IBIFTKH 1369 Posted January 23, 2012 That looks very interesting. Is the body completely new or part theirs, part Tamiya? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lawdog 23 Posted January 24, 2012 Wow. That is definitely "scale" and looks rock solid. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
markbt73 5316 Posted January 25, 2012 I like it, but why did they model the exact same truck as Tamiya? Why not do the next-generation Toyota truck (so I could do a model of my '88), or something else entirely? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mobias 0 Posted January 25, 2012 Wow. That is definitely "scale" and looks rock solid. Looks rock solid but is made by RC4WD so isn't rock solid. I can definitely vouch for the nylon punnisher shafts it uses exploding in about the first five minutes of use. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kenny G 258 Posted January 25, 2012 I think this is completely awesome. RC4WD Mojave $399.99 is a little steep, but I am getting one! I love how they left the tailgail free of the embossed 'TOYOTA" badge just like the actual special edition Hilux Mojave they sold in the US. I really like RC4WD scale parts and beadlock wheels. I have used them on a lot of my builds. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Why not do the next-generation Toyota truck (so I could do a model of my '88), or something else entirely? i wouldnt say excact same truck, it has a different front end and possibly a dropped bed, not 100% on the drop bed though although i am with you the hilux with the squarer front arches would be great!

Meakz1973 36 Posted January 25, 2012 wow... this looks incredible at a very good price I think. I don't own anything by RC4WD but I thought the general understanding is that they make high quality parts. Should I be concerned about the quality of this kit? EDIT: Just performed a very disappointing search online about alleged RC4WD quality I understand that if you look hard enough, you'll find anything you want to read online, but I can't abide poor quality parts. I'd like to hold and feel this kit before I buy it! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have the RC4WD Boyer Truggy and am afraid to actually run it . . . . . . . . in fear that it will self destruct. None the less , I will be getting one of these as a second chance for them to prove me wrong . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'd like to hold and feel this kit before I buy it! Their stuff looks great so for a shelf queen its fine, running it though is a different matter. I've heard people say their kits are ok but anything they make which is RTR or semi built should be entirely stripped down and built from scratch again before running. They have lots of metal parts and don't thread lock anything so things shake apart very easily upon first use. What annoys me about them is they seem to have very bad R&D. They'll release something it'll break easily and then they'll announce a new and improved version of it. Why release the duff version in the first place?
