Instead of dragging this into a video series, I considered that this style of film would really help some folks that wanted a “quick”, yet in depth tutorial / DIY in one film. The model I am building today is the RC4WD Trail Finder 2, Long Wheel Base (LWB) 4x4 1/10th scale Radio Control truck “Kit”. A Kit is a model that you assemble, and does not come with electronics.
In this film I assemble, (summary style), the entire rolling chassis as well as choose and install the waterproof steering servo, and transmission servo. The transmission is a 2 stage (high and Low gear) and can shift on the fly.
In my opinion this kit is a fun, and “easy” to do model for those who are just starting in the hobby, or is already a senior hobbyist. The quality of the parts, the thought put into the package of hardware and the overall building experience is very simple. I would give building the chassis a difficulty rating of 2 out of 5, where 5 is the most difficult. The instruction manual is very well written and the graphics are clear.
A lot of viewers ask me where I get the products I show in my films, so here is the direct link to RC4WD:
