20Tacoma17's Mini-me build 1/9 Scale plus Wide body Overland build and now Mini-Minime.

Did it come with a CMC or do you still have to do that?

 

Didn't have to do it to mine with 275's.

 

Thought you were going to have to put in a RC spacer kit for a minute there...

 

Well I thought I messed up. With those springs I had to preload almost all the way and didn't like it. Just glad it was a simple spring change.

 

Had to remove transfer case and completely disassemble. Forgot to add loctite to the gear set screws. Reinstalled and also installed all 3 driveshafts. Took it out for test drive. 4h has a little speed but not a lot. 4lo is awesome.
Body mounts installed. Front has magnets but you can also bolt it down. Bed is just bolt on which is fine.

 

This is pretty awesome man, good job!

 

Thanks

 

Somebody refer this man to corporate Toyota to be a spokesperson for replica model building or something...or OP submit this build journey you made to Toyota and be all "yeah, I can make one too" haha.

Excellent craftsmanship sir!

 

Well they don't make RC King shocks with remote reservoirs so I'm trying to make my own.

 

King needs to see this. You need tiny King stickers for the back window.

For that matter, you need a tiny TacomaWorld.com sticker for the back window!!

@tcBob, can we make it so?!?

 

King already authorizes companies to put their name on RC shocks which I bought. Just couldn't fine any with remote reservoir.

 

Well its basically done again. All electrical ran along chassis. Body attached and ready for 1st run. Not sure why one of the lights appears yellow in pic

 

That is so cool! You should start selling them I would buy one in a heart beat

 

Here's the first test drives. Just real quick to check out suspension and running gears since its all new. Not very good videos and Im trying to drive and film at the same time. That's the steering control that keeps showing up on the bottom of the screen. will get better videos later.

That’s just down right badass!

besides looking at my lady that just might be the best thing I’ve seen all month. Even more than the plate of bacon I had this morning.

 

Well that's pretty much it for this build. I will post more videos when time allows since the ones above are very poor quality. I did want to give some credit for people helping me get parts for this build.

I had custom scale CNC wheels made to match mine but was asked by company who makes the real wheels not to use their name or company who made them.

All assembly, body work, painting, custom headlights, tail lights, mirrors, electical etc done by myself. Took the entire winter but was my very first time doing anything like this and no experience with RC. Thanks for all the TW members who supported me throughout the entire build.

 

Thanks for this. You did an admirable job on your mini-me truck. Really impressive.

 

Thank you

 

I'm impressed with the finished product but I am extremely impressed by your patience on this project.
I would have broken something, screamed at the ones around me, and probably had several foul things come out of my mouth.
This is such an incredible project. Great Job!

 

Well there nothing saying I didn't do most of those things. I live alone so nobody to scream at but myself.
My first build so lots of redos.

Thanks
