r/Rc4wd

I’ve been working on this thing for over 2 years now going back and forth on how to make it work.
I don’t know how to weld or have a welder so it’s all riveted and brazed, don’t judge me. Even tho the bed is aluminum it’s still heavy af. I’m waiting on a brx01 AWB to extend and see if it fits (Hopefully it does and looks good).
It’s around 31 inches in length altogether. And the wheelbase is a monstrous 19 inches. I’m still working on it. When will it be done and ready? I don’t know. But hopefully soon.

This Game has been around for ages, haven’t played in awhile but it looks like it has had some uodates and the details have increased a lot. So i dusted off the RP4P and built a clone of my TF3 build lol. Game is fun for a few hours of mindless bashing and crawling. Wish I could customize it to have no doors like the RC.

Hackfabbed by me. 110mm shocks full spring compression with half a MM to spare on the shock and plenty left for extension, still on stock springs for now.

Hopefully I'll get the rears done tomorrow.

For anyone thinking about doing this, I would highly recommend just buying the lower shock mounts that attach to the axle. They were a pain to make.

As suggested! I love how it looks now! You would think I planned it with how close it is to the body without touching lol

Kind of rushed the assembly but the paint came out decent considering the humidity and constant rain weve had here. I’m happy tho and it’s The color I should’ve done years ago.

Primed and painted. Took some good sanding since it’s the 5th coat of paint lol. Also did the bed lip trick I did with the Hilux body. But the black bed liner kinda hides it so I may paint the inside of the bed yellow too.
I’m color blind so this paint looks the same color as my other trucks… do they really tho? lol

Removed the tube bumper and went with a More stock OEM look. The 4Runner tube bumper got caught up a lot More than I had liked. Added a BRX cross brace for the front and a scale factory looking tow hook. First time ever using one of those lower valance/lip pieces. Shaved it down to be more like the 2WD one. Back to the Smaller scale looking wheels/tires. Aaannnnnnd For my 4th coat of paint… I’m thinking something OEM Toyota metallic again… 🤦🏻‍♂️

Built this guy a few years ago, and of course I had to re-paint it red about 3 weeks before the RTR was announced so now it looks like the RTRs that are everywhere lol.
Nothing special, reversed shackles, Mix of Boom racing BRX01/02, bruiser and Sawback suspension, K44 axles, super scale shafts, 4Runner rear bumper (had to bob bed to fit) 4 runner sliders and front bumper with Winch. Fusion SE brushless. Scale hardware throughout with scale hubs and lugs. Bed and cab are hard mounted separately to be more scale, battery is mounted under hood. Transfer case was moved forward for scale-ness (shorter front shaft) rear shock’s upper mounts are outside the chassis rails to be more scale as well.

J Concepts FYR 4.25 on some steel beadlocks.

I also installed an aftermarket Amazon transfer case which gives me a 20% overdrive in the front axle as well as getting rid of torque twist under throttle because the rear driveshaft now spins in the opposite direction.

I made my own anti wrap bar for the rear axle too.

I need too make a new skid plate or modify the one I made before because the new t case is wider. I still need to make a rear bumper and all 4 shock mounts. It's been too hot to work in the hobby shed so progress has been slow.the truck was down for over a week waiting on parts but I got a great run in today with no issues!

One of my scalers. This one has HW Fusion, Blk Label servo, CCHand & TeraFlex accessories. There’s more, but we’ll look at the other mods in the future.

Just a short clip testing the build.
