We finally got some snow so I took the Tamiya ford f350 high lift out to play. Share your pics of your favorite one to run in the snow or rain!

Hi, This is my first ever post to the forum so please be gentle! I have been into Tamiya since the mid 80’s and have now accumulated a wide a varied collection. My main interest is building Hopped Up chassis and also building and painting custom body sets. I have lots of builds that I have photographed so thought I would take the plunge and post some here. First up is an eBay bought used F350 bodyset that I had the crazy idea to cut down to fit a touring car chassis - originally thought I would drop it on an F103GT 🤪 did a quick check to see how much needed to be removed

Hi, I am in the UK and I have an old Futaba 4EX 4 channel Transmitter I am running my Tamiya Ford F350 Hi Lift with. The problem I have is it came with an old 1000mah 8 in a row AA NiCad battery pack with a JR/HiTech connector (I think), which now is only lasting 30 minutes or so. I have seen suitable larger mah packs for sale but wondered if I can I use a lipo pack without any modification to the transmitter. Obviously I would have to consider the size of the pack. Any help would be gratefully appreciated. Thanks

hi there, I have a F350 highlift looking to increase ride height as the 2.2 crawler wheels snag on bodywork ever so slightly when steering is hard lock left or right. I don't want to cut body would prefer to increase ride height. is there an off the shelf solution? cheers

Hi all, I've just got myself a high lift, and am planning to make myself a set of 4 links for it, and am looking for inspiration on how other people have done it. I'm aware of the JunFac conversion, which is a nice design, but a bit pricey for me as it's not too difficult to replicate the design myself. Also I plan to use the kit included axle mounts to save making my own, and am just looking for ideas on any alternative mounting positions etc. I could also use some advice on what length shocks I'm going to need, again, looking for some tidy shocks that won't break the bank , and also some good quality rod ends. Thanks.

Hi All I want to put some lights in my Taiya F350 but I can not afford the light\sound set for it so I am planning of getting my own LEDs from maplin or ordering some of fleabay. Does anyone know what LED size I need to get so they fit nicely into the existing light points? Also what wheel\trye upgrades can you recommend to make this truck look a bit more bad boy offroader

Well my F350 Highlift will be here in about a week or so I figured I'd get an early start on a build thread.. This is my first 3 speed/highlift so hopefully it arrives ok and the build goes smooth.. I started this now to give ample time to discuss upgrades and well anything that should be checked and or take certain precautions before beginning the build Upgrades planned: (updated 12/2/12) crawler motor of some kind Rubber sealed bearings Venom 7.2v NiMH 4,600mAh 6 cell Traxxas 2.5 waterproof ESC Traxxas Emaxx waterproof receiver box TopCad 8 hole alloy 1.9 wheels Integy BFG Mud Terrain tires Integy oil shocks for CR-01 with 10wt rear/ 20wt front oil TopCad bull bar w/ TopCad scale working winch Clod roll bar with working lights aluminum shift servo mounts (going to mount steering to it also so figured better make it strong) got this for the shift servo http://www.ebay.com/...984.m1497.l2649 got this for the steering servo http://www.ebay.com/...984.m1497.l2649 This radio set up http://www.ebay.com/...984.m1497.l2649 let me know what you think or if you have any advice for a first time 3 speed builder?
