Toyota Hilux SCX10

[StigAre]

Well, another thread... hehe.
I have taken the same pictures as the rest of the builds in here, with the box, and the parts assembled, don't bother posting more of that...

Here is some pictures of the almost finished product, there is still some small things to sort out...

Hope you enjoy my Yota'

Would really like to see some pictures with the body off so can see how you mounted your yota body.. I have one as well and not sure how Im mounting it yet..

[Terminator13]

This is just how I was planning to builf mine. :D

Any pics of how the body mounts? And whats your track width with the wheels?

[StigAre]

Here's some pics whitout ht body.
The body post is still a little rough, needs shaping and paint, hasn't gotten around to that yet.

The trackwidth is (center-center tire) 7inches (about 180mm)
Outside measurements (tire-tire) is about 9inches (225mm)

thanks for posting pics. The body does a good job of covering the tires- I was afraid that the tires would stick out too far, that's why I haven't built my kit yet.

[StigAre]

That's what I thought too, but with the incredibly narrow axial hexes and 0 offset rims, and a set of bushwackers, no problem :)

[2JSC]

Exactly what I have been waiting for some one to do. Did you have to adjust the wheelbase at all? When I build a Hilux, I'm using an SCX chassis. Looks really nice! "thumbsup"

[StigAre]

No I didn't do anything with the wheelbase, 11.4" - 11.5", not a big difference, not even noticeable :)

[2JSC]

Awesome - can I get a pic with the stock SCX wheels are tires? Just for referance. Thanks! "thumbsup"

[StigAre]

'Course you can...
Here is some shots with the axial rims and proline flatiron.

They are a little longer out than the hpi rims with moabs.
And the moabs is a little wider than a "normal" 1.9 wheel, so with the flat iron on hpi rim, the wheels would be not so much outside the body...

[2JSC]

Sweet! Looks just about right for what I want to do. "thumbsup" Thanks again.

[4wdmt]

Thank you sir for posting those pics. Nice reference. Best body I have seen in an SCX-10 "thumbsup".

[REDCORN]

it looks really cool. I want that body. Did you cut the tires and then reglue them...

[StigAre]

Thanks guys :)
Yes, the tires are reduced 2.2 Moabs, I like em :)

I do enjoy a nice winter, but right now I just wanna take my truck out and drive on some rocks and shit :)

It is about 70cm of snow in my backyard.....

[BCCrawlerZ]

Thanks for the body off pics man... I kinda figured the box has to be cut up a bit to make it to work.. But great mounting! Also what did you make the tonnue cover out of? PM me with the details on what you used and how you mounted it.. I love the idea!

[dR. hOOK]

Man that looks sweet! I was thinking of buying one of these & doing the same body but looking @ yours gets me even wanting it more. Nice truck man!"thumbsup"

[StigAre]

Thanks again :)

The bedcover is a quite simple construction.
I used a thin aluminium plate, cut it to the right size and dressed it with a leather type material, folded it around the edges of the plate, and glued underneath. so it's loose on top, like a tarp.

And I used a standard hinge and bolted it to the bed.
Quite simple, but really nice I think :)

[atekt]

That is a killer body! Best one I have seen on an Scx10

[khj94704]

that's exactly how i'd like my scx to look, and i've been toying with the idea of painting it that same color scheme as well to match my pajero, but i'm wondering if it would be strange to have two cars essentially the same color. as someone that doesn't really have the materials (or the skills) to fabricate my own mounts, is there any reason you didn't just drill holes in the body to line up with the body posts above the shock hoops?

[BCCrawlerZ]

Thats awesome man.. Im gonna have to grab a chunk of metal from work and hit a fabric store!

[Going Up!]

this is EXACTLY what I have been wanting to do, get the axial kit, and a yota body!"thumbsup"

[StigAre]

The reason for me not mounting the body on the original posts is because the body will be sitting a bit high for my taste, but there is not a problem doing so...

Thanks for all the good words guys :)

[Wrecker]

Nice, that's how I'm building up my SCX10. I just need to find the time to actually put it all together.:lol:

[blue bronco]

hey man, what lighting system did you use and how did you hook it up? Can i see some pictures?
this is the sickest hilux i have seen in a while. AWESOME BUILD A+++++
Thanks, Cody

X2, I was just talking about this earlier today. This post is definitely inspiring me. Turned out great!! "thumbsup"

[ToyFarm]

[StigAre]

[BikeDad]

Great looking truck. The weathering , rusty wheels and tire chains really set it off. A marked improvement over the new paint job! The camper shell also looks quit nice. BTW, did you make the chains or are they an after market product?

[01tj]

did u make that peice to mount the cab to the frame?

[dirtjumpingjosh]

wish my rig looked that good lol where can you find a body like that?

[big bronco]

[StigAre]

The body mount pieces are homemade yes.
The cap (hardtop) is bought as is, from RCModelex...

[big bronco]

looks good!
do they make the hard top for bobbed bed yotas?

[StigAre]

They doesn't have one in the store.
But maybe you could get one custom made...

Or just shorten one for yourself.

[eemmaaxxxx]

Like it! Chains look awesome, and the lights are cool. What camera do you use for your pics??

[StigAre]

Thanks.
I'm using a Canon IXUS 80IS compact camera.
