Want to build it? Here’s the parts list:

Obviously a trx4 high trail F150, though it can be built on any kind of trx4 with the correct modifications.

Front axle for a trx4 for the rear steering
It can be found on eBay fully assembled . A lot of people pull and sell parts from these. Search up the model Trx4 you have and get the same front end. This can also be modified to fit any model.

Front and rear brass diff covers used:
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BRBH3F61?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title

Rear servo mounting bracket for high trail model:
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07DSQ416F?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title

front and rear servos need to be beefy, I use these if you like how ours perform:
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08HH5V9VB?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title&th=1

Refer to the rear stuttering video to help with this part. This is only needed to run with the TQ remote.
Steering selector cable:
https://a.co/d/35S0hqL

These are used in place of the steering rod to adjust the trim manually. You won't be able to adjust it with the remote for front and back if you use the TQ remote:
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CKVZZFXT?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title&th=1

Use these to extend the studs for the wheels, I use a double lock nut on every wheel before putting the covers on so they don't slip back:

JConcepts for monster truck tires and wheels.


Midwest version wheels:
https://jconcepts.net/midwest-22-mt-wheel

Wheel inserts found on Facebook from brass ring fab, ask for Mike Bufca.

The custom grill can be found at 512 Lazer and Paint on facebook

Tires: I would choose the gold for some sidewall strength, the blue are extremely soft.
https://jconcepts.net/rangers-22-mt-scale-tire

The basic TRX4 1979 Ford F150 body is used in this build. I purchased the clear version to paint myself to have clear windows.

I used decals from JB scale graphics:
https://jbscalegraphics.com/collections/bigfoot®-4x4-inc/products/vintage-bigfoot-4x4-inc-decal-set

JBScale graphics is currently unavailable, you might buy the Bigfoot 1 stampede clear body for the decals needed for now.

2 cans of Blue by Tamiya used on this build:
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000BN6JFG?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title

The black used by Tamiya on this build:
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0000WS05A?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title

if you want the chrome mirrors on the doors:
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07MXNTVP7?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title

Also used accessories from the Traxxas Bigfoot 1 body:
https://traxxas.com/products/parts/3662

Front bumper SSD RC Winch Bumper for Traxxas TRX-4 Bronco (Chrome) [SSD00273]
https://ebay.us/m/bP1vHS

Rear bumper Hot Racing Traxxas TRX-4 Aluminum 79 Bronco Rear Tow Mount Bumper TRXF03CBR08
https://ebay.us/m/nmIRbO

This one is a clipless body. If you want to use clips, I recommend the blue body clips for the hood to help blend better:
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CQK51NB9?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title

Body posts used on other builds should work here:
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07HHFDSRS?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title

You might want one of these screws sets it will come in handy as you add things. This is the one I got:
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0C8HV5C3N?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title&th=1

And lock nuts:
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DFY8Y1TK?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title&th=1

These are the rock guards used:
https://www.ebay.com/itm/364786776007?var=634329852562

Gotta have the sound box! Check the video for that on also.
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0B82L595X?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title

You will need this box for the receiver and all the wires:
https://ebay.us/m/ViJaQO

This is the receiver to use by Traxxas if running the TQ remote:
https://traxxas.com/products/parts/traxxas-stability-management


This remote comes with the TRX4 F150 model, mine was a Sport converted. The remote can be used with the trx4 sport:
https://traxxas.com/products/parts/6530

If you are converting a TRX4 Sport over to the F150 body you will need to visit Traxxas for the proper Frame that is longer. Also the links are extended by an extension mounted under the transmission area. Find these parts below:

Frame needed:
https://traxxas.com/8220-448-mm-steel-chassis-rails-lr

Skid plate extender:
https://traxxas.com/9237-trx-4-skid-plate-extender


This should be about everything you would need let me know if I forgot something.

I hope you all have a great day! Now go do some doughnuts in the dirt, you deserve it :)
