5 Attachment(s) OK some more work on the suspension set up. I tinkered with the leafs a bit to get them just how I want them. I noticed that the stock damper travel was being limited so I cut a little bit off the top of the innner rod. First pic shows fully compressed stock damper on top and the one below it was modified. Only a few millimeters difference but it helped a lot. I also just got my Spektrum DX3R setup and a pro boat waterproof esc. I waterproofed the rx and now I just have to get to the steering servo and ill be good to go snorkel deep"thumbsup" Except I dont have a snorkel:-( I also installed a Kawada 50t mx6 motor and a 15 tooth pinion. Wheel speed and torque are spot on now. The 20 tooth pinion was too fast with the r2 tranny. I can not wait to get this thing back out on the rocks this weekend with the new sliders and suspension setup, not to mention waterproof!!! |
Wow, your Hilux keeps getting better and better. "thumbsup" Very nice. It sure flex's / articulates well. It's builds like this and others on the forum that inspire me to want to work harder on mine8). |

I put the new rock sliders to the test yesterday. Here are a few action shots from the trip I took with 1badjeepbruiser and our rigs. The leaf springs on this rig are really breaking in nicely and it flexes really well now. |
Toyota Hilux Great build. I can't believe how real it looks. Major props on the entire build. |
NEW skips!!! I Got these wheels and tires pretty cheap brand new sometime last spring. I was going to use them on something else but I mocked them up on this truck and really liked them. I threw some MSD hubs on and bam!, a whole new look. http://i466.photobucket.com/albums/r...x/IMG_0506.jpg http://i466.photobucket.com/albums/r...x/IMG_0507.jpg http://i466.photobucket.com/albums/r...x/IMG_0508.jpg http://i466.photobucket.com/albums/r...x/IMG_0509.jpg http://i466.photobucket.com/albums/r...x/IMG_0510.jpg http://i466.photobucket.com/albums/r...x/IMG_0511.jpg http://i466.photobucket.com/albums/r...x/IMG_0512.jpg |
Gorgeous Yota "thumbsup"! It just keeps getting better and better. |
just spend half a day reading through your build and the clone thread! my back hurts from hunching over! haha, but i am gathering piece's for a hi lux build and was going to order the trail finder rolling chassis for 500 bones. is that a good option or should i just piece one together from there site? Are the axles that you are running the same that come in the trail finder? sorry for the questions but i just want to get it right the first time.. thanks for all your help! |
Dude, this new tire and wheel combo just made this truck "thumbsup" They need to say for sure! It also looks 10000000x better with the battle scars :mrgreen: and its gonna get a whole lot more this up coming season 8-) |

thanks, i think i will go with the yota upgrade axles for sure, when i get the funds anyways. and i will go with the black chassis, im not much for the chorme. and i'm sure i will have tons of questions even after reading through your build. i have most of the body parts, minus the interior i cant find that.. is there a good place to find that. i ordered everything else from rpp but i couldn't find that on there site. thanks again. |
