Z-S1777

Overview

The RC4WD Low Profile Delrin Transfer Case Mount for TF2 (Z-S1777) is a precision-engineered upgrade component designed specifically for RC crawlers and trail trucks that demand performance enhancement without added weight. This specialist part is ideal for UK RC enthusiasts running RC4WD Trail Finder 2 models who want to optimise their vehicle's geometry and reduce overall mass for improved handling characteristics. Whether you're a competitive RC crawler driver or a dedicated weekend basher, this low-profile transfer case mount represents the kind of detailed engineering that separates serious RC vehicles from basic setups.

Built from durable black Delrin using CNC machining processes, this transfer case mount delivers a perfect balance of strength and lightweight construction. The low-profile design directly addresses one of the key challenges facing RC 4WD crawlers: maintaining optimal approach angles whilst keeping the chassis as low as possible. By repositioning the transfer case with a slimmer profile, you'll notice immediate improvements in your RC car's geometry, making it ideal for tackling technical terrain, steep climbs, and challenging rock gardens that demand precision setup. For dedicated RC hobbyists in the UK looking to fine-tune their Trail Finder 2, this is a component that makes a measurable difference to on-trail performance.

This is not a complete vehicle—it's a specialist upgrade part for those who already own a Trail Finder 2 or are building one from a kit. Understanding your RC car at component level and making targeted improvements like this is what separates casual RC enthusiasts from serious competitors and dedicated hobbyists who are committed to getting the absolute best from their models.

Key Features

• CNC Machined Construction — Every transfer case mount is precision-machined using computer numerical control processes, ensuring exact tolerances and consistent quality across every unit. This level of manufacturing precision means the mount will fit perfectly and perform reliably without deviation.
• Durable Black Delrin Material — Delrin is an engineering polymer selected specifically for its strength-to-weight ratio and durability in demanding RC applications. Black Delrin resists UV degradation better than natural polymer colours and provides superior impact resistance compared to lightweight plastics, making it ideal for rough trail use.
• Low-Profile Design — The carefully engineered low-profile geometry is specifically designed to improve approach angles on your RC Trail Finder 2, allowing the chassis to sit lower whilst maintaining adequate ground clearance. Better approach angles directly translate to improved performance on steep climbs and technical terrain.
• Lightweight Construction — At just 0.37 ounces (10.5 grams), this component reduces overall vehicle mass without compromising strength. Lower weight means better acceleration, faster stopping, improved suspension response, and enhanced climbing ability—all critical factors in competitive RC crawling and trail running.
• Optimised for Leaf Spring Vehicles — This mount is engineered specifically for leaf spring-equipped RC vehicles, particularly the Trail Finder 2 platform. The design accounts for the suspension geometry of leaf spring setups, ensuring perfect integration with your existing RC 4WD system.

Technical Performance

This transfer case mount exemplifies the quality engineering you'll find throughout RC4WD's range of specialist components for scale RC vehicles. Constructed from black Delrin—a high-performance engineering polymer—the mount combines exceptional durability with minimal weight addition. At just 10.5 grams, it won't meaningfully impact your RC vehicle's overall weight budget whilst delivering the structural integrity needed to handle the forces generated during aggressive trail running and competitive crawling. The CNC machining process ensures that every mount is manufactured to identical specifications, with no variation or defects that could affect installation or performance. The compact dimensions (85.63mm length, 29.9mm width, 19.9mm height) mean the mount occupies minimal space within your RC chassis, maximising the benefits of the low-profile design. This is engineering at the component level—the kind of detailed attention that serious RC enthusiasts appreciate when building or upgrading their machines.

What You Need to Complete

• Hammer Transfer Case (1.47/1) (Z-U0024) — This is the transfer case unit that mounts to this low-profile bracket
• RC4WD Trail Finder 2 platform — Compatible with RC4WD Trail Finder 2 RTR with Mojave II Body Set (Z-RTR0024), RC4WD Trail Finder 2 Truck Kit with Mojave II Body Set (Z-K0049), or RC4WD Trail Finder 2 Truck Kit (Z-K0054)

Compatibility Information

This transfer case mount is designed for leaf spring-equipped RC vehicles and has been tested and verified for the RC4WD Trail Finder 2 platform in all its primary configurations. The mount may require modification if you're planning to install it on 4-link equipped vehicles, so verify your suspension type before purchasing. The product images show the mount installed on an RC4WD Trail Finder 2 RTR with Mojave II Body Set for reference, though that complete vehicle is not included in this purchase.

Frequently Asked Questions

• What is a transfer case mount and why would I need to upgrade it? — The transfer case is a critical drivetrain component in 4WD RC vehicles that routes power to all four wheels. A transfer case mount holds this heavy component in place. By using a low-profile version, you achieve two benefits: reduced weight and improved approach angles. These changes directly improve your RC crawler's ability to climb steep terrain and navigate technical courses.
• Will this mount improve my Trail Finder 2's performance? — Yes, in two measurable ways. First, reducing weight by 10.5 grams improves your vehicle's power-to-weight ratio, acceleration, and suspension response. Secondly, the low-profile geometry optimises your RC car's approach angle, allowing the front bumper to reach higher angles before the chassis makes contact with obstacles. Both improvements are particularly noticeable when tackling steep climbs or tight rocky terrain.
• Is this suitable for beginners? — This is an upgrade component for experienced RC enthusiasts, not a beginner part. Installing this mount requires you to remove and reinstall your transfer case, which demands familiarity with your RC vehicle's drivetrain. If you're new to RC, we recommend gaining experience with your Trail Finder 2 in standard configuration before attempting component-level upgrades like this.
• What is the difference between this low-profile mount and the standard transfer case mount? — The low-profile version features optimised geometry that reduces height whilst maintaining strength, resulting in a lower chassis profile and improved approach angles. The standard mount sits higher on the vehicle. This low-profile variant is lighter (10.5 grams) and engineered specifically for performance-oriented builds where geometry optimisation matters.
• Do I need the Hammer Transfer Case mentioned in the compatibility section? — Yes, you'll need to pair this mount with a Hammer Transfer Case (1.47/1 ratio, model Z-U0024) for correct operation. The mount is the bracket that holds the transfer case; the transfer case itself is a separate component that handles power distribution to your four-wheel-drive system.
• Will this fit other RC vehicle brands or just Trail Finder 2? — This mount is engineered specifically for the RC4WD Trail Finder 2 platform. It may fit other RC4WD vehicles with compatible transfer case specifications, but optimal fitment and performance are guaranteed only for the Trail Finder 2. Do not attempt installation on other brands or models without verification.
• What makes Delrin a better choice than plastic or aluminium for this application? — Delrin offers the optimal combination of properties for this application: it's stronger than most plastic polymers, significantly lighter than aluminium, absorbs vibration better than metal (protecting your drivetrain), and resists UV degradation reliably. For an RC component that balances weight, durability, and precision, Delrin is an excellent choice used throughout premium RC parts manufacturing.
