Tamiya Hilux High Lift - RC4WD Trailfinder Chassis

[ColibriMONOPOL]

It looks fake, as in you just filmed a real truck. Nice work.

[corybechtold]

What radio system do you use?

[jezwah]

@corybechtold Futaba T4EXA 4 Channel FM.- 36mhz. Don't use around planes :D Keeps me clear from all 27-29mhz glitches

[magnetmannenbannanen]

@jezwah i would reccommend the newer 2.4 ghz systems, theyr interferrence free, and they use the fm band so they require far less power.

[jezwah]

@magnetmannenbannanen Thanks for the tip mate. I had noticed how glitch free they are, but didn't know about the lesser power consumption. It was a matter of cost at the time, and I wanted to get Futaba. I will definitely buy a 2.4ghz setup next time i need to buy tx/rx. Thanks again.

[MrPistonHead123]

wot size wheels r on that and don't mean to be cheeky but how much did it cost to build???

[jezwah]

@MrPistonHead123 They are Proline Flat Iron 1.9's. I started with a new Tamiya kit and with all the goodies i bought it owes me over $1000au, but as it runs here with just these parts, probably $400-$500.

[MrPistonHead123]

@jezwah would i be able to put a nitro petrol engine in 1???

[jezwah]

@MrPistonHead123 i can't say it would be impossible, just impractical ! i think rccaraction did a custom txt-1 based nitro crawler a long time ago. just google it mate !

[durst71463]

nice truck! how did u make those cb antennas?

[jezwah]

@durst71463 it's a spring steel antenna for RC cars with a screw clamp adaptor for the receivers antenna to go into. i think it was $10 from a hobby shop. thanks!

[derv1958]

excellent video and scale speeds thanks for sharing :)

[jezwah]

@derv1958 thank you !

[jlameris99]

that looks awesome

[dodgechargersrock]

sweet



[SNEQX2]

Boy, i really LOVE the Aussie landscape and that truck looks fantastic! Good job, hope to see more of Australia being "becrawled"... ;D

[jezwah]

@SNEQX2 Thanks alot !, you've motivated me to get back out there and get more footage :)

[dan97nichols]

did you have to build it because it says kit on the thingy

[jezwah]

@dan97nichols kit indeed means build. If you buy 2nd hand, save you $ and building..but the 1/2 the fun is the building

[jeffnohio]

wow they looked different than than the flat irons to me .. very nice.. thank you for the reply..

[450hp202turbo]

I am thinking i might buy this chassis , sick of looking at the wheels sticking out , 

[jeffnohio]

what tires are you running .. size too if ya dont mind me asking

[jezwah]

@jeffnohio they are the pro-line flat iron tires in 1.9. From their website they quote 4.20" x 1.52" - that is like a 42" tire in real life.

[BIGCAL50CAL]

This is awesome!

And to think RC was only big in short-course.

Boy was I wrong.

[jezwah]

@BIGCAL50CAL Thank you !

[450hp202turbo]

were was this video taken looks familia

[jezwah]

@450hp202turbo it was taken at the quarry near cornubia., QLD, Australia

[450hp202turbo]

@jezwah i just seen all the copper rock and though it look like i place i was at recently Mt PerryQLD there is a old copper mine their. COOL TRUCK !

[dragon0r4p3r]

thnx for the help

i just got my scx10 today im very happy with it =)

[Lite203]

Great Video!. At the beginning I thought it was full scale. You did a great job keeping the tires scale to the truck.

[jezwah]

@Lite203 thanks very much !

[Majktheman]

As I've understood, and what it seems like looking on videos here on the tube, many people drive quite fast as if they were in a hurry or something. So when i saw your video i was happy that at least one person knows how to drive properly :) But as ypu said, everyone is free to drive however they like.

[dragon0r4p3r]

does the gelande winch bumper fit the t-finder chasis???

if not what winch bumper are yo using plz reply

thnx

[jezwah]

@dragon0r4p3r I can't help you with the Gelande, that's a question for RC4WD as they make the T-Finder chassis and the Gelande bumper. But i can tell you that i am using the Proline Western Bumper :) it isn't just a bolt on job though. You do need to make mounts. Cheers !

[Boggerm75]

Great hilux and awesooome terrain for going off road!

[jezwah]

@Boggerm75 thanks !

[Majktheman]

Really like your driving, slow and composed, not racing like most people do with their crawlers. Spoils the scale-look i think.

[jezwah]

@Majktheman Thanks for the compliment. I totally agree on it spoiling the scale look. I don't get the point of building a scaler or crawler, and not driving to scale, or not crawling.

I like to achieve a climb with traction 1st, and momentum 2nd.

But each to their own !! I won't argue with a person who likes to drive fast, thats their style.

[UrbanCrawlersClub]

@lakkieonly you my friend are telling people to get a life when you make video's out of lego characters. Take a look in the mirror

[rdsoneski]

Awesome vid mate!!

[jezwah]

@rdsoneski thankyou !

[randomlettersffchgvo]

i like it

[lakkieonly]

get a life

[jezwah]

@lakkieonly thanks for taking the time to let me know lol :)

[Titleistnumber9]

@lakkieonly if you dont like offroad toys something is very wrong with you my friend

[8391208]

@lakkieonly why do you say that, I think this is a great truck!

[legolover47]

@lakkieonly He has a life, why buy a truck for over $1,000 when you can buy an RC off road vehicle for under $750?

[JakeBmx97]

Hey mate i was just wondering where u got ur hilux body from?? coz im looking at getting one...cheers

[jezwah]

@JakeBmx97 rcpcrawlers have the parts individually. just search hilux on their site. I started off with a whole tamiya kit from tcscrawlers many years ago when they had them. thanks

[ikt93]

Damn, I also have a cheap RC4WD (in both ways, it either goes fast or slow, by a switch, and I can't go slow/fast with the control). And I don't have the right terrain around here. But this looks really nice :)

[jezwah]

@ikt93 thanks !

[pagani2096]
