|  1.9 Toyota Flaty!
This has been my dream project for quite some time. I have always admired all of these beautiful Toyota builds in this forum and it is finally my turn to build one. This will be my most detailed build so far. I have lots of plans to build this truck to give all the yotas a run for their money. Plans are to build this truck to be as scale as possible performance will be my last priority. Here are some specs so I don't get pushed to chit chat. Hilux re-make cab 1.9 Flat Irons HPI stock car wheels TLT axles with aluminum knuckles and my own straight axle adapters(wasn't about to spend 30$ on a pair) Home made chassis Custom Pede for transfer 6cell 4000mah battery hidden in my toolbox Custom toolbox Tq3 with receiver mounted on a custom fuel cell Juggy springs out back (Longer springs out back to look like a 63" chevy spring swap on a YOTA) Tundra leafs up front Well enough words as most of us don't even read them  !This is the 1:1 I'm copying the cage of off.  And here are some shots of my progress.        Big thanks to toyofast for all the pictures of the 1:1, and to RPP Hobby for such awesome quantity of parts in stock, great prices and ultra fast shipping! Thanks For Looking!

That sure is a nice truck to follow. I believe that was built by Ben "Unimoger" here on RCC. He is the owner of MSD. Need any more help. Talk to him. Keep it up.  Ryan |

Cool build so far..... I was going to do my steering like that, but was afraid of the leverage that it puts on the steering arm, with it being that tall.... I'll be watching this one.....it's gonna be RAD!!! |

I may have missed this, but what material did you use to build the chassis? And where did you get it from?

Thanks I hope you like how it turns out! Quote:
Well go the transfer mounted and I'm not sure if its gonna stay this way but for now it will. I'm waiting on STANG to start selling the double planetary gear reductions to buy a cold case transfer. For now this will have to do. Pictures:    I'm looking for a GD-600 if you have one pm me. Thanks for looking! Last edited by nitromtcrawler; 12-20-2010 at 01:40 PM. | ||

You are going to get alot of axle wrap with the way your leaf mount to the axle it's like running a lift block. I would mount the leafs right to the axle and redo your body mount to raise the cab alittle higher if you need to.

Its extremely hard to put into words, but I will make another set soon and have a write up on them. All the parts where from the dollar store except for the bearings. They are made mostly from sharpies of different sizes. I promise to make a how to soon! | |
