Excellent truck! I'm just sketchy that the model base may not hold in certain conditions. Are you going to keep with the model bed, go for a more 'wood bed' thing, or make a custom rear to it?

Thanks man, the steering link I made from last update got broken during test run, so I made another one, and it doesn't have any bump steer.

Thanks KITT222, I don't plan on using the bed that comes with the kit, I'll make my own truggy bed, that holds the battery and spare tires.

Update: Got the front drive shaft extended, and the old steering link broke, so I made a new one.






Also started to plan out where the electric will be placed. I removed the power switch from the ESC case, and glued the power/motor wires under the case to make it looks cleaner.





Cut up the rear seat.



I'm planning on making some camping accessories or some kind of cargo to hide the ESC.

if u ever sell this, make sure to include procedures to cure a feint, and also throw in a waterproof bag, for the person's drool to get into..
and tbh, it reminds me of a 1/10 scale cc01 idk why

I don't plan on selling this, so I don't have to worry about making a waterproof bag for it.

Thanks for the link FloydfanYodanman, but I'll be building those scale camping gear out of styrene and putty.

Update: The ESC is now mounted and also removable.






Got part of the chassis painted.



Adding more details underneath the chassis.



Created a cover for the ESC.

As on Scale 4x4, looks great. Good thing you didn't try the front leafs, its nearly impossible(atleast to me) Does shaving the servo mounting blocks for the rear leafs really make much a difference because one of mine keeps slipping whereas the other is held in good.

Thanks, I was going to change the front suspension to leaf set up also, but the real Hilux have front independent suspension and rear leaf suspension, so I just keep the shocks on front and use leaf at the rear. To make those servo mounting block hold better, you have to file them down till they turn to a flat smooth surface, because stock mounting block have a bumpy surface, thats why when the leaf flex, it will slip out of the mounts.

Like mycrors4 said, it started off as a Losi Micro Rock Crawler, with a Aoshima Toyota Hilux Double Cab model kit conversion.

Update: Got the grill painted yesterday, took it out for some outdoor pics. Also working on the truggy rear end.

You've become an incredible scale builder, and I love seeing your stuff. One thing that keeps making the trip to XMS worth coming.
