new build : scx24 hyght rc 4runner

[skurge]

local buddy of mine does test prints and such for hyght rc, it was worked out that i could get a body done as well(paid for of course). anyway, i saw his body and had to have one.

disclaimer, i did not do the paint or body work on the body.

so here's where we start:

body came first, then we start ordering parts, went a different route than all my other scx24's, wanted to have less brass, but still keep the weight low and planted.

this was kind of the look i was shooting for

frame and skid came in first, along with some other parts but here's where i was stuck for a couple days

ogrc lcg frame and flat skid

few more parts showed up:

injora steel links, dkky alum axles, hr 13g front diff cover

now we are making progress!

injora 43mm shocks, ogrc stamped steel wheels, treal 5mm extensions, ogrc brass knuckles, ogrc servo tray, ogrc rear link riser

mocking up the body situation

things started to heat up once i got the body mounted, it was turning out exactly like i imagined

build was finished off with a few more parts:

hr transmission, injora steering link, v2 esc, ogrc steel driveshafts, tusk tires....i feel like i'm forgetting something here.......

in this picture the truck is pretty much done, other than the back of the body not being mounted yet, was still trying to figure out what i was going to do there

at this point it was a running truck. ironically another local buddy of mine had bought and printed the same body for himself, and also designed a rear hinge mount for it, which is how we arrive here

and my hardbody 24th scale toyota crew, well the scx24's anyway

the low stance looks badass and what Toyota fans doesn't love anything with the Iron man Stewart paint scheme. Also, hw did you mount the TF2 body on your other SCX24?

thanks! i saw the body i just had to make it low low. it just fits! and right, who doesn't love old ivan?!?

for the tf24 body i just used velcro, in the stock positions on the body, just made mounts on the chassis for it. eventually i'd like to change it to magnets maybe, but thats down the road, i've been kicking around the idea of building another scxtf24 but wide and low this time, we'll see lol
