@rednexRC -It's a beauty for sure. And the owner (not mine) does drive it from time to time, gingerly. At least its not a shelf queen. Really an amazing build.
that body is awesome. i had one just like it but the real thing. wish i would never have sold it. now im building a axial scx10 to look just like my real jeep unlimited that im building for wheeling. GREAT JOB
@450hp202turbo -Its not very close actually. First, its a newer generation of 4runner. Second, it's lexan so its not got nearly as much detail, even with the hard plastic grill and such. Although its fine if you just want a 4runner and its cheap relatively.
Aside from the guy in the video at 2:37, you could've muted the audio, put in some music, and it would pass as a 4runner on tons. Especially, with the onboard cam views. This could fool a lot of people into thinking it was a 1:1 scale truck on a trail.
@FTORC1 -Thanks. I definitely try to give the sense of realism in my videos. This 4runner actually looks EXACTLY like the 1:1 he owns. Even the stance on the axles and tire height.
@GWARIOR666 -Wish you could buy one. This was hand made, custom. There are some, much less detailed and less realistic, 4runner bodies available though. Grab an SCX-10TR or HOncho and a 4runner body from RC4WD and you're set.
wow that is impressive. It got me fooled at first. I thought it was a real car but it keeps on making that sound. That peculiar radio control toy car gives it away otherwise it hard to tell. Good job.
@dragonvue09 -It is a work of art. A friend made this from scratch practically. It's an exact replica of another friends full size 4runner, down to every exact detail. This video doesn't do the detail in this justice...even the headlight lenses say "Sylvania" for pete's sake, lol.
@MrCreatureofHabit -lol, its fooled a lot of people. This is an exceptionally well detailed and accurate representation of the owners 1:1, right down to the missing moulding, lol.
@pantablo heyy man i have a real 1985 4runner haha anyways where did u get that rock crawling hilux from or is it a high lift toyota hilux cause im gunna buy one please answer
@joeyisfunny -I think the high pitched beep you're referring to comes from the electronic speed control, not the motor itself. Some high end ESC's make that type of beeping noise. He doesn't use a high end ESC in this.
@pantablo Nope, its actually from the motor. Its the pulse width modulation frequency coming from the digital output on the ESC. The switching current moving through the coils in the motor create an audible sound at the frequency of the pulse, usually around 100Hz - 2kHz. I cant figure out why theres no sound coming from this one, unless the switching frequency is out of audible range or not produced at high enough decibels??
@joeyisfunny -really. N Obeeping noises from my rigs...I've only ever seen comp rigs do that, or scale rigs with the same high end setups in most comp rigs.
@dmncsantaniello -body started as a previous generation toyota truck, the "Hilux" that Tamiya makes. Then it was heavily modified adn added on to using sheet styrene, glues and lots and lots (and lots) of sanding. A friend made it and at one time I estimated over 100 hours in it. It is spectacular in person though.
@MrKeithatkinson -I'll pass along your kind words. I didn't make this nor did the owner. A friend made the body for another one in our group. It's pretty stunning in person. This video doesn't do it justice. it is an EXACT replica of the guys 1:1 4runner. Exactly.
Thanks pedwardm, I will. It's still in his fleet of toyotas and of course his favorite. Nice to see he's not afraid to scratch it too, although he does baby it a bit, lol.
I believe it. The owner of that rc truck also has a 4runner that looks exactly like it, lol. This 1:10 scale beauty was made as an exact replica of his, right down to the tire size, hole for missing rear fender trim, etc, lol. This body is hand made. 100's of hours of work and is magnificent in person. You can buy a lexan 4runner body at rc4wd though.
Thanks lolahavasuaz. Its just as much fun building them as it is driving them. Great thing to do with the kids too. My 7 yr old drives the orange 4 door toyota.
Thanks mattskater345. I can take credit only for the video. That's my friend's truck and its an exact replica of his 1:1. Exact. Its stunning in person.
Nice. I finally made a video of my cheapo wal-mart truck lol....I posted it on my channel. Shot at "Avenue J Rocks" off-road park (a pile of rocks in my back yard) haha.
It varies greatly. You can get started with a nice rig for about $300-$350 or so. Maybe slightly under $300 if you start with the very capable SCX-10TR. This particular one will cost you much more though. There's quite a few hundred dollars just in parts (axles in this are $200/pr) and the body took 5 months to make from scratch.
So, $300 to infinity...its a great hobby though. Great fun building these and driving them.
Styrene is hard plastic, like ABS plastic. Think of 1/24 scale models. The "hardbodies" that come with Tamiya Hilifts, etc are ABS/styrene. Lexan is flexible clear plastic. lean it against a rock and it will fold under. Totally different things. Also, you can't get the same level of detail in the lexan shell at all.
The white 4runner you see is probably $400-$500 not including the hand made body. That body is a one-off hand built body that took 6 or so months to make.
I agree, dylandec08. Wish I had the patience and skill to make it. Friend of mine made it. And I don't think there's a price he'd accept to do it again, lol.
i completely understand- but tell your friend his attention to detail is phenomenal- makes me want to look into doing my own- now if i could just get the wife to let me spend some more money..lol
Will do. This doesnt even do the details justice. Seriously. His headlight lenses have the identical lines as the 1:1 and also say "Sylvania" on them (he had the lettering etched on). It's insane in person. Funny thing is, the 1:1 he copied has those exact tires and they are accurate to their size! The 1:1 looks EXACTLY like that.
Thanks jtf93, lol! Funny enough, it looks exactly like the owners 1:1 too, lol. It was made as an exact replica, right down to the missing trim (and exposed hole for trim mounting!).
That 4runner body is all hand custom made by the way.
Yes. One of the local regulars made it. He started from a basic Hilux body then cut some away and added a bunch of shaped styrene, then finishing it off with lots of sanding and filling. I'm oversimplifying it though. Took him about 5 months to do the body.
Thanks. this particular body is hand made but you could start with an Axial SCX-10 or a Tamiya Tundra/Hilift/Hilux kits. Good starter rigs that are easily modified later.
Very nice work, credit to the builder! I looked in scale4x4rc in the forums and couldnt find a "Top Builds" forum. Could you post a link? thanks! Great vid :)
thanks there is none out ive seen so i guess il stay with a regular body, or do u know were i can find the new hilux body? the latest hilux u know which one im talking about?
check with RPPhobbyDOTcom. they usually have very good prices and a good stock of them. They carry the ford f350, old hilux, new hilux (you mean tundra?), chevy clod body as well as others. Great customer service too.
no not the thundra but thanks, theres alot of cool stuff there, (in ur oppinion wats better looking the hilux or the thundra?) cause i really dont know wats better looking haha
don't be fooled. Schumacher is not the stig. ferarri only lets certain people drive their cars and he's one of them. I suspect its Neil from Fifth Gear actually . Can't think of his last name at the moment.
Custom scale chassis, RC4WD t-rex 60 axles...pretty much all custom. Not a kit. If you want a crawler check out Axial's SCX-10. its a great base to start from.
he is Youtube user SebringMGB so you could contact him directly yourself. At the moment I know he doesn't have access to computer and wont for a month or more. He may get sporadic access though. He used to be more regular but had a life changing event and is a little disconnected from the internet world at the moment.
I didnt make it but know the guy who did. It took him 4 MONTHS of solid work to get that body. Its pretty much made from scratch but he used the Tamiya Hilux as a base. You could take a Tamiya Hilux body and get similar results with lots of time, patience and styrene...
wow, ya i don't think I'll be making anything like that anytime soon, I just got into the hobby & am just starting my first 100% build from nothing. Thanks for the reply.
I didnt make it but know the guy who did. It took him 4 MONTHS of solid work to get that body. Its pretty much made from scratch. You could take a Tamiya Hilux body and get similar results with lots of time, patience and styrene...
The back cap of the 4runner? that, along with the entire body, is hand made from scratch. Although the body started as an earlier model toyota pickup, but there is hardly anything left of the original body, most of what you see is hand fabricated out of styrene plastic.
I will, both the builder and the owner, lol. Very lucky guy. I can't imagine that anything that was paid for it was enough given the exceptional craftsmanship.
Wish I could take the credit. I didnt make it though. It IS fantastic and the video quality doesnt do it justice. I mean, you can read the "Sylvania" on the etched headlight!
can you buy them built or do you have to build them? how much does it cost either way? would love to make a 4runner one aswell just in red and white

that looks so real i wont a body like that for my truck
richpopey 3 years ago
I didnt make it but know the guy who did. It took him 4 MONTHS of solid work to get that body. Its pretty much made from scratch. You could take a Tamiya Hilux body and get similar results with lots of time, patience and styrene...

lookersd 3 years ago
thanks. I was trying to make it as realistic as possibly, mainly because the driver/owner has this exact truck as a 1:1.

He made the body from scratch. You cannot buy this body anywhere. There is only this one in existence.

Thank you very much! The mitsubishi montero I'm building for charity wont be ready for a couple months but I will be doing a video of the test run...

hey where did you get the top
driftingallnightlong 3 years ago
The back cap of the 4runner? that, along with the entire body, is hand made from scratch. Although the body started as an earlier model toyota pickup, but there is hardly anything left of the original body, most of what you see is hand fabricated out of styrene plastic.

its a nice truck i though it was a 1:1 scale
driftingallnightlong 3 years ago
its an exact replica of his 1:1 4runner actually. Its very nice bodywork. The person who made it is a true craftsman. I didnt make it.
pantablo 3 years ago

Man that some bad skills!!Great build and video!The driving was done in a very scale manner too!!
xtraflyr 3 years ago
thanks. I noticed that too-nice and slow like 1:1 driving. Maybe because he was afraid to scratch it, lol..

I will, both the builder and the owner, lol. Very lucky guy. I can't imagine that anything that was paid for it was enough given the exceptional craftsmanship.

Wish I could take the credit. I didnt make it though. It IS fantastic and the video quality doesnt do it justice. I mean, you can read the "Sylvania" on the etched headlight!
