I have a complete Build Video Series on Youtube. This was my first Scale build, and I decided to "Go Big, or GO home!" .. RC Adventures is all about building them as crazy as I can - and showing how much fun can be had with a great hobby. While building this - I filmed it for you to see. Simply Search "Tundra build Video" Forgive the quality - but it was my first Build video series ever. The start of an RC video empire.

Filmed at Fish Creek Provincial Park, in Calgary Canada, the model is a Modified Tamiya Toyota Tundra 4x4 high Lift Kit. The Cost for a stock kit on the Tamiya site is Aprox $750 USD, though you can find it for closer to $500, depending one where you look.

This truck starts off as an extremely SCALE looking vehicle, and includes a 3 Stage Transmission. low, mid, and High Gear. This entire film was shot in Low Gear to mimic scale driving speed, and true mud bogging.

My upgrades include: 1) Lift Kit and Steering mod - JunFac*com, 2) RC4WD 2.2 Mud-Slinger Tires 3) RockStar Aluminum Bead Lock Rims 4) ProLine Memory Foam Inserts. 5) Tekin 35t HW Motor & FXR ESC Rock Crawling Combo 6) Castle BEC 7) RPM Snorkle 8) Custom Fender Flares 9) Custom lights 10) RC4WD "Sparks" Shocks 90mm, 11) 3Racing Winch 12) Team Associated XP HT Digital Steering Servo 13) Hitec 645MG Transmission Servo 14) Team Associated 5 pnd Shock Springs 15) 2, 3S Lipo Batteries - 1550mah 16) Airtronics RDS-8000 RX/TX 8-Channel


TOP 10 COMMON QUESTIONS:

1)Is the Truck Waterproof?
1a) Yes - but The Truck is not waterproof "stock" out of the box. I had to custom water "resist" all areas, and consistently lubricate all moving parts with "Marine" grease.

2) Are the Diffs locked?
2a) Yes, they have a locking option when building.

3) How Heavy is it? You should add some weight
3a) Total Weight of the Truck is 13 Pounds.

4) What is the name of the music used?
4a) I score all of my videos individually. The music you here is a score of loops I custom built for this video. There is no name to it!

5) What Type of Camera do you use?
5a) I use a Sony HDR XR-550v

6) How long does the battery last?
6a) Run time is approximately 60 minutes, depending on your driving style.

7) How many trucks do you have?
7a) This is consistently changing - Aprox 15 rc's

8) Where can I buy this truck?
8b) You cannot purchase this truck "as is".. to replicate it, you would need to order the selected parts.

9) Will you build me a truck like this?
9a) Sorry, I only build RC's for RC Adventures and select Clients

10) How much was this truck?
10a) The total cost of this project was Approximately $2000.00 CAD- And yes, You can buy a real truck for this much money, but wooptie-do, tell someone who cares. This is the hobby I choose ;)

I hope this helps some of you.. after almost 900,000 views.. answering all the questions can be a challenge! Thanks for all the support!!

Thanks for reading and please - just enjoy the film for what it is.. just plain fun :-)

  • how can i buy a tamiya tundra ??

  • @MrDjashley25 Hmmm, I would suggest with money. It may be the only way.

  • @djmedic2008 lol nice dude....also i dig you're tamiya but hows project overkill doing?

  • @drake1474 Why not click my channel and find out for yourself ;)

  • No offense man, but it seems to be quite expensive for the size, all electronics look good (lights, and other things) but it would've have been better if it could reach high speeds, unfortunately it seems to have a top speed of 10 mph or less. Great video though

  • @fernando13e No offense taken my friend. You must not know who I am.. Click my channel.. you will find what you are looking for.
