Default Who Has a Truckin' Mini 4WD or Similar?
I went to HobbyTownUSA (where they rejected to exchange my cut up HS-55 servo...) and bought a Truckin' Mini 4WD Toyota Land Cruiser Parado RZ for a somewhat nifty $13.00 without sales tax:




It's pretty nice. There's some nice torque comming from it considering it's a regular 130 motor running it.

The body itself has some stickers. I got rid of most of them so I could possibly (and horribly) paint the body.






If someone says, "You should use those tires for sick crawler!" I will smack them silly. Mostly because it's smaller than an Xmods.






I'm not sure if this is in the right section, so if any Mod wants to, they can move it elsewhere.

Although the tires are smaller than the Xmods you may be able to get away with them. They look as if they're pretty sticky and not made out of plastic. Are they rubber or plastic?

They look like real soft rubber to me. Almost like Cooldragon(sp?)'s tires he molds. Maybe not that soft but pretty close. Plus, it is Tamiya

If they're rubber, they'll stretch. Take them off the rim they're currently on and stretch them around a slammed kit tire. See if they fit and if they work. I'd suspect it'd work nicely, actually.

Just by feeling them, the Xmods Off-Road tires seem a little stickier... So it won't be of much use I guess...

I could put a better motor in it. All I really need are motors and Alkalines.

Technically, no. It's just a motor, plastic, a few gears, metal, and 2 AA batteries. If I find a better motor, I can swap it out. I could make a video of it going in straight lines in my backyard though.

I like the warning on the box....
"Never use Ni-MH batteries."

I got confused reading this, I thought it was just a model car!

Throw in a LiPo pack dude, and a plasmatomic, you will have the coolest toy in SR.

It's not a model car... Which is sort of cool because I can actually have it drive around... In a straight line... joy... I would put in a few Ni-MH's, but I don't want to put a few in and have them explode in a few seconds... I might take a few pics of the inner workings. It's a pretty simple gear system...

I find it weird you can't use convetional recharable batteries, but you can use Tamiya's recharable batteries...

It will be a while before I go back to that hobby store... I don't even know where I can get a Plasmatomic motor... But I did find a Plasma Dash motor for $4.50. I'm trying to figure out a way to put in a battery holder so I can shove in a few more AA's...

Chasis pics:




On, Off. Simple.





Motor


Battery connection thingy. That's where the tabs of the motors go.

Sorry for the shakey pictures. I was having a seizure.

This is where the Motor's gear connects to the drive shaft


The springs allow for the screw gear to move back and forth without sliding off to Jupiter.
