This is christmas present from my wife - my first 3-speed with ballbearings and Acoms Techniplus 4 FM.
The Radio has been modified for the left Stick did not set neutral so i build the things from the right stick into the left one.
First i wanted to build it later but then i couldn't resist. It was great fun to build and i love it - Buildung took m through the whole christmas days. Since i did only have left some Scorcher colors. i decided to paint it in this colors. I fitted it with really strong servos (DS1015 Thunder Tiger, 14,5kg, 0,108 sec@4,8V) and a waterproof ESC (Carson Truck). Since i used it's rims on my Lancia Delta project, i fitted the car with steel painted Focus rims.

Both diffs are locked and i fitted the car with RockStompers, so there should be way everywhere :) - The first outdoor run must wait a little, since my real car does have a real breakdown :( - I hope there'll be some snow then...

As an Ex-Surfer and now Inet Surfer, i must have added some Surfer decals - This car is real F2 - Fun & Function



update 09/2008:

First pics shows as it looks now - repainted and weathered to an old 'filthy' Surfer-Hilux :)

comments welcome as usual ;)















repainted and weathered - old filthy Surfer Hilux F2 - Fun & Function, just like the Hilux - lowered maybe i will fit a MFU lowered before lowering - it was really a HighLift lowered with original tires wasn't NIB for a long time

If you liked those pictures, you should see these...

What a nice looking truck! I like the surf stickers. I am thinking about doing the same with a snowboard/BMX kind of version.

but you must surely have more waves than I do, I live in a high altitude cold semi-arid desert a thousand miles from the nearest ocean lol!

mine was F2 axxis 272 - great board, but know i'm too lazy to go surfing....
Seth: yeah no the Neusiedler See there a little waves (up to 1m)- but it's dangerous there, cause the See isn't deep at all - deepest place about 220cm

Nice to find out other TC Members used to windsurf. So 'eighties', no? Looking forward to installing some surfboards on my F350. 'F2'... so nice to hear that name again...
