Nice 1 ...

Looks like you need to fit a dif lock judging by the end of the video

Or bigger tyres, 35s should do ... milimetres that is

Awesome! I have one of these too... I have just built it yet... need paint it black first though!

I love how the cartoon pic on the front of teh box with its oversized wheels is pretty much the proportions of my actual truck

Tamiya also do a 2nd gen monster truck one that is a similar size.

Cool.
It can even go through puddles that can kill a lifted 1st gen!

Sounds like a mini Lexurf

Awesome I have need seen the sound kit in action, I didn't realise they shook too!

I like the "Hilux High lift"



The old ones were pretty cool, all metal parts, leaf springs etc, and a working3 speed gearbox, they didn't look as good but they were nice from an engineering side, if that makes sense...

I've got the CC01 Landcruiser but yes that one with either the tundra or hilux body is a beast.....

Freakin' awesome!

Good controll on a jump for an R/C car, looks even better with the car being "weathered"

[BUSHWHACKER]

If you watch closely as the car hits the ramp, the suspension compresses right down, the same when it lands. Just like those Baja racers. A bet lot of trial and error time was spent on that model getting the spring rate perfect to react like a full size car.

I finally got around to doing mine!

It would be nice if these were more readily available........
