      The classic white tires fit the tuck well but to give better performance I would go with the flat irons.

    That body is SICK!!! I've done that kind of weathering in Model Railroading for years... but never thought of applying those techniques on R/C Rigs. Hmmmmm.....
    And I never knew that RC4WD made a Hard Body Blazer - WITH opening hood! When I'm done helping my friend, who's family is an awful situation, that's something I want to get.
    Flat Irons on the white Steelies is my choice....
    I LOVE those Puller Tires! So much Badass!!

    I like the white rims with a agressive tire the second choice is great too. Maybe if you widen the fenders at the bottom a bit you won’t get the tire rub with bigger tires. Always love your vids. Best rc shows ever and I love that your wife supports you and the hobby as well and your son will enjoy to too. So nice to see. From your BC Canadian neighbour

    That Blazer is amazing. I had a '76 and it looked very similar other than the color. Mine was brown and white with a black front left fender lol, but it also had a body lift, 36 inch BFG's and a 454. We also welded a 6 inch high scratch built bumper on the front of it to bypass some gates... I was a teenager when I had it but wow I miss it.

    to keep from losing grub screws...place a small section of heat shrink sleeve over the drive shaft then once your grubs are tight, slide the shrink wrap over them and heat it up.

    I love this RC and I've always wanted a 1978 Blazer. we had one when I was a kid. It was beat and a ugly sky blue color but it was sweet. Believe it or not we actually took it up Mt Washington. the highest mountain in the Northeastern United States.... I personally like the white scaled look. Take those rims and put better tires on them. Problem solved. I do dig the original puller tires the most. Reminds me of watching the truck pulls on TV when I was little.

  • @timowens502

  • @grndragon2443

    Nice rig. Back some time ago I had a 1/8 Blazer that was fully channeled frame and axles made to scale out of metal. Wish I still had and knew who made it.

  • @DOrtw
    @DOrtw 7 років тому

    Hi Aaron ! Go with the Pitbulls in the cold & snow, because they are soft and the large diameter will give the necessary ground clearance.. But go with the white Lug Wagons if the scale-look is the most important thing.. ;-) Just my 2 cents!
    By the way: I love the body with that genius paintwork.. Greetings from Germany, Dirk

    Hey Aaron, personally, I think you should do the classic white Trailfinder wheels with a more aggressively treaded tire. by the way, I live in Mississippi and we have these old Blazers all over the place because of how many of them the military used back in the day.

    @russellcupples2170 7 років тому

    If you reverse sharpen the correct size drill bit and use that to get the set screws AKA grub screws out via the bit biting in reverse and put some pressure on it while drilling so the bit will bite and unscrew the set screw . I don't know if you can still get them but in the Motorcycle repair industry you use to be able to get left handed drill bits .I just reverse sharpen mine .

    @ShawnTheSilentLurkerKerr 7 років тому

    I personally think that the white wheels look best on it. However, I would toss a set of the original Mud Slingers on them. I know they are tiny, but they have worked really well for me.
