Hilux help

[Veilside159]

Hey guys I just got a hilux body for my scx10 and I'm a little confused on how this thing goes together... I bought the front cab and the grill parts tree from RPP and there is no directions... Has anyone found a set of directions for putting this thing together? Or could someone give me some close up shots???

What exactly do you need directions for? How to put the grill on the body? I just glued mine.

I tried that link but it seems to not work...

Im just wondering what some of the parts are for... I see how the grill goes on and the wind shield wipers attach Im just not sure what the rest of the parts are for... I also see now that I should have also got the screw bag and bumper parts tree but I can order those later...

Dont worry about those other parts on the grill tree. They are for the Tamiya High Lift kit.

If you have any other rc's you should probably have some spare m3 nuts and bolts. If not, go for the glue. Anything like shoe goo or amazing goop will do the trick. Most of my rigs are held together with it,

Nice that will save me 33 bucks!!!! Thats the bumpers and lenses

You'll need the screws when you go to install the taillights / buckets / etc. The lenses use tiny M2 screws that I couldn't find anywhere but in the screw kit.

i bought the screw bag, and it was a complete waste of money. you can get m2 screws of a given length by the hundred for ~$7 at mcmaster.com and the tapping screws seem like a #4 tapping screw, <$4 for 100 that are 3/8" long.

So if there's ten different size screws you'd need, to order at McMaster-Carr, even for $3.50 per 50, you'd end up spending $35 and still not get the mirror mounts, mirror spring, l-bracket for the grille, and other assorted items that come in the screw kit. YMMV, of course.
