Hilux Crew cab build

[MR-Design]

Hello a few pict, of my Hilux crew cab i started to build, some weeks ago.
I am from the Netherlands so my English is not the best (sorry for that)
staeted whit 2 front body's try toget tem together







The chassis is the trailfinder



Ooops needs some work on the chasi

stretched te chassis

wat do i do build it whitout bed top or whit a top on?

[guamcrawler]

looks good cant believe you cut the chassis.
good luck on the build

[AeroSynch]

Looks awesome. Great job.

[pantablo]

looks great! I love that you also cut the bed short.
for a second I thought this was my build thread, lol.
I thought about a cab for the bed of mine too but decided against it. I think the dual cab reads better without it.

here's mine.

[obijuan]

no top, otherwise its looking excellent. good work on the cabs, you cant even tell its in two pieces.

[ElChupoCabre]

looks great! NO TOP!

[4 RUNN 1]

looking great NO TOP also...

[MR-Design]

Thanks for the reply
good idea to do it whitout the top
some more steps
I made a new speaker box under the rear bed.

a box for the MFC-02 unitto take away from the most dirt

and reversed the transmission unit to give it space

try of the cab would fit,whit evrything under it

did today the first test run(only front driven becouse i need a longer rear shaft.
i use a stock silver can from tamiya, and it is a bit to fast for my idea. the 2 speed came whit a 10 tooth motor pinion.
is this the standard one ? i ordered a 8 one for trying to gear it down.
i dont know if the mfc-02 unit will accept other than 27 turn,motors
if the 8 motor pinion not works i can try a gear reduction unit mabey

found your's wow this is a greate build you did rims also are verry good

[pantablo]

thanks. yours is looking very good too. ideas on color? also if you're interested in the stripes PM ElChupoCabra on here as he did the paint masks cut out of vinyl, so he could cut you some too for cheap.

try a 55t with the 2-speed and 10t pinion. should be fine.

I used a RLP Truck puller(dont know the turns off that motor? )
but after some longer testing i think it is way to slow

now is use the stock 540 motor and the 7 toth pinion thad i ordered.
did some modd's on the 2 speed tranny for that

also got my rear shaft today, so dit the first outdoor test whit the chassie.

its verry nice to drive, but i think i need te hilift springs in the shocks te spring that are in now are verry hard.

also made a reiciever plate and cover it whit a balloon i think i need a black one.




and also got my kamtec window glasses now wait for the repro interior ,so i can start whit the insite of the truck.
I think it will be yellow,

[Jones323]

great build! looking good, keep the stock motor! they run forever! it takes awhile for them to start smoking, then catch firelol



nice rims toooo.

[jms222]

lookin good!! what color are you thinking of painting this ???

[pantablo]

nice work. good choice of tire.

[MR-Design]

Thanks for the coments

Yea those tires i love them.

and the stock motor is running verry wel in there
Today i did the first steps for the interior, it wil fit very wel whit the chassie


i think i wil put 2 or 3 workers in the cab
also ordered some paint ,and i will be yellow as i have a orange one and a red one
it will have a flat clear coat

[Greg82]

Looking very good. what about wheel color?

[a1racer]

that is very cool looks like a factory job

Woww pablo thats a big truck full of crew, what are that for figures, i have the one's whit the interior, but the are the same so need to do some bodywork on them to get some diverenc
vinding some 1/10 figures is not easy
