FREEDOM83

Finally, after years behind, before even releasing Cross-RC, I wanted it since I tried Spintires in 2009, I wanted something like this and I was finally able to buy it As you can imagine, I will post photos and more of the assembly, I want to do an unboxing, and if I can I will record the assembly process, at least the mechanics. I took photos of all the bags, but I won't post them, I don't think they are very interesting hahahaha. I have seen much better ordered kits, to be honest, although I have also seen worse ones, we will see how things go with the assembly for now... The wheels, as I already read in the forum , are difficult to heel, very very tight, and there is plenty of foam, so first, cut the foam a little: And a little more than two hours later, I managed to assemble 4 of the 8 wheels, hard work, first with long screws almost to the stop and by wetting my lips very well to get the beads on, without wetting, impossible, but hey, here's the fun hehehehe: [url=https://servimg.com/view/18949632/1844][img]https://i.servimg.com/u/f29/18/94/96/32/whats920.jpg[/img][/url] Honestly, the assembly is what I like the most, but the truth is that it is very easy to make the wheels bead easier, not because the brands don't do it many times. The 8 wheels are already mounted And yes, the instructions are missing some bearings that do come in the kit, the front ones are the ones in the photos, you realize they are missing, but in the rear ones they are the ones that go behind the crown inside the tip of the axle, Unless I read it in the forum, otherwise I would have to disassemble it again and it would be a tedious task. Today I started with the matter, the extra bumper and the axles and some details, I leave you photos: Here's a ball joint that came half the size hehehe less, which is something we have plenty of And here is today's work Well, so far with the servos and the 1200kv fusion, it's 7.4kg, the thing weighs hehehe, everything is very tight, removing a defect in the chassis that I will show later and readjusting the front leaf springs:

Comes with the KIT , shovel & plastic high lift too .

Finishing details untill waiting miniservos

Space for the ESC, is the main reason, because it would also be necessary to lengthen cables and everything does not fit well below.

Not rub , this truck have big wheel fender jejejeje

In the end I have transferred the wheels from the jk to this one with the crazycrawler foams, they dress him better

This one has changed the wheels for those of the k30, they give it better height and the shades of gray with the chassis combine better

It's almost there, there's work left but it's hardly visible hahahaha, so far I haven't taken many photos, but I can give my impressions The chassis looks very good weight distribution, I don't like the "DRIVESHAFT" that joins the box with the transfer, but we'll see if it works, if not the solution is a normal cardan. The plastics look very good to tighten the screws, it is a good rub at the end of assembling everything, I like the plastic, although it seemed bad to me in the ball joints, they are 3mm, the same easy solution if they do not give good results. For the rest I see it very compact and well thought out. A bit absurd at some point, how to release the transfer to pass the front axle locking cable to the back of this servo. I really liked the body in general, once assembled it is compact and very light despite what it seems. The seats can be placed in the front or back with the screws that hold them and have a hole for the belts, or flanges hahaha. I liked everything a lot except for one thing, I don't know who was the "engineer" who had the idea that the hinges and supports be glued to the hood and the car as well as the hood lock slip. It is a solemn trash that this is glued , I had to bring something to screw on the hood and body so that it can be used with ease. For the rest I like it a lot and the battery hole is a hoot. Also, a large lipo fits a 5200 3s, it still leaves a hole. I leave you the photos that I have taken, they are not very good but I have enjoyed so much that I have not stopped to take photos

Chassis assembled... the body still remains. Good quality at all times I'm liking it I have taken it with such eagerness, that I have only taken a photo before starting to ride when I have greased an axles .. The tires inside on the flanks, take note Proline and Rc4wd !!! And I put the tires that it comes with on the child's sling, beadlock and heavy, and it also comes with 5!

I already have the XT4

It has a bit of weight between the chassis spars at the rear, at the moment I haven't put anything on it, but I don't think it needs more, it already climbs enough to be a truck, really😉

First , know , combo Fusion or not have space for ESC something big , and its far from motor so long wires ... I change AXE for Fusion .... Second , Gear and locks servos , are mini , not micro , not standar , MINI servo , something special .

Chevy K30 Killer (CorssRc XT4 EMO) This one is on the way, with some Tamiya TS37 spray, I have the 45kg Gimod servo and the AXE 2300 combo that I removed from the Hilux, and I'll put some "chanquish" rims that I have with china "IFR" rings and crazy crawler foams with the standard tires that don't have bad look .

First test , so happy with this truck , amazing how works

Second option finish

Yes, the Rc4wd tires are very soft, they puncture easily, I have to put some harder foams too, but yes, they are delicate tires, but the cross-rc ones seem small and hard to me, and for the use that I will give them I need traction hehehehe

I'm liking how it's looking, now it's time to fight with the servo of the change and the lights that do the functions well

Now starts mods , out of manual instructions It has been necessary to reinforce things a bit, as in the King Kong, in the Cross the bodies are beautiful, but a lot of pieces are glued instead of screwed, which makes them delicate, for now, I have reinforced the steering wheel to its axis and the axis to the dashboard and turn the dashboard to the lower half of the body, now yes, this is not going to move I have also made an exhaust, the typical one with a lighter and plastic to give it the curves, I have used the plastic that comes holding the pieces in the kit. I have also raised the deposits a little, of the two holes I put the lower one where the upper one goes and I made some new holes in the supports for the lower ones, so I have raised them about 10-12mm, I did not measure since the measurements were given by the holes so I don't know exactly. That is a store that works as God intended, 3 days from Spain to France ... not even stores in Spain take that long anymore

lets go !!

Well, after selling the Kingkong, which I loved and was hard as hell, but did not meet what I expected of it, I have on the way a Rc-Cross, I wanted this brand and as the 8x8, although I have fallen in love, I have gone out of price for my pocket hehehehehehe, I took a GC4, I have always liked the aesthetic "Russian" and will continue in the same line as the kingkong, but with an axle less to be something more "practical" for crawling. I have the truck on the way home, along with the CVD bearings and the kit of metal sprockets, that maybe the truck already includes I've seen later in some Youtube video hehehe so maybe I have to keep them as spare parts. Servo I will mount a MOB that I remove from the Pajero that I have for sale and I was not going to give it with the Servo as I can not sell it even for 300 € ... I do not understand why but well . Motor mount a 1200kv Fusion to save space variator and gearbox servo, put any I have at home hehehehehehehej, paint I have two sprays of Tamiya ts-5 so we will have to take advantage of them, on the other hand, at some point I will order a rubber rc4wd flahspoint as not, more in line with the model in question. Ordered on Friday at 10 in the morning from Lili modellbau in Germany, received today Tuesday at 9:45 in Spain... that's speed, not even ordering in stores in my own country takes so little...
