Chubaka's Ford F450

[Chubaka]

Nice. Get some conformal coating on that receiver board.

guess what randomly stopped working? I'll be home tomorrow and try my bind plug. That's some funny timing. I drove it yesterday.

Did you take the receiver apart?

Not yet. There is some corrosion there. I can't find my tiny Phillips driver as they use screws. The new receiver will be coated, I'm not gonna worry about this one. It's been compromised at my laziness. I haven't put the top on the receiver box due to working on my lights I haven't started. Sometimes I just stare at the truck.

I see a few new f450s have antennas. No 1/10 ones do so I'm distancing myself a lil bit and putting one in. Aiming for ford oem size and location.

I cut one of the "fits trx 4 scx" antenna packs. I cut to size snd took the end off to put on this one.

 

[Chubaka]

I also dinged my tag up. A vice, flathead, and a screw driver. I also started my tinting. Since it's a work truck in the great out doors, I like it cool and dark to recover in.

@WickedFog the receiver is in the precious metals pile now. Gonna order another one soon. Back to my traxxas radio.

F450 is down. Living up to Ford name. Need to figure out why 2 radios won't bind and why the esc won't calibrate.

 

[Chubaka]

Here's how she is sitting. I gotta do a full frame restoration. My esc hasn't been setup so I still have these tossed in.

Today I'm plan to work on the windows and lights more.

This thing is an acorn magnet.

Sxxt happens. they shouldn't mind 12 per wheel when my truck is bouncing more than a low rider trying to travel across the parking lot covered in them.

They are great pullers. I've pulled almost 600IBS with mine. They even have Dodge bodies to print.

Alot more steeper than it looks. Not looking forward riding 2 counties home dirty. But we will see. I need to put a locker in the rear. Some new tires would help. I'm looking at Rc4wd 1.9 dually of soft rubber tires.

 

[Chubaka]

I hope you don't mind some dirty pictures. This dually won't get stuck. This was all rwd open diff.
