I used long 3mm setscrews . Its a popular older mod so you can just pop the body on and off over them. they are a headless screw if you don't know what a set screw is
I cut my rc4wd bfgoodrich edition in half and extended the frame 65mm for a crew cab long box dually hard body and put a v plow on it now I just have a rc4wd d90 for my trail truck
hey man...cool channel..i like how you do your videos...i have a question..i see you went to install the 35kg servo from amazon but said it was weaker then the stock twister servo ur midnight tf2 came with..i have the rtr xtra cab aka the marty mcfly trail rigg but i havent taken her out yet bc im still waiting for a part from rc4wd...i hear people talk shit about the esc and servo,but you like the esc and servo and i realized i got the same stock esc and stock servo as you...i was thinking of getting that b25 kg servo but do you think i should run the stock servo and stock esc over upgrading to a 35kg? or 1080 ecs?.....i only do trail; runs my friend...sorry for the long question..i just wanted to ask you bc you seem very studios on these topics..any feed back is greatly appreciated...oh new subb #139
hey thanks for the comments . my father in law put the redcat lights in his and I like the trick rc one better . I haven't found a great servo yet . I tried out the an eco power high torque one that seems to be equal to the rc4wd servo that stock servo is actually pretty good . the esc works really well , I dont see any reason to replace it . but I also switched the radio over to my spectrum and the esc works really well with it . also the redcat esc works a lot better on the spectrum radio as well

@@MyRClive You need a esc that is capable of putting out 7.4v, that is why you aren't seeing a difference in the servos you are installing, they are all running at 5.5v.
the 1080 is definitely better and its cheep . and I realize now that the servo sucked with the stock esc because of the BEC voltage... now I have one of them fusions from hobbywing in there but also put a holmes hobbies steering servo , but the steering had super bad geometry because of the leaf springs . so I ended up three linking it in the front . wich made the steering a bunch better. but that Holmes hobbies servo is in there now lol . iv been thinking about stripping her into a slider and selling.

What do you have screwed into your body mount posts? Is that for quick removal of the hard body? Please share the details on that mod.

That's cool but you can actually just buy the extended frame rails pretty cheap
