It looks to be well done for what it is, but Jeeps and Toyotas have gotten stale. How about some American hard bodies?

Guess I'm a sheep now... Didnt realized i was getting paid though, my check must have gotten lost in the mail

No, we are moving towards what a scale truck is suppose to be...REALISTIC. Which since the down fall of comp crawling has been an issue for years, although SORCCA has done a good job revising the rules the past 2 years.


Not everyone wants a tiny truck that can pull the same lines a 2005 super build did. Some of us want it to look and work like the 1:1s we wheel.

I for one am glad that the body set dropped, now I don't have to be harassed about selling my n00b ones anymore



Need it to warm up a bit so I can paint it, not sure if I wanna go white and black like my 86 I had or something different.

I say bring them on. Jeep, yota, etc. Doesn't matter to me. If you think it's played out then don't buy it. It wasn't so long ago we were scrambling for the few kinda scale new bright bodies that were popular. Now we are getting some nice proper sized bodies with ultra scale details parts and i for one love it. I can't wait to get my hands on this 4runner.

Shill not sheep. There's a difference. I never mentioned you or anybody else by name. I don't know who gets paid, who gets free stuff, and who just has a brown nose. And, hey, I'm jealous I don't get free bodies.

The scale is awesome. I like it. But at a certain point bodies are going to be too heavy.

I will say that I'm glad they finally gave a body a good interior! I'm excited to see what people do with this one.

And, for Toyotas, this is a good looking one so, again, I'm looking forward to what people do with it.

Say it louder so the people in the back can hear you


I remember when this was only your option for a 4Runner

Yep, just wait until you roll this one down a 15 foot bank and the hood and doors go flying off. That's why I stick to Lexan.

[Shinchu]

Wouldn't that be like rolling a 1:1 off like an 85 foot bank?

I would hope the hood and doors fly off! THAT would be HELLA SCALE YO!

I watched some vids from the shill who shall not be named.
ME LIKEY. A LOT.
I already have a sweet build in mind. (So that means no mike you cant do black and white lol)

Now to go sell my organs...

Back to that preorder ship date thing, anyone have any info? I can’t wait to get one of these in hand. These days I have way more fun with my less capable scale trucks than my most capable trucks. It’s all relative right?!

RPP has the ETA as mid/late March.

[ternandbern]

So I contacted RC four-wheel-drive and they said first shipment should be here in 2 to 4 weeks, not bad. Til then I’ll be looking forward to some good running footage.

[tuanies]

I hope they offer an RTR, as much as I want a hard body, I don't want to paint and assemble every piece of the body.

[teamreedracing]

I just preordered mine from rpp hobby for one cause they have free shipping and discount coupons can't wait
