|  Subarux Hirux now with more RC4WD D44s!
Been quite a few years since I competed, I think the last was MSD scale nats 08  A lot has changed since then but, with the help of some assholes I know, I am hoping to put together a pretty cool rig for this event. I actually didnt have anything that fit class 2, well I did but my fj40 doesnt have a windshield so that was out...While cruising the classifieds for an early birthday present the other week I stumbled upon a pretty cool Hilux project and scooped it up. I then ordered some goodies from RC4WD and cleared the work mat off... Got myself quite a nice parts list here... RC4WD Yota axles RC4WD yota 4 link kit RC4WD Yota steering kit RC4WD KING 90mm scale shocks 62pyro lower 4 links Vaterra wheels with MThead Yota beadlock rings Pitbull tires Axial frame set with rear shock mount Custom Hilux body with bobbed/dropped and dovetailed bed, pinched nose, trimmed flares, custom bumpers and roll bar/sliders Proline scale accessories 1st up was to crack the axles open and pack the full of grease  4 link brackets and steering installed  filled the KINGS up with some 30wt and installed them  62Pyro blinging lower links   Axial trans installed with pede shafts and steel yokes (might be upgrading those...)  I was going to order a CMS then I remember I had a spare Tf2 frame that I have been stealing parts from...the rails were molested bad but the cross members and other parks have going to good use. I cut the front servo mount down, re-tapped it and installed into the axial chassis  I have spent the last day or 2 getting the body up to snuff, this included things like my infamous Hilux flat black hood, details such as window trim and door lines painted in, MThead emblems, new head lights and grill lights. I also stole the dash and door panel kit from the clone to the 3rd power. I wasnt happy with how the brown match the real truck but itll work great in this.       MTHead emblems, inner fenders well, its all about the little details...you may or may not have noticed the vent windows I added   Tossed the 22r out, this bitch has a detuned 500horse power Subaru 2.7 stroker with a rotated 6266      Interior parts in paint   Had a couple of bucks left over from my Bday, so these goodies are in route... Locked Up RC TG replica wheels and rings   Holmes Hobbies BXLR Water proof ESC and 35t motor   Thats its for now, work 3-11 today. More progress this week... thanks for looking -Mike Last edited by 1BadJeepBruiser; 07-28-2013 at 03:24 PM. |

Beautiful truck! Your misspelling in the title made me say it with a bad Korean accent.

How did you get the Pitbulls to seat on the TH's Beadlocks. Was it just the new rings or did you do something else? |

Where did you pick up the Vatera wheels? That is a sick combo with the pits wrapped around them. And MTHeads beads add icing on the cake. Super clean C2 build |

 if I do find one to fit it definitely will sport a helmet from something like the vaterra TH Quote:
I have quite a few details planned for this truck that I am hoping will get it to stand out. The scene is gonna be full of some great looking scalers when you have guys like pardonmyn00b and imthatguy competing as well.
