Tamiya Hilux High lift rc4wd R2, punishers, portals, 1.9 trail doctors

[Rockabillygoaty]

These are one of the best looking kits Ive seen!

I run a KBF and are not anything like this one.

The detail on these are second to nene, except the real thing!

[tilligetbig]

that things was like AHHHH get me outa this hole!! RAHHHH... no problem



[flight110]

i was kinds pissed when i clicked on this because it looked like the real thing (what i was browsing for) but this thing alctually looks like a tank, pretty cool kit.

[blindone661]

how much did u spend on this truck i want 1 but are they all $400-$500

[jezwah]

@blindone661 they are all 4-500 brand new as they are such a detailed kit, and usual tamiya quality(excellent). you may be lucky to find one 2nd hand cheaper. Mine now owes me twice what it cost, but thats cos i modded it so many times. I had so many original parts that i only had to buy 2 more axles and i was able to build another highlift (all standard running gear)

[blindone661]

@jezwah how much work do they need on regular basis

[jezwah]

@blindone661 i filled the diffs and R2 trans with grease over 2 years ago and they still are perfect inside today. no maintenance. all electronics have never faulted. they are very low maintenance and last a long time !

[blindone661]

@jezwah great because i think im going to buy, build one for my birthday. i wanna make these vids they look hella fun

[jezwah]

@blindone661 cool !

[blindone661]

@jezwah did u order urs for internet if so exaclly where cuz i f-ing love that truck

[bayareaaxialcrawler]

you still making vids of this truck cause its killer

[jezwah]

@bayareaaxialcrawler jezwah

10 seconds ago @bayareaaxialcrawler hey mate, that truck pretty much got converted into the trailfinder chassis you see above in video responses. The body on it now was a second hand purchase that i started doing up. The white body got sprayed black and is now on scx10 running gear with mudslinger 1.9s. I do want to get the portals out again though. they are evil :D

[jayhawk184]

i think you need more weight in the front

[owengilbert]

do u have any links on where u bought urs?

[jezwah]

@owengilbert i bought it from tcscrawlers (america) over 2 years ago mate. they are drying up, thats why you need to go searching online.

[owengilbert]

where can u buy 1 in australia and how much?

[jezwah]

@owengilbert i don't think many places sell them now. you have to buy online so do some searching for the tamiya hilux

[mozaks80]

haha.. awesome stuff

[TheFaygoFanatic]

i want one how much do they cost

[theglitchen]

trading my t-maxx 3.3 for a high lift truck

[tontsa955]

[jezwah]

Tamiya Hilux High lift 1.9 trail doctors, portal axles, punisher shafts, R2 RC4WD, 60T eagle,mc330cr, custom chassis

[jezwah]

check out the latest video response. It's gotten some paint and it's on the rocks with mud tires  :D Comments and Ratings appreciated good or bad !

[bayareaaxialcrawler]

how did you mount the tranny

[jezwah]

gday, check out the video response above. it shows how the trans is mounted. Thanks !!

[falconwagon61]

where did you get the parts to build this?

[jezwah]

bought the tamiya hilux kit from tcscrawlers. bought the R2 trans, portal axles and punisher shafts from rc4wd. The tires were ordered from tinytuffstuff, and the chassis is home made.

Cheers

[lynette1953]

nice truck jew:)

[Borneosafari]

tired with the hard flex lift spring? i used to face this situation too but I have come up with a solution ! Watch my video for more infor ! ( half cut lift spring give more flex ). i hope it help for 1/10 scale rc lovers :)

[jezwah]

Thanks for that, it's not a bad idea.I will probably just put some weight down low on the diffs or preferably in the wheels. I don't think 1/10 scalers will like it because it isn't how it's done on a real 4x4.

[hardcoretam]

That motor looks like it has a lot of torque

[jezwah]

It's an Eagle 60Turn, it has a decent amount of torgue. The portal axles help alot too with the 1.5:1 reduction. Also the R2 tranny is running standard pinion, 8 tooth I believe. For people who like wheelspeed, they will hate this setup. I like to make it up a climb based on traction though, not speed.

Many Thanks

[Morongotongo123]

This is the way to Crawl ..

Like Marlin said .. Slow Baby Slow !!

and Marlin is ( in my opinion ) the most respected Yota Crawler Master

and your Scale Yota is just the way i want Mine to Run *****

[jezwah]

Thanks mate ! can't wait to see yours

[jezwah]

hey mate, they are 1.9 S.D.I Trail Doctors

[smokesjoints]

what tires? kinda look like iroks

[ADDentertainment4oz]

[dflext1962]

are those the portals from rcwd, what was the type of axle used, and how wide did it end up being.

thanks

[jezwah]

Hi dflext1962,

yes they are RC4WD Portals, they are stock hilift diffs ( locked ) and width is 230mm (end of portal axle thread)

cheers
