I just love those pictures! Amazing work done! I have a Nissan Hardbody (1980's) truck, with a car body on it now, and my wife drives a BigBear for her R/C vehicle. We have a blast running them around all the time!
Is there a place where you found the design for your toy(ota) and copied it, or is all scratch built? It looks scratch built, but I have to ask!
I attempted to check that webpage that you linked, but could not gain access to it, recieved a "permission denied"
what kit was it? is kind of looks like the old tamiya bruiser, but not quite. it looks very realistic. are those leaf springs on the pic with a yellow cab?
yes it is a Tamiya Mountaineer. came couple years after the bruiser, and yes they are leaf springs in 1st and 3rd pics, these fuzzy ones are with my 3/4 elliptical suspension on it, since added lift blocks to it too....
here are the newest of pics http://albums.photopoint.com/j/AlbumIndex?u=102574&a=5554869
very nice! the mechanical details are great! i never knew tamiya made a kit with real leaf springs. then you go and do a 3/4 eliptical. WOW! tamiya has always made very nicly detailed kits.
it is a stock motor for now. they have more torque than any other i have tried. it ie just for crawling around or over stuff in my way
the buggy leaf setup was all made up by me
Right on that is a sweet model! /wwwthreads_images/icons/smile.gif hey where can i get one like that? While your at it, ask marlin crawler to build you a mini dual transfer case! /wwwthreads_images/icons/laugh.gif

Too cool, I havent seen one of those since college days ( many a moon ago) . Tamiya used to make one, I believe it was called "hog Heaven" it came with a real shifting tranny, and everything on a real Toyota was copied in miniature. I always wanted one. Really a neat R/C Truck.
Attention all aircraft, previous controller no longer a factor
yeha hog heaven was the logo on the side of the truck but it was the bruiser you are refering too!!
