Ok GUYS. I got reply from RC4WD Big Boss regarding orders and payments via Paypal.
This is the procedure. Make your order via RC4WD onlineshop. Take note of order number, items you are ordering, Total then send a follow-up email to Mike at [email protected] requesting for an approval of Order and request for a paypal invoice. If you have made successful orders previously please do indicate that as well.
Please be patient and understand that it may take a couple of days to a week for a reply. Mike gets hundreds of emails per day plus a huge company to run.
Please let me know if you have questions or require help, further to this. Let's get back to this build.

Now we have to send and email to get approval for paypal invoice.
Last time we just order and pay thru paypal without sending any email for approval.
This make ordering of stuff even longer. Is there a problem in their system?

2-speed Transmission
Just love the new 2-speed tranny. The casing is made out of aluminum with hardened steel tranny gears. They are meshed quite nicely and dare greased.
Shift to low gear and high gear for Best Performance On-Road and Off-Road Trail using a standard servo and a controller that does 2-Position and adjustable EPA.
It also has a built-in slipper clutch. You can adjust the tension of the spring to get the slipper to work, when needed.
The 2-speed tranny mounts nice and firm on the chassis with 4 screws.
Adjusting spur/pinion mesh is easy. I am not certain if it is a 32 pitch, but the pinion and spur are bigger than 48 pitch.
The 2-speed tranny clears the Mojave Body and the steering servo quite nicely, as well.

Transfer Case
Transfer Case is compact yet solid and nicely scale-down.
Aluminum Casing with Hardened steel gears inside.
The clearance is very nice. The transfer case mount is quite compact and nicely designed, as well.
Transfer Case and mount attaches quite precisely to chassis without a problem.
When installing, be sure that 2 outputs are facing forward, and the transfer case mount screw holes on the right side, as well.

chassis
One of the best feature of the RC4WD Trail Finder 2 is the Billet Aluminum chassis. It is one of the nicest chassis I have ever seen. It mounts all components perfectly, with the mounting hole locations at precise points. I will not be surprised if RC4WD Designers utilized latest Technology/Software to bring Perfection in Design and Production.
The TF2 kit comes with a complete set of front and rear bumpers and sliders. These are quite adjustable. The front bumper has a mount for a scale winch.
Everything fits quite nicely. It took me less than 3 hours to get the kit to a roller. Building the Truck is easy and a lot of fun.
Glad that the TF2 comes with the RC4WD Scale Shocks instead of plastic shocks. These shocks compress quite smoothly. Overall geometry is sweet wit h matching front/rear shock lengths. I like the shock hoops which is billet aluminum, as well.

Yota Axles and Driveshafts
The Scale Yota axles are the perfect choice for the TF2 and Mojave Hardshell.
I have the BlackWidow, Blackwell, and K44. It is my first time seeing the Yota axles in person. I must admit that the Scale Yota Axles look and feel Great, as well.
The Ring and Pinion mesh quite smoothly. I also like the steering/drag links. These axles mount under leaf spring quite easy. The drag link when installed, does not bind on the leaf.
BTA configuration for the front axles is also possible if desired. The new driveshafts feel quite solid and capable.
