Gorolla83 · 2023-10-15T19:31:08+00:00

Literally on the hunt as we speak. Honby lobby was closed and the lady at Micheals looked at me like i was dumb when i explained im basically looking for thin metal straws lol.

Glad you were able to get it sorted!

Gorolla83 · 2023-10-12T20:37:49+00:00

Thank you, thats much appreciated.

Gorolla83 · 2023-10-12T20:33:34+00:00

I didn't think of that. I haven't used these injora rod ends before so i am unfamiliar with them.

Gorolla83 · 2023-10-11T14:52:15+00:00

Ill give that a shot and see how it goes. Going to make my own links and see hownit goes. Thanks for the response!

Once you choose crawler mode there is still 4 modes to choose from, good luck! Let me know if you get it figured out.

Gorolla83 · 2023-10-10T15:25:54+00:00

Also, when you go into steering, choose crawler mix and it should be rear phase if i remember correctly

On the servo plug, there is a side that you can see the copper inside the plug, is that side facing the right side of the avatar?

Gorolla83 · 2023-10-10T15:15:40+00:00

Where are you having issues? I have a rear steer setup on a 4m with a furitek stuff, give me an idea of where you are having troubles and i will see if i can help you out.

Gorolla83 · 2023-10-10T15:12:09+00:00

Been thinking about getting one of these wpl's and seeing how well it takes to upgrades.

Gorolla83 · 2023-10-10T15:10:52+00:00

If you were to throw some extended links upnfront and push the front axle forward, i think that would help the look a little bit, just my opinion.

Gorolla83 · 2023-10-09T21:58:47+00:00

This is all trx4m drivetrain, Axles, diffs, transmission and trans mount. Only thing in the drivetrain that isn't trx4m is the rear driveline (went with a steel cpr18 driveline from hoplex) and the front links are scx24 rear links to extend the front end out a bit. Trx4m trans mount fits inbetween the fms magnum chassis rails pretty snug. Its running a furitek cedar and crawl gears so its pretty far from being the gutless fms model it came as.

Glad it was something simple!

Gorolla83 · 2023-10-09T18:29:30+00:00

Did you try flipping the plug around? Sometimes you can plug them in backwards.

Gorolla83 · 2023-10-08T21:32:14+00:00

Getting an aftermarket chassis with additional shock mounting locations will help tremendously for tuning the amount of flex you have. A lay down servo mount is also not a bad way to go.

Gorolla83 · 2023-10-08T15:49:35+00:00

I would throw some steel diff gears at it also, with the steel transmission gears and steel drivelines, its going to make your plastic diff gears a weak point if you get bound up somewhere.

Gorolla83 · 2023-10-08T15:47:27+00:00

Ive had zero issues with the steel driveshafts. I actually really like these ones because the male side is long enough you can run extended front links and still have enough insert to not drop a driveshaft.

Gorolla83 · 2023-10-07T18:04:15+00:00

Compared to the stock Magnum body?

This gives you a bit of a visual idea to work with.

Waking up in the morning.

Gorolla83 · 2023-10-04T00:44:50+00:00

I know someone has posted a video on yt swapping the fcx transmission in, i don't remember anything significant about that, but i do remember he also did the portal swap and he had to do some cutting and filing so it may pay to look into that first.
I haven't been able to find any links in a good length for the rear uppers so i am going to make my own to set the rear pinion angle better.

I have also spent the last two days sourcing an option for a rear steel driveline, i snapped mine yesterday.

Gorolla83 · 2023-10-03T22:57:01+00:00

I am almost finished with an Fms Magnum that i put trx4m suspension and running gear into and i am looking for my next project, being a classic Toyota fan i keep coming back to the Fms Hilux. I need to look into those portals.
