F-350 High Lift owners test / quiz

[DJTheo]

Wanted to start this already 3 weeks ago, but always was forgetting it, find it weird that noone else noticed it yet.

There is something very interesting / weird in the F350 kit, lets see if someone finds it out.

If not, will post it on Monday on my site / blog.

Cheers

it is missing the MFU, radio and ball bearings????[:#]

 Seriously...maybe you can be a little more exact?

[DJTheo]

Won't help yet as its really something you would know its it when you see it, but if noone is close in a day or so, may give a hint.

Ok Theo, My first shot:

Concearning the Diffs: When you lock the diffs you should use a rubber thingy without the lock the manual doesn't show it.

Also with the rubber thingy the silver diff case doesn't fit (so manual is wrong?), good try [], but thats not it, what I am looking for is much more impressive/surprising.

Keep them coming! [Y]

is it that stupid shock spring that stopps almost all articulation?

or is it that they have light pods but give you stickers?

[DJTheo]

As said more impressive and surprising.

Are you referring to the 4-Link parts?

[DJTheo]

No, as I said something that hasn't been written in the forum yet.

Ok Theo, My other guess: There are no D-parts in the kit!

Im still working on completing mine, but  I did notice something is not right with the way the axles sit when configured with soft suspension. Like there is a tweek problem or something. I checked the assembly to be sure I put it together correctly and found nothing wrong there.

 Unless your refering to something odd with the actual contents of the kit, then Im way off base.

I am reffering to something odd with the actual contents of the kit.Cheers 

[Dephcon5]

There is a few things in the kit I found that seemingly have no business being there.

On another note, there is a part on one of the trees that the manual states is for the MFU.

If Im still way off then I will have to review the left over parts bin when I get home this evening.

[maxHiLux]

Well isn't it odd then not having D-parts when there are A,B,C,E,F etc parts?

Max

[DJTheo]

Sure, but I am talking about something spectacular [H]

I have not seen a kit "in the flesh" yet - but knowing you Theo - if it had a blister pack you would just about jump out of your skin for "old times" sake ! []

 That is a wild guewss I know - but hey !

How about if this is a all new model then why is there a spare gear that's not used,spose someone is now going to tell me this has been covered somewhere else[:$]

[barney buggy collector]

it wouldnt be the little picture of the nitro motor with  GP on it  on the bottom of the decal sheet would it?

 

or the shift gate templates?

You sure know me well [H]  but unfortunately no blister (at least tires smell nicely rubberlike! [])

[MadMax]

How about the Yellow Euro light covers?

And we already have a winner! Congratulations Barney [H][Y], yes, I meant the EP/GP written on the decal sheet!

So it seems there will be a nitro F350 in the future! [H] Now let the speculations begin! []

I say a nice low revving 4 cycle nitro or even better diesel, not powering the gearbox directly, but a generator, gearbox is still driven by electric motor for low speed crawling and no need for clutch, coupled also with a new Hilux body, making a hybrid (synergy drive) RC like its 1:1 counterparts from Toyota/Lexus/Honda. Don't take it seriously, just wishfull thinking, but maybe in 10 years??

Cheers

i had the wife searching the parts trees etc and i grabbed the decal sheet and the nitro motor was about the only really odd thing i could find.

with the 4 link mounts supplied, could that be a hint as to a 4 link version in the future maybe? 

 

[DJTheo]

Yes, on the manual it writes they are for (future) hopups (scan from Shodogs showroom)

[Guest sk8te-penguin]
