to convert the blazer body. How about a conversion kit to an 80s squarebody? That should be very popular.

@shrinkrc 8 ай бұрын

The front wheel well on the Scottsdale has a little more clearance at the back of the tire. So far no plans for a later model conversion mostly because its a very involved project. I do get a request for that once in a while.

i've already got a front end conversion,

Chevy Square body trucks also came with bucket seats. I prefer the bench seat though. Cool video man. 🤙🏽

@shrinkrc 10 ай бұрын

I did some research that says you are correct, the buckets were apparently an option! I did not know that, thanks for the info! Jesse

@Shade_tree_garage01 8 ай бұрын

they were only an option from 1973-1976 after that they were gotten rid of and all you got was either Vinyl or cloth bench.

@ryurc3033 10 ай бұрын

Leaf spring shackle relocation is almost required right out of the box, along with a servo, speed controller, motor...I don't think the conversion bits will stop selling because so many parts of the rc4wd kit are hard to live with.

@shrinkrc 10 ай бұрын

I agree, as usual the electonics are nothing to write home about, and the weird shackles are, well, weird. There definitely still some folks doing the conversion. Also if you want to do a flatbed or something like that, the conversion is the way to go since you can support the cab with 4 screws.

Well hang on to your scale parts 😂 because FMS has new 1:10 scale crawlers that look just like the 1:24 scale Chevy Blazers they have. One is the same orange & white & it seems a bit bigger then 1:10 scale but it’s amazing & has all the features of a TRX 4 & dig & the chassis is amazing. But the body is just absolutely beautiful can’t wait to get one the owner of FMS said November is when they should be available.

I just heard about that, I'm very curious to see it!

Nice video bro. I bought one of the K10’s from RC4WD and the paint in one area on fender had scratches on it! I don’t understand their quality it’s very bad! Have you ever had problems with their stuff? Thanks

@thomaspayne4507 10 ай бұрын

Everyone has problems with there stuff. my blazer had stripped ring gear in the rear diff and I made sure all screws were tight before first run I was pissed for the price of the rig I will never buy a rc4wd product from them again

@brianwood9849 10 ай бұрын

@@thomaspayne4507 Hello , yes their stuff is a love hate relationship with me lol I have too much of their stuff and really love the scale details of their machines. Their quality is a JOKE sometimes and pisses me off! Although their customer support is good and will always replace whatever is wrong. I wish that I didn’t like their stuff , I would have more money……

@shrinkrc 10 ай бұрын

Some call their RTR's "ready to rebuild." All the screws come without loc-tite, so they fall out (drive shafts for example) unless you take it apart and put it back together with loc-tite. Also I've found some screws badly overtightened. My Scottsdale came with excessive glue on the lighting wires that was sagging and showing in the fender well from outside, and I had to trim it away. The electronics are meh, like most RTR's, and they can't handle a ton of power without breaking. That being said, I am one of their biggest fans because they make hard bodies with nice scale details that nobody else makes, and ShrinkRC probably wouldn't exist without them. I have never called their customer service for an issue but I have always heard they are very good but also take some time.

I’m just waiting for them to release the body kit by itself.

@shrinkrc 10 ай бұрын

I hear its gonna be a while (it usually is), no official info though. When they do I'll make mounts for it.

@JD-tl7ld 10 ай бұрын

Please come out with something for the SCX10 III. I hate, hate, hate those factory mounts.

@shrinkrc 10 ай бұрын

The SCX10iii is a thorny one for me hahah. I know they are very popular, and the original 10 and 10ii are some of the best rigs ever. I also have a SCX10 Pro which is one of my best trucks. But the 10iii has huge transmissions and some other issues that really are hard to work with for me. So far I have no plans to support it unfortunately.

@rc_amigos 10 ай бұрын

Maaan I really want to build one of these someday! If I did the blazer kit on an enduro, whats the biggest tire that would fit? I love the look of these rigs.

@shrinkrc 10 ай бұрын

If you want to fit with no trimming and no rubbing you have to go tiny, like 3.9 or even less. You can go 4.19 with some rubbing and/or some trimming. Any bigger than that get out the hatchet.

When u going to have crew cab conversion?

@shrinkrc 5 ай бұрын

I've always recommended buying an extra body (just the shell) for this. Its stronger and cheaper than what I can make.

@r.s.customz1502 9 ай бұрын

Why not just start making parts for the new Scottsdale too. 🤷‍♂️ the main reason people like the new Scottsdale is its leaf sprung.

@shrinkrc 9 ай бұрын

I have parts for the Scottsdale, including a hood scoop, front bench seat, roll pan, and dually fenders in two different widths. Soon I will offer body mounts as well. If you have suggestions for any other parts send 'em my way.

That Green short box is killer. What green is that? I love it!!!! Looks 100% better than the blue rtr!!!!!!!

Thank you very much! Its a Mopar color, F8 Green, painted by my buddy (@slow.crawler on Instagram). He paints 1:1 cars and trucks for a living, and he used automotive paint.
