My new Trail Finder. Built it yesterday. Just needs a few more things and its ready to scale it up.

Do you guys clean off your trucks after running them through mud like that?

Ohh yeah. Takes some time but its worth it.

Do you lube all your bearings each time also?

lol i clean mine just by water hose, air hose, regrease every 4 times out....lol never had any problems besides last time found out radio box wasn't totally waterproofed!! So got all that fix now im gtg!!

It's a lot of work to take out all the bearings and clean and re-lube them. How many are there, like 20 or so?

Yeah a usually strip it all down and soaked the bearings in lube while I clean everything else. About every month or so. Depending on what I run in with it.

You got me thinking about my own models bearings so I started a thread about this topic here:

wow that just seems like an extra step to cleaning those bearings! all i do is get a masin jar and fill it about half full with synthetic oil and dump the bearings in there and let them soak for a day or 2 then just use an old tooth brush and as i pull them out run the tooth brush over them a few times and im done! so really i already do this just in a different way and a lot less time comsuming!!

So I've been looking at the trail finder can u tell me how this truck handles, hows the two speed, what's the leaf spring suspension like and just all around general if it's a fun truck or not Ty for any info been checking out lot of reviews

Its an awesome rig. The two speed is nice I like it I run a 15 turn brushed motor out of miss geico boat, and the leafs are different but it fun to mess around with. If you eve get a chance to come over to grants pass and come crawling with us ill more then let you check it out. Its a fun truck just for something else to drive.
