| 01 Tacoma - Lets get started
So ive been away from the hobby several years, it doesnt look like this body ever gained traction, im assuming due to it being on the small side. Been working on it for a little bit now and figured i should share. 10.2 Kit Chinese 2 speed GRC inner fenders trimmed Tekin rx4 Roc 412 Chinese wheels im switching to SSD hubs and scale hardware, will save a couple mm per side. |

I was kinda surprised it wasn't more popular too. The proportions are good (close to actual 1/10 scale) and it's got the molded plastic bits that everyone claims to want, seemed like a good deal for $50. After my son's Tacoma body had some rash to it, I bobbed the bed on his at that same point too. Between that, and ditching his winch bumper for the plastic VS410 bumper, that made a significant improvement in approach and departure angles. It is begging for some narrower axles though. My son has yota2's and SSD Contender (TRD wheels) with narrow hubs and 4.19 km3's and the tires are roughly 1/2 way outside the fenders. It doesn't look bad, but narrower would look even better. His has an AX2 2 speed (or possibly a clone, can't remember?) and scx based aftermarket frame rails too, so your builds aren't terribly far apart from each other by the looks of it.

Love the body but seems like they tried to proprietarize it to RC4WD axles. Only drawback. Had it been .5-.75” larger scaling it’d been a really hot item.

I've always liked the looks of this body. It's just a bit too narrow for my rigs. Nice paint job and bob! Following to see more! I see you're in Marengo. Looks like you're just down the road from me. |

Yaah - it's a great looking body but unfortunately most of the builds I've seen with it look like monster trucks due to the size/relation to tire poke. Have not seen one bobbed, bring on the pics...need more builds going on in this forum.

| Re: 01 Tacoma - Lets get started Thats what bugged me, every build ive seen looks like theres 10 feet between the ground and bottom of the door, so i kept mine hunkered down, I like the way it looks.

I like the 01 Tacoma body, I had it on my son SCX10. any details on how you did the bob? I was gonna bob the bed of my son's truck but someone decided they needed to have the truck more than us and stole it. Maybe I'll get another when the 4Runner body on his ne-used TRX4 gets too mangled
