[@AddamsPlayground]

I have always loved the look of those big barrel springs on these! The truck is starting to look like something now! Enjoy the rest of the build John and have a great rest of your week!

[@JF-RC]

Hi Addam, thank you for watching my friend, sorry I’m delayed, just change roles in my work, needed to do some extra training, hopefully it pays dividends later, when I finally have to look for another job 😎😉😎it starting to look like a really mean machine 😉I hope that you and the family are keeping well. Best wishes 😎😉😎

[@UncleBobsRC]

I always found those springs funny looking, however, I do like the way they are held in place... Very cool video John, ATB to the family!!!!!

[@JF-RC]

Hey Bob, sorry for the delay, I’ve just taken a new role at my company, in a bid that the experience will help,when I finally have to look for a permanent position elsewhere, as my company are fazing out personal lines insurance. Anyway, the marvellous RockSocker! This thing is amazing, I’ve got the 4WS, large shocks and larger wheels, I reckon that this will run rings around the Clod Buster, too bad that I’m not in the States 😂🤣😉😎give you a race 😉😎😉best wishes to you and the family, hope you’re slowly feeling better and better 😉😎😉

[@NANNIRC]

Hi John, super springs! Tamiya works great and you too. Ciao

[@JF-RC]

Hi Nanni, thank you for popping by, watching and leaving me a comment. This is such a great Tamiya to build, I’m looking forward to running this big Tamiya. Best wishes to you and the family 😉😎😉

[@FastFreddyRC]

How cool is that! Such a different way of putting the springs on and in most Tamiya kits you usually have that big plastic cylinder inside of the spring and with this one it's just the spring itself....very cool!

[@JF-RC]

Hey Freddy, thank you for watching my friend, this is an amazing chassis, everything on this chassis is so different to the remaining Tamiya chassis line up. I hope that you and the family are keeping well. Best wishes 😎😉😎

[@HaydadRC]

I’ve never seen barrel springs before, very interesting! Nice work my friend! 👍😊

[@JF-RC]

Hi Jeremy, thank you for popping by, watching and leaving me a comment. This chassis from Tamiya is so different, it’s really refreshing. Best wishes to you and the family 😉😎😉

Good job, brother

[@JF-RC]

Hi, thank you for popping by, watching and leaving me a comment. Best wishes to you and the family 😉😎😉

[@RCBirds]

Now I'm envious😁. Mine has only standard springs. These barrel shaped're much better but also hard to get here. Great building video John.

[@JF-RC]

Hi Dirk, thank you for popping by, watching and leaving me a comment. Oh yes, this chassis is so different from other Tamiya’s. Best wishes to you and the family 😉😎😉

[@Fonzierc]

Very nice John another great build 👍 great progress I don't think I have ever seen this model before .

[@JF-RC]

Hi Fonzie, thank you for watching. I appreciate you popping by. It’s a great looking monster truck / trail / crawler, I’m super excited with this one, so different to the rest of the Tamiya chassis line up. Best wishes 😉😎😉

[@tiborvon]

Nice bench work Jon buddy 👌

[@JF-RC]

Hi Tibster, thank you for popping by, watching and leaving me a comment. Best wishes to you and the family 😉😎😉

[@BangForYourBuckRc]

Hi John! Hope all is going well with you and yours! I love how these springs are captured in their assigned places. Really cool and well thought out, especially being this unconventional! Looks to be really secured well! Take care my friend. This thing is almost there. I can’t wait!😝👍🏻🙌

[@JF-RC]

Hi Robby, thank you for watching my friend, I hope that you and the family are keeping well. This chassis is just great, like you say, different and unconventional from the rest of the Tamiya chassis line up. The suspension is super efficient, I am looking forward to doing some trails first, then perhaps push it a little more for some more difficult terrain. Take care my friend, Best wishes to you and the family 😎😉😎

[@madmustangrc214]

As always a great video from you John. Interesting shock set up for sure. Hope you and the family are keeping well.

[@JF-RC]

Hi Kev, thank you for popping by and matching. I really like this great chassis, it’s just the different chassis that does it for me. I hope that you and the family are keeping well. Best wishes to you all 😎😉😎

[@sparetimerc]

Hi John, that is a different swing for me. Just like Haydad, I have never seen barrel springs before. That just blew me away.

[@JF-RC]

Hey Al, thank you for watching my friend, oh yes, this chassis is so much more different to the other Tamiya chassis, really love this Rock Socker, it’s a mean looking machine 😉😎😉I hope that you and the family are keeping well. Best wishes 😎😉😎
