1/10 Tacoma scale detail help.

I build it to use and crawl around. It's mounted on a Traxxas TRX4 chassis. I enjoy building it and being able to customize it to make it unique.

 

Well damn. Don't do FB.
Keep us posted on this build.

 

Should I start a build thread??

Do you do Instagram?

 

Yep

 

Manitou designs and prints the bodies. His a super nice guy, and very helpful.

 

Looks very familiar minus the snorkel. Very impressive!

 

No IG. Would just like to see finished product.

 

That's awesome. I have an old Tamiya mountaineer (original from the 90s) that could use a new body. Wonder if this would fit? Would make for a cool crawler since it already has a c channel frame, solid axles, leaf springs and three speed trans. I don't do FB either. How much was it?

The body is designed to be wide enough to fit on 1/10 scale chassis but the wheelbase would have to be extended to 370mm. I believe the body was $230USD

 

I'm actually debating about painting it Cement Gray, Blazing Blue or Barcelona Red and doing a sso slimeline, or honeybadger style front bumper.

 

Your original picture is tripping me out, looks shopped. Awesome work so far - keep us posted on progress. If you end up making a thread or Instagram, edit the OP!

 

I need this in my life. My wife would disagree.

 

this is amazing i cant wait to see the finished product

 

Anyone know an approximate cost to completely build one of these? I know the cost of the body but never built an RC before so have no idea.

Thanks

 

very niece!

 

Probably around 600$

 

Never done this before but want to build a replica of mine. Found longed body but have no idea how to get long chassis complete for it and all the accessories. Lights, wheels, bedrack, roof rack, windows etc. Lol

 

I hope your using the factory colour codes.

 

I would start by visiting your local hobby shop and checking out some of their scale crawlers, use the majority of the parts as a starting point, then probably going to end up making your own frame and mount points.
There are tons of tutorials and how to's floating around YouTube and www.rccrawler.com

 

Of course! I painted my 4Runner build with automotive paint.
