Rc4wd TrailFinder 3 Chassis Overview/Comparison

Heya!! Figured it was a good time to share my thoughts on the new TF3 from Rc4wd. I got some time to drive it and see how it performs, but now we look at all the new features of this entirely new chassis. We also give a side-by-side comparison of TF3 and TF2.
Hopefully, you guys can deal with my sub-par KZbin skills lol, I’m just trying to fake it till I make it! If you enjoy what we’re doing please gimme a like and sub! Thank you!

keep up the good work, this is information we were all trying to find.

[@CapekScaleCreations]

Thank you sir! Appreciate the support! 👍💪🏼

[@RC.Time-Crawlers]

New subscriber! Nice to hear an open mind to change. Rear shock location looks way better. Take care!

[@daniels_199]

Thank you for makeing very informative content

[@CapekScaleCreations]

Welcome bud! 👍

[@scalebuildersguild]

Thanks for your take David. I'm still very much on the fence with this one. Do you expect them to release a kit?

[@CapekScaleCreations]

Thank you for taking the time to watch the video bud. I’m liking the truck besides the silly steering setup. I would think a kit version could show up hopefully before mid summer. Fingers crossed cause that would be a fun build…until the steering lol. Thank you again for view and support of our wonderful hobby. 👍💪🏼

Honestly from rc4wd’s track history, I don’t doubt and can’t wait for there tf3 kit. BUT!!! They need to update body or get a new body. This old hilux is overused and exhausting to see.

[@Drivingdrew719]

Awesome brother 👏 👍I'm trying to get the 4runner I think. I just got the gelande 2 back in Dec and I love it . This looks nice though

[@jonlaird5082]

Just found your channel and subscribed. Thanks for showing the difference . I'm still on the fence with the tf3. It's different but I don't understand why the standard tf3 is the same price as the tf2 but alot of the metal on the tf2 was replaced by plastic on the tf3. 1 thing I do like is how it's basically a modern day version of the tamiya bruiser except it was lowered. It'll be interesting to see how that bell crank steering set-up will handle the rocks during comps. My old tf2's are still going strong. Some still have the same gears that came stock on it like 6 years ago and held up great at local comps

I think your you tube skills are better than most , your close up shots are great!

[@419crawlers]

Great video!! I’m in the market for one of these! New subscriber

[@RCOffRoad76]

Like the engine/gearbox, very scale looking, not a fan of where the rear leaf springs mount, every leaf spring I've seen is mounted to the frame rails not on a chassis cross member

[@jonathanmathews3983]

Great video!! Thanks for sharing!!

[@CapekScaleCreations]

Thank you for watching!

[@BobSmith1980.]

I like the motor. It's funny we used to have to work so hard to make an accurate looking engine, now everything is coming with them.

[@BananaBabys]

Thanks very informative. I’m happy with my extra cab rtr tf2. Scale enough for me.

[@CapekScaleCreations]

Absolutely love my TF2 trucks! Still my favorite scale chassis. Thank you for watching bud!👍

[@justinhb26]

Do you have a lot of slop in the drivetrain?

[@mtrccrawler6300]

Siiick bro!!!

[@Big81Clos]

Great video!

[@CapekScaleCreations]

Thanks Carlos!!!

[@justinhb26]

Nice rig brother! I really want to get one of these, but I just watched a video of the tf2 and it had insane slop out of the box. Have the issues been addressed with the tf3?

[@oldironsfury]

Cool truck I feel with the leafs on the inside of the chassis in the rear it will be less stable (side hilling etc) Cool new truck and anything new to RC crawling is a good thing 👍👍

[@daniels_199]

It is the same width like on the TF2 - but the frame is wider

[@oldironsfury]

@@daniels_199 thank you for explaining the new chassis to me . I’m not downing the truck in anyway just (wondering about the designs side hill capabilities) hard body trucks already have it “hard” enough 🤦🏻‍♂️😂

I Follow you on Facebook. I also did the fusion. The pan fits real good. What's your secret? Mine has about 1/4 inch on the front side . Did you trim all cylinders inside. I only did on front side to fit wires coming off motor. They tuck up into that cylinder. I am just worried about trimming to much then having motor not line up into trans!!

[@CapekScaleCreations]

I took a little material off the pan and block. There’s still a little gap though. 👍

[@meirdeaph]

I also think its awsome

[@celesteblackburn3760]

Number #012 here quick question, when going in reverse with My Truck I experience the Front Tire Almost Waving around like a Frisbee that was thrown by a Child. I’m leading to believe I may have busted an Axle nothing looks Bent and I’ve doubled check all the Hardware on the front axle and both sides seems to be up to par. The Front Left seems to have way more play then the Right Front. Any Help would be much appreciated

[@CapekScaleCreations]

Hmmm…are you sure the screws are on both top and bottom of the knuckle? Sounds like you’re missing one. 👍

[@celesteblackburn3760]

@@CapekScaleCreations Alrighty will do!! Final Question would I be able to Use a TF2 Link kit on This Truck? I may have bent either Leaf Spring Shackle or U Bolts on 1 side when I compress my suspension in the front the Shackle on 1 side almost touches the Front Bumper Mount and the other side is far from it. “Looks like it Compresses to the Driver Side.” I’ll be sending Videos to better explain .

[@ryguyrc8029]

117 is master chiefs number in halo! Cool

[@evoone3039]

whats the wb on it. looks shorter than the tf2?

[@CapekScaleCreations]

Same WB as TF2 👍

[@rccrawler70]

Excellent Explanation.. Although the truth is that I am not entirely convinced by the position of the steering servo. Enjoy it.

[@DArealCHAZZ]

It's OK

[@stringsattached67]

Not bad I do prefer the older tf2 aluminum frame rails but it seems like a good rig to me.

[@FawknHayn2986]

It really needs a revamped on the front suspension. Having the leaf shackles up front dont make it scale to me maybe a samurai or a jeep where the shackles are in the front of the leaf spring up front than yeah but the front suspension needs to switch shackles i know there is kits but i want the company to try and figure it out

[@brianwood9849]

I like the trail finder 2 just as well if not more. Nothing really different except for all the cheap plastic

[@CapekScaleCreations]

Tf2 is my go-to scale truck chassis/platform. 👍

[@TinShackVideos]

Rear shackle angle.......barf

[@thatguywiththemiata]

I saw that too and was like yo what😂
