Key Features
- CNC Machined Billet Aluminium Construction — Each component is precision-machined from solid billet aluminium, ensuring absolute consistency, durability and perfect tolerances that rival full-size automotive engineering practices. This manufacturing process guarantees that every unit meets exact specifications for seamless fitment.
- Black Anodised Finish — The hard-anodised surface coating provides superior corrosion resistance, protecting your investment from moisture, dirt and the wear of regular RC use. This durable finish also delivers an authentic, professional appearance that enhances the scale realism of your build.
- Y-Style Design — The distinctive Y-shaped geometry is not merely aesthetic; this design distributes suspension forces efficiently whilst maintaining clean scale proportions that complement authentic scale body styling. The Y-bar configuration provides optimal anti-wrap performance across the full range of suspension articulation.
- Complete Hardware Package — Every component you need for installation is included in the box, eliminating frustrating shopping trips for missing fasteners. The selection of M3 button head cap screws, set screws, nylock nuts and specialised mounting components means you can complete installation immediately upon receipt.
- Lightweight Design — At just 0.65 ounces (18.5 grams), this component adds negligible weight to your crawler whilst delivering significant functional benefits. This minimal weight addition means your weight distribution and handling characteristics remain optimised for scale performance.
- Engineered for Trail Finder 2 Platform — RC4WD designed this anti-wrap bar specifically for the Trail Finder 2 axle system, guaranteeing perfect compatibility and fitment with numerous Trail Finder 2 variants and chassis configurations available to UK RC enthusiasts.
Technical Performance
The RC4WD Anti Wrap Bar represents the gold standard in scale crawler suspension upgrades, delivering engineering precision that transforms how your Trail Finder 2 handles aggressive terrain. The billet aluminium construction ensures absolute rigidity whilst the CNC machining process guarantees tolerances tight enough to eliminate any flex or movement in the suspension geometry. This component directly addresses axle wrap — a phenomenon where aggressive acceleration causes the suspension to bind and twist, compromising handling and potentially causing damage to drivetrain components. By maintaining consistent suspension geometry throughout the full range of articulation, this anti-wrap bar enables smoother power delivery, improved traction and more controlled climbing performance. The Y-style design distributes vertical and horizontal loads efficiently, preventing the twisting forces that degrade performance on technical terrain. The included rod ends (three units supplied) provide articulation points that allow suspension movement whilst maintaining precise geometry control. The black anodised finish undergoes a rigorous hardening process that creates a protective oxide layer, ensuring this component will maintain its appearance and protective qualities through seasons of regular use. Installation is straightforward thanks to the comprehensive hardware package, which includes five different screw types and specifications to ensure proper fitment across various mounting points. The detailed instruction manual provides step-by-step guidance for correct installation, alignment and torque specifications — critical for ensuring the component performs as engineered. This is the upgrade choice for serious RC enthusiasts who understand that true scale realism demands authentic engineering solutions, not merely visual modifications.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Which RC4WD Trail Finder 2 models is this anti-wrap bar compatible with? — The RC4WD Anti Wrap Bar is engineered for use with all Trail Finder 2 variants, including the Trail Finder 2 LWB (Long Wheelbase) RTR models, standard RTR configurations, and Trail Finder 2 Truck Kits. Confirmed compatible models include vehicles fitted with Mojave II body sets, Chevrolet Blazer bodies, Toyota 4Runner bodies, Toyota XtraCab bodies and Toyota Land Cruiser FJ55 bodies. It's also compatible with the Marlin Crawler Trail Finder 2 variant. If you own any Trail Finder 2 platform vehicle, this component will integrate seamlessly with your Yota 2 axles.
- What is an anti-wrap bar and why do I need one? — An anti-wrap bar is a suspension component that prevents axle wrap — a phenomenon where aggressive acceleration causes the suspension geometry to twist and bind, reducing traction and potentially causing drivetrain stress. By maintaining consistent suspension geometry, the anti-wrap bar improves power delivery control, enhances traction on technical terrain, and enables more controlled climbing. For serious scale crawlers and trail trucks, this is a functional upgrade that delivers measurable performance benefits, not merely a visual enhancement.
- How difficult is installation of the RC4WD Anti Wrap Bar? — Installation is designed to be straightforward for anyone with basic mechanical aptitude and standard RC tools. The component comes complete with all necessary hardware, and a detailed instruction manual provides step-by-step guidance. You'll need basic tools like hex keys and screwdrivers, and the ability to follow torque specifications and alignment instructions. Most experienced RC enthusiasts can complete installation within 30-45 minutes. If you're new to RC upgrades, the clear documentation makes this an excellent introductory upgrade project.
- What material is the anti-wrap bar made from? — The main Y-bar is machined from billet aluminium, offering the perfect balance of lightweight construction and structural rigidity. The black anodised finish provides both aesthetic appeal and protective corrosion resistance. This aluminium construction ensures the component will not rust or degrade through seasons of outdoor RC use, and it maintains dimensional stability across temperature variations — critical for maintaining precise suspension geometry.
- Does this upgrade improve the scale appearance of my crawler? — Yes, absolutely. The Y-style design delivers authentic scale proportions that enhance the visual realism of your Trail Finder 2, particularly when equipped with full-size Toyota body sets. The clean lines and precision machining visible through the semi-transparent body design create that premium, professional appearance that distinguishes serious scale builds from basic RC vehicles. The black anodised finish complements body colour choices perfectly.
- What weight does this component add to my Trail Finder 2? — The anti-wrap bar adds only 0.65 ounces (18.5 grams) to your total vehicle weight. This negligible weight addition means you'll experience no degradation in acceleration, handling or battery runtime. The weight is distributed along the chassis centreline, maintaining optimal weight distribution for balanced handling characteristics.
- Is this suitable for beginners? — Whilst this is a functional performance upgrade rather than a beginner's first purchase, the installation process is accessible to anyone new to RC upgrades. The included instruction manual provides clear guidance, and the mechanical concepts are straightforward. However, you should already own a Trail Finder 2 and possess basic RC maintenance knowledge. This is best considered an intermediate upgrade for hobbyists ready to enhance their existing crawler.
