| description | Some of you may recognise this, (the red and white) I bought this off our friend James (BeetleLover) for a sharp price.
Always wanted a Highlift, I nearly picked up one off the same guy who sold me the Knight Hauler at the same time but thought I had better not, plus explaining the need for two 3 speeds at once (and no food on the table for a month) to the missus may have ended in bloodshed
Have a small list of mods to do: Respray, Thinking either pearl white, or gunmetal grey, with or without a silvery chrome vinyl bottom half, ala mountaineer.
Sell the 6exap and rx (just found out you cant use digital trim ), as I plan to get an MFC-02.
Upgrade the tyres and maybe wheels, *edit* RC4WD OEM steel 1.9's in black and RC4WD Rock Crushers turned up!
and more to come no doubt but not crazy mods...

I've just seen a few with the flares and it could be an option, RC4wd are out of stock at the moment anyway. I just took it for it's first crawling adventure in my hands, 2/3rd's through the journey and the transmission failed. took it home and proceeded to check the motor pinion... good way to get to know a new RC, had to strip nearly the whole thing to pieces just to remove the gearbox, what a mission!!! Grub screw for the brass gear in the transfer case had come loose. I hope I never have to pull that apart again lol. Also needs diff locking pin's, I wasn't going very far without them haha. Still, what a superb truck, lot's of fun
Gotta love the High-Lifts, and this is a particularly nice example! Agree with Ben about the fender flairs too.
Cheers Guys! Yeah I bet you will James, though not as much as Mrs BeetleLover will! Thanks bfst24, i think James did well, although I have to make it my own, how far I go I'm not sure. Haha so true slimmy, I will venture outside the back garden tomorrow to dirt and hilly banks
Highwall 1.9's sounds great Neil. @.2 are a tad to big to look scale. Gunmetal really looks good on these.
Wow, Neil. You scored a legend-in-its-own-time. The F-350 is a milestone, plus your example looks very very good!
Easy on the grass youngster
looks real good as it is
Nice shots
