I wanted the esc and servo for my YZ-10, so I decided to replace all the electronics in my B4 with some that seemed more suitable. AE/Airtronics receiver, LRP esc, Reedy servo, and Orion SV2 motor.

Hitec Shredder, Yokomo SCR-BR esc, Blue Bird servo, and Trinity Speed Gems Pro.

The receiver, esc, and servo are all clear/tinted case.

If a jobs not worth doing then its certainly not worth doing well.
A problem shared is a problem halved but an advantage shared is no advantage at all.

Finished an RC4WD Trail Finder 2 build that I started about a dozen years ago.

My first two TF2's were on leafs so I have this one on coils.

Looking for a nice 22R and accessories to print and complete the engine bay.

Anyway, I'm on to the next project ... which will be 2WD and fully printed. :D

Thanks!

That's very cool!! Really like old pickups.

These came from the same creator, Andrey Bezrodny, on CGTrader and Cults3D.

Should keep me busy for a while. :D
