![]() Alright...I decided since it is a 3-day weekend to start modifying my F-150 to be an Off-roader. Like I have said before, I am going to mount a Pajero/Montero 2 door model on it.
So far it has the off-road upgrade installed, and 4wd. I got some radline motors, so I need to put the Xmod wires on them. Would neo magnets make the green Radline Motor have even more torque, or should I just let it be? I also need to fix the darn bump steering. Its really annoying. I am trying this idea I have though to fix it so I hope it works. Anyways, I'm gonna relocate the battery case to the top on the chassis, and then install my 6 cell up grade. Also gonna do the articulation mod to it. Right now the truck's rear differential is broke on one side so it is running 3wd. ![]() I got a question for anyone who uses Radline motors in their trucks..... Do you use the motor spacer in it, and do you have to loosen the gear cover a lot? I have noticed this on mine, that the pinion gear rubs the gear cover, so I had to loosen it a lot. Here are some pictures I took really fast....not much modification noticeable yet. Sorry for the poor quality, its with my cell phone. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() If you look closely I put the 2 long screws through some springs. ![]() ![]()

![]() Alright, finally finished the articulation mod....I think its got enough...
![]() Sorry if pics are bad...my eyes keep trying to close.... ![]() Will try to maybe move the battery pack tomorrow... ![]() Fixed bump steering aslo. Will post pics tomorrow. Suspension in the front is pretty hard though, but i guess its ok. ![]() ![]()

![]() Alright little update.....got the battery relocation done, just gotta run out and get some more velcro. I also did my 6 cell addition while doing the main holder relocation. I'm so glad I didn't screw anything up....yet.
![]() Here are some pics. I took springs and put them in to help correct the bump steering. I didn't use any glue, just 2 springs cut in half. Still need to do some more stuff....such as fit my big wheels to it, and order some GPM maybe. ![]() ![]() I think its going to look good with the Pajero body on it.... ![]() Should I put neo mags in the radline motor? ![]() I put springs on the long screws above the front wheel knuckles.... ![]() And I also put springs on the screws that hold the tie rod to the knuckles ![]() Here are some pics of the battery relocation ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]()

![]() Looking very nice! Hah you'll need some big tires to take up all that space. So far so good.

![]() Thanks. Yea, the tires I have are pretty big. The F-150 isn't the permanent body though. I just tested it, and for being 3wd it sure went! My crappy rechargeable batteries actually worked for once.
If the antenna touches a battery or motor is that how you fry your range? I want to be careful, cause the antenna goes under the battery holder...but I haven't put it on yet... ![]()

![]() Got the model kit. Currently the body is blue like in the picture, but I'm gonna change that since they didn't paint the hood blue....
![]() Kind of weird.... I like the tires that come with it, they are bigger than the off-road wheels by a bit. The stock xmod truck rims fit in them, but don't allow enough room between the wheel and chassis. ![]() I need to get some glue, and paint....going to the store right after this. ![]() The body fits just right. ![]() ![]()

![]() Alright Zippo I'll try that. I have noticed that the motor cover has to be on there really tight, mine gears keep slipping out.
![]() Do you run yours with the spacers in? I currently am now, but when I tried it without it seemed to not slip as much....but It could just be me. I hope it will be finished before that competition is up! Maybe it will be good enough.... ![]() ![]() I think the Montero/Pajero body will look really good on it. Not sure about the wheels though. Might have to find some other ones still, or just make the body set a bit lower down. If you have seen AeroSynch's 1:10th scale Pajero, I might go with that color, white and black. Although....a bright red just popped into my head....and I think that might look good.... ![]()

![]() yeah i use the spacers same as i would an xmod motor. the only one i had to modify the motor holder on was the evo car for the modified radline with the ball bearings. the endbell wouldn't fit without modding it. but there shouldn't be a fitment issue with any from the 3 pack. push the pinion on some more and try that.
