'84 Toyota with a flatbed

[pardonmyn00b]

This is my build off entry over on scale4x4
So far I've installed the RcBros leaf spring kit. I think it looks awesome on the scx. I'll be painting all of the silver features black, then weathering them.

That's looking badass man, what shocks did you use? And was it a pretty easy swap with the leafs?

I'm using rc4wd 80mm scale shocks. It was a fast and easy swap. Bolts right up.

They have a fair amount of flex.

There was still a little more left in the shock, but I don't have enough weight.

Lookin good and tuff. Would love to see those shocks get some rubber boots added to them as well!

[proraptor]

Wow awesome build....The more I see those leafs the more I want to add some to mine

[Benzbuildr]

Looks good so far, who cares if it is another Hi-lux they look good as a scaler.

so carry on with the build.

Do the leafs come with the kit? If not what ones are you using? Looking good and making me want to do one

I already have boots for the shocks, but everything is getting a light weather so they'd only be in the way.

The kit makes it super easy to do, I recommend it.

Thanks. Oh I don't really care if it's another Hilux. I love these trucks. I'd rather see these than some others.

The leaf springs do not come with the kit. I'm using the red rc4wd leaf springs. (At least they were red when I first got them)



Oh, and I forgot to mention. This is going to be a flatbed and will have an interior. Does anyone know where I can get a clear windshield?

How did you do the weathering?

[BigB_117]

Looks like a good start man, that leaf spring kit looks pretty sweet

[ttown180]

thanks man, im definitely getting the leaf set, i think the tr scx chassis is a bit shorter, would that matter when installing the leafs?

The weathering is real rust on the leaf springs.

The wheels are run of the mill Axial 8 hole 1.9 beadlocks. I just painted them black.

I should get a kick back for promoting this kit.

Driver. Hey there big fella.

[RcBro]

[eddievedder]
