| description | This is my next long term scale truck project, I am doing a complete build thread on scale4x4rc (for a scale pickup build contest) but I wanted to at least show some build shots here to give ideas and I will definately have lots of action and outdoor shots later. I looked very hard at buying an original Hilux but I would have ended up changing it so much It worked better for my tastes to start with an Rc4wd Bruiseruptor scale truck chassis and modify it to work for my needs. I am going to build a flat bed ranch working truck with full interior and driver but here is my first shots and rough mock-ups.

Thanks guys, the rear cab back is made by Reign RC, it saved me a lot of building time and is nicely machined to fit the Hilux with minimal filling.
That looks good. I like the wheels.
This looks great Seth. The rear cab filler panel looks truely scale! Awesome work so far!
This woudt be a great build in that contest. Great work so far, and i like the rear panel of that body.
Thanks C
yep, that looks awesome. you will get better performance with them mounted like that in the rear as well.also, i forgot to mention that i used the stock bruiser shocks on my brawler, i just painted them white
Thanks guys I went digging in my junk and found 4 rc4wd scale shocks and removed the springs and built a little bracket to center them in rear, wow you guys are right much softer, I'll polish them later to get rid of threads and blue anodizing, or try SRB shocks etc. Thanks guys, Added some pics
Seth, you can use the Tamiya SRB re-release shocks, they are smaller and I see them on ebay all the time cheap.
i am using srb shocks on quesoII. they look and work pretty good. will post some pics here shortly so you can see.
Oh yeah this is going to be good
I will surely follow this build !! What is that rear cab wall,Tamiya ?? Be Well Seth !!
Whoohooho! Pretty sure this will be a top ranking car in that contest.
Thanks guys, yeahthe rear shocks will have to go and get relocated to make room for bed anyway, but I don't know of any thinner shocks, that are not turned on a lathe anyway C?
Very interesting as always - I wish I had an ounce of your talent, Seth! Rock on
looks awesome seth,i can already tell this will be one of my favorite trucks. having the motor/tranny over the front axle really gives a great feel and driving realism. one thought, since you are running leafs, i would suggest using a more scale shock without internal springs that are thinner. hope you have a wonderful christmas buddy
Looks great so far Seth.
Keep us updated on this project thanks for sharing mate
I can't wait to see this one outside. I was thinking about saving my pennies up for a bruiseruptor I should be able to get one by next septober.
stunning!just how many scale trucks does one man need?lol
Wow !this truck going to look great I am for sure . Nice alu-parts especially the gearbox-cases . I like the ladder-frame and the rims. Very nice project!!
This is going to be a nice looking truck. already looking tuff.
Looks promising. Oh, and Merry Christmas, Wyoming!
I bought them at Rpphobby about six months ago but yes they are hard to find lol! rc4wd also sells them now
Looking forward to seeing progress on this, where do you get the fender guards ? Always out of stock when i look for them.
