Trailfinder 2 Tech, Axles, XVD's, Yota 1 vs Yota 2, Fixing up Old Red

Scored a couple pair of the RC4wd XVD axle shafts for the yota 2 axles from my friends down at RChobbies Orlando. They always seem to have the hard to find parts. rc-hobbies.com...
I fix old red's axle and dig into my stash of broken axles to see if I can piece some together. We talk about the differences in the yota 1 and 2's.

Those yota 1 xvds WILL fit the yota 2 axles. I got one here with them in it, you don't get quite as much steering angle as the yota 2 xvds but its better then standard.

[@MikeLewis1964]

Bro, I feel the same way that you do about TF2 and the scale look you’re not alone out there with metal leaf springs. Love your channel bro

[@BC-rc]

I snapped 2 axles on mine when I first ran it, went cvd's and limited the steering. I takes an acre to turn but I'm living with it.

[@ClassicSteelRC]

Baaaadddaaaasss build Josh! I think I remember seeing the video of when you broke the axle shaft but I need to go through and make sure. Awesome video as always!

[@richysrc2158]

When I stripped the screws on my yota 2 axle I went on amazon and purchased a helicoil set and fix it the axle

[@smallkineoff-road5418]

what size?

[@R.Sole88109]

You need a Land Rover back in your life.😉 Rust on the chassis, bulkhead and bullbar, mud, grime, moss on the body. And some green moss with black lichen on the roof like I spent an hour in the rain scrubbing off my bloody Land Rover.

Bob Ross looks like he could use a hand maybe you could call on the friendly neighbor for help Mr Rogers!!

Lmfao!👌😂👍

I changed it to K 44 axle, they are way beefed. And it’s no problem for me that my Toyota it’s a Chevy updated 😊

[@jonathanfletcher97]

How do you like the performance of the K44? Also is it a left or right side oriented pumpkin? Thanks man!

[@jarek.o2663]

@@jonathanfletcher97 I like them a lot. In K44 pumpkin is oriented the same as the yota axle, the shafts are XVD style. I installed helicon gears and shimmed them. So for three years, I don’t have any problem different than broken leaf springs or bolts from the Panhard mont.

[@jonathanfletcher97]

@@jarek.o2663 awesome. Thanks again!

[@unclebscustomrcandrepair]

Love your content man, I’d love to see a updated tour of your scale shop! The attention to detail is so insane in your videos.

[@RCJesus420]

Once you get your EPA (Endpoints) turned down on your steering just a touch, you shouldn't have any more issues. Now, if you go brushless, you'll break them again. lol Also, pretty sure we have housings and the TEQ axles in stock at Remote Control Hobbies - Orlando, but I'm not there to look and say 100% right now. lol

[@KearSki]

As the owner of a Leaf Sprung Gelande II LWB base, GIIs on leaves are fun, there is the potental for way too much articulation or even a spring under axle set up to get it low down.

[@anibalbabilonia1867]

Great video! Loving the looks of that tf2 man! 👌😎👍

[@ryguyrc8029]

Man I’ve always loved ur red truck, building a c2x right now with a new 4door Mohave body an going for a simple style as the red truck. Got the Baja claws/ roll bar. Just gotta rewatch some of your painting tutorial videos an get it all painted up! Cheers an thank you for the awesome content!

[@3dman875]

Once again a great video I really enjoy it

[@RcDungeon]

Gotta have the XVD for sure and set end points once you get that the hold up fine. Thanks for sharing 👍 great informative video as always

[@toeshifter]

Big fan of your stuff. I have finally completed my TF3 and looking for my next build. Keep up the inspiration.

[@butterbean4195]

ive broke 2 sets 1 a few months after i got the rig in Alabama axial fest and the 2nd at BTK, KY rc4wd worked with me each time they think it was my end settings also. all i know is it hasnt happened sense ive set my limits. BUT im also very careful now and the tf2 is only a trail truck now not for crawling.

[@matk4731]

Try RC Mart I sure they sell Yota 2 non genuine parts. I still have a TF2 that a got about 10 years ago still new in its box. Thanks for sharing 👍🏻👍🏻🙃😐

[@covecityboys]

Look into boom racing BrX90 axles.

[@ThePanda1714]

Boom racing axles !

[@BC-rc]

Maybe gcm axles?

[@sergemkrtchyan3151]

This truck is sweet! Where did you get the Toyota steelies and caps??

[@RCeveryday]

They are boom racing wheels with the caps

[@TheMrhick92]

If you can get the screws out you could probably get some helicoils

[@sletcher48]

Facebook showed me pictures of a new shop build are you up too something? Videos of the building type deal?

[@RCeveryday]

I am. But I’m not filming that whole process. Just daily progress for a reveal video.

[@jerseyscaler445]

Really curious how you got that color red for the body. Layered of different colors?

[@RCeveryday]

It was just gloss red rustoleum paint with some weathering powders and ak product rust streaks on it. Painted this one over a decade ago.

[@jerseyscaler445]

@@RCeveryday the look of "old red" is an icon build , man. Building a clone to it . Will tag u when I'm done. Let's see how close I can get it lol.

[@jw6387]

I have truck like that I've had it almost as long as I've had my kid thumb nail is my wife not me lol

[@Mikehoncho84]

Got a question Been out the game for a good while. Looking at a SCX24 crawler and using model car bodies. Anyone else done that or what other 1/24 scale crawler or drift car y’all are using

[@RCeveryday]

A lot of bodies will work with them. I dont do much with the smaller scale stuff but it is a huge part of the hobby now.

[@Mikehoncho84]

@@RCeveryday oh I know. Shoot o started with a kyosho buggy then a traxxas t-max lol. Been out for over 10 yrs now but never lost interest

[@smallkineoff-road5418]

Check out my channel. I used a model toyota on an scx24. It was a lot of work but probably one of the most scale looking 24ths. had to fab mounts with magnets.
