@RC4WD fan looking good. I prefer the tubular bumper to stock chrome bumper. 

Same here 👍 I’ve found a 3d printed tubular back bumper but the seller won’t ship to the UK 😩

[Stormbringer]

Looking pretty good mate but pity the seller wont ship to UK

It’s really is they do a 3d printed Chevy interior too looks great from the pics 

[Stormbringer]

That would look cool 

[RC4WD fan]

Never will I complain about putting 1.9 beadlocks together ever again so fiddly and doesn’t help having sausage fingers either 🤣 but was worth it in the end only has a little bit of rub on full lock when compressed but has ever so slightly widened the track  doesn’t look like that anymore the front has been stripped down as I’m painting the inner grill and lights 👍

[Lone-wolf]

Mine has arrived but i just got in after a bad day at work so will look at it in a bit, plan to do the hop ups in the morning

[Stormbringer]

@RC4WD fan looking good mate 

@Lone-wolf glad its finally arrived and have fun modding it mate 

[Lone-wolf]

That was a long tinkering shift, fitted the brass links and portal covers, brass hex`s and the new wheels, also modded the shocks for oil filled, truck has gone from 470grams to 620 ish

Looks good the brass colour goes well with black don’t think it would with orange though hence why I’m waiting for the painted stuff but saying that there might be a colour change happening soon 🤔

[Lone-wolf]

turns out i have fitted the brass links wrong way round, so back to it in a bit

[Lone-wolf]

sorted the links, they are now the correct way , here is a cheeky pic of the factory fitted headlights, very cool

[Stormbringer]

looking good mate , does it come with tail lights ?

 

[steephill]

@Stormbringer Doesn't have any tail lights fitted on my k5. 

[Stormbringer]

Yep I believe you can get 3d printed rear light buckets and to add to that I’ve found a seller that does 3d printing and has a tubular rear bumper but no way am I going to pay £40 do it 😳

Has my puzzled as it a bigger plug than the other one only thing I can think of is it has a different resistor on the set of wires possibly the make them brighter ? if you run them of a separate small battery 

[Lone-wolf]

seems its for more lights so light bar or rear lights, i think its a JST 1.25 connector

[Stormbringer]

It would look smart with a roof light bar

That makes sense though I hope they sell the lights as an upgrade because I don’t think I’ll ever be able to make a set up my self I’m still putting off making (trying to make) the 4th set for the TRX4 🤣

i hear there are dimples in the roof to drill and fit supplied light spot light bar, that can also be used with supplied roll bar when set up as a pickup, with the power supply already in place it would be pretty simple to add 1.8mm red led lights to back

Your correct I drilled out the 2 conveniently placed holes in the plastic glass to fit the light bar on mine 😁 and lot of people are cutting out a rear window as well as the glass has it the gut not cut in the body

i wont be cutting the back window, it would look like a 5yr old had done it with a penknife if i did, but might look at rear lights, i dont see me getting to run mine till next weekend as im away for a few days to visit my Bro in south wales
