Rustymidget thank you sir for the info. That is too wide for what I need. My hard body I'm using has a 7.75 inch wheelbase and is 4.75 inches at the widest part of the body. Again thanks for the help sir. |

That's going to be an interesting one to try and find, your almost down into the 1\24 scale stuff which is around 4" wide I think. You might be around dimensions of the WPL trucks (hilux, FJ40 etc) but you would have to check as I don't have one to make sure. On another note I got my Thunder Tiger Hilux today! looks great (ordered in black just in case and it has the better looking axles) and battery was charged enough to give it little indoor test. Very impressed at the price, is it a scx10 or trx4? Obviously not but it is way better than toy grade (some of which cost the same as this). I think I'm going to play with gearing a bit to slow it down and swap tires around for now and see how it does, then maybe shock upgrade down rd. |

Yeah, they are not bad out the box tbh, particularly at some of the prices you can get them for now - I paid about 110 gbp for mine, which I don't think is bad. I've done quite a few bits to mine to improve performance, like lowering battery position, making tie rod more rigid, trimming body to lower it to improve CoG etc, currently working on adapting some Kyosho 1/14 oil shocks to fit and going to make an ali servo mount to move the servo back in the chassis a bit. Also have a 390 to try at some point, but want to get all the chassis bits sorted first.

I will have to share my 4WS Tioga build with you guys. I built it up for my two year old. I have some ideas for the new Hilux as well. | |

@sprouty If You’re lucky, the shocks are already the oil dampened ones, but without oil. My c12’s both came with them. After disassembling I found-out all silicone o-rings and such were already in, even the compensation bladder in the top. I only had to add some 100wt shock-oil. Done. Though, truth be told, the ‘fit’ of the o-rings was not very good on the older release. Had to put a tiny, thin extra spacer in the cartridge where the 2 o-rings sit around the shaft, to get the silicone rings to squeeze hard enough to be leak-free. But after that they were fine. Still don’t leak after several packs through it. |
