Toyota scaler "clone"

[1BadJeepBruiser]

I started this build because I was inspired by another members scaler on RCC (chino63). Deans Toyota rig was the most scale looking rig that I had scene to date, so I knew had to build my own.

I started with a mint Bruiser frame, and started building up. I used a trans and 4 link mount from Dean, which made the build super easy

I got some turned down TLT-1 shocks from a member of RCCrawler.com and painted them white and added a rancho stickers to them. My friend Kevin Good made the dual shock mounts, as well as the rear shock mount and tlt axle 4 link mount and new custom front body mount.

The body I purchased from another member of RCC. I wanted a realistic looking color and remember seeing a real trail rig Toyota on ebay in Brown, so I painted it walnut brown. I wanted the body to look like it has had some replacement parts installed, so using another members idea, I left the fender in primer and made the hood semi-flat black

I am pretty well known for "custom interiors" and I wanted this one to have the most detail to date. I started with a stock Bruiser interior and started cutting. I dropped the floor down, and made a transmission tunnel. I then carpeted the floor with a thick self adhesive felt. The bench seat also got covered in felt, but a much thinner felt to maintain the details. The dash was cut out and gauges were installed just like a real Hilux. I also made the lower heat duct, as well as the heat ducts in the dash. I also made the lower gauge assembly with the oil and volts gauge. These all light up. I made the glove box latch knob, I carved out the dash and added the heating controls. I made a Sony CD deck with tuning and volume knobs, even a little eject button. I made the column with key cylinder, key lock release, hazard switch, wiper control. Dash has controls for lights, trip reset, and and cigarette lighter. Steering wheel was from a wild willy. Every good trail rig has a CB, so I made one of those too. I then made shifters, I turned down some styrene in a dremel with sand paper until I got the desired shape (just like the real truck) I then added Hurst racing shift knobs. Interior also has the gas, clutch, and brake pedals. I hand made everything from styrene.

Door panels were made with speakers, and window cranks, and the windows have the "rolled down" look to them.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v73/ihaveabruiser/chino%20clone/112_2324.jpg

The wheels are custom 1.9 Bruiser builder wheels with the centers painted black. I also added vintage Kyosho 4runner center caps to hide the wheel nut

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v73/ihaveabruiser/chino%20clone/112_2327.jpg

I custom built rock sliders using solid 3/16 rod and bake line tubing, brazed together myself.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v73/ihaveabruiser/chino%20clone/112_2350.jpg


so the spec thus far are:
Bruiser frame
tlt axles with bearins, front axle shaved for a scaler look, rc4wd rear lock outs
front mounted steering servo using RC4wd mounts
Scale steering stabilizer from a turned down tlt shock
Juggsterr shock mounts

Modded bruiser body, with tool box with accessories, working head lights, tail lights and marker lights
Aluminum Bruiser builder wheels
Narrowed and reduced Imex Clawg dawgs

ETC...ETC.. ETC..

Still to come
License plates

Here is shot of the rear inner fender wells, they are simple, used styrene and box it all up, painted it flat black.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v73/ihaveabruiser/chino%20clone/clone019.jpg

Put my winch hook on too, its one of the wedico ones, I think it looks pretty good. I still have to paint the winch and mount the black control box some how
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v73/ihaveabruiser/chino%20clone/clone022.jpg

I have also been trying to think of cool things to have in the bed and tool box. In the tool box I have a MSD tow strap, my skate board :P, 2 shovels, an extra drive shaft assembly and 2 flash lights. I am going to make a wild willy NOS tank into a power tank very soon and mount that in the bed, I got to make the grab hand and stuff 1st. I also am going to mount the high lift jack in the bed as I think on top of the box was silly since its heavy and would be a bitch to lift the lid :roll: I also have some coolers too to put in.

[1BadJeepBruiser]

I finished up the details on my power tank, its a wild willy bottle of NOS, painted yellow, with the handle installed and an air line. All it really needs is a lil "powertanks" sticker.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v73/ihaveabruiser/chino%20clone/100_2741.jpg

I also took a friends suggestions and mounted the high lift to the side of the bed

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v73/ihaveabruiser/chino%20clone/100_2742.jpg

I also decided to mount some coolers, they hide the area well where the body mounts are. I am going to install some small little tie downs in the bed rails where there are already holes and add 2 more at the ends. So I can make some small straps and actually strap them in. I also added a little antenna on my box stock clod buster in the back.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v73/ihaveabruiser/chino%20clone/100_2739.jpg

I also added some cool logos from Stefan @ scaleoffroad.com

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v73/ihaveabruiser/chino%20clone/100_2745.jpg

I finally painted and mounted the control box as well for the winch

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v73/ihaveabruiser/chino%20clone/100_2747.jpg

The red HL shocks have to go...I am hoping to get my anodized black ones soon. I also need to order some of the diamond plate from wedico to make a skid plate for my fuel cell underneath.

Thats it for now... I think this thing is *almost* done...

Awesome! What a great looking crawler. Its when I see crawlers up to this standard that I want to buy one :D Good Job!!

If anyone is ever looking for a great example of a scale build, this is it.

Great job.

[1BadJeepBruiser]

Thanks for all the props guys, I recently took it out the "THE ROCK" and tested out the new rc4wd scale shocks

You ready to box that thing up and ship it to me? :D

[1BadJeepBruiser]

You ready to box that thing up and ship it to me? :D

you can borrow it at moab ;)

Been working on the clone like crazy, getting it ready for Moab. my D rings came yesterday from my friend Kevin Good so I wire wheeled the bumpers and hit up home depot for some 3/16 square stock. Came home and brazed on some mounts and repainted the bumpers.

Dont mind the winch, its not mounted yet.

I also took off the rear 4 link bars and 4 link axle mount and painted all that stuff black

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v73/ihaveabruiser/chino%20clone/100_2972.jpg

Interior is officially DONE, I am not taking it back out EVER :mad: Its a total PIA with the door panels and what not. The arm rests are in, new factory toyota speakers with emblems on them from scaleoffroad. There is also a headliner with a dome light and a rear view mirror as well.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v73/ihaveabruiser/chino%20clone/100_2973.jpg
I am also trying out some MSD beadlocks, they are really really nice and hold the bead great... I am just not sure if they will stay as I think a beadlock on this truck is overkill, but since Its going to MOAB I dont want my tires falling off the rims every 2 seconds.

I'll let you borrow it at Moab as well. :D

I found a link to your build up on another forum. Just wanted to say awesome job, detail is great:D Seeing this sort of thing is making me get back in to RC. I hope my real '81 works as well as yours!

Robb where did you see it on? I see you say you have a real hilux, did you see a post on pirate about it? I think someone had a post there with a link going to scale 4x4

Got any pics of your rig? post em up! I am a fan of real yotas too. I have a 97 taco on 35s :cool:

This truck is now officially done... I just need to get some new tire CA to glue them to the wheels :D

[master_of_desaster]

wow mike awesome job man! you like the new tires? they look the scale part!:D great video by the way! you see there are some pretty killer crawling places around you! haha:eek: well if you ever [I]ever[I] do make a few mods to the truck let us know!!

[T-maxxman1]

I showed your truck to my wife, and I still can't convince her that it's an RC. Nice job Mike. I've built some awsome models cars over the years, then got bit by the T-maxx bug. maybe I should combine the hobbies like you have. Have fun.

[18mt_basher23]

aw man!! The things i'd do for that truck.... can I have it??!!!? You got a price idea?

hows this truck doing?

[dezertrat94]

Where would you guys start if you were building a scaler?

[master_of_desaster]

Where would you guys start if you were building a scaler?

mosty deffinitley chassis. a cc-01 tourage or a hi-lift chassis is the way to go. tcs has a x-trail chssis for the scorpion

http://www.tcscrawlers.com/TCS-X-Trail-Scale-Chassis-for-the-Axial-AX10-Scorpion-p-16556.html

this is a great way to get into it! but i would then start lookin into a good hard body. then shocks and and wheels and tires. uhh then lil accesory's like fire extinguishers and tool boxes and such! mike here has a ton of good ideas and i would also lead you to jason carter "aka" jasonC and rccrawler.com as well. tons of insight can be found there!:)

[dezertrat94]

Now comes the tough question: how much dough do i have to put in to get a halfway (or all-the-way) decent scaler? I am on a semi-tight budget.

dezertrat

[master_of_desaster]

well most guys make there own scale accesories with stuff around the house...the only stuff youll need to pay for is the actual truck, tires and wheels, electronics, and a motor and esc. then you can be as creative as you want. it can be as cheap as you want or as expensive. as long as you got inginuity and a good imagination you'll be fine!

[FullFingerThrottleCMO]

I like the truck, and this last pic can really make you look twice as it looks real.

My thoughts EXACTLY

[t-maxx34]

where can i get a hard body like that?

[Maxx man]

thats crazy
:eek:

[Taylor]

i know this will sound stupid but is your truck waterproofed? and it is about the best looking scaler i have ever seen!!!!!:cool::D:eek:

[master_of_desaster]

that aint stupid, just a question. just fyi

[stan]

that truck is bad a^%, what happened to the "RC TRUCK" that was in the bed a couple pages back?

[LSXEric]

I think u should put the miniture jackstands (from pg 1) should go in the bed of the truck. Looks awsome. Love the vid.:cool:

Very sweet real yotas, would love to have the real deal but they dont exist here on LI...if I do see them they are typically rust buckets :(

This truck has gone through a bunch of changes, it now sports Bruiser axles using Rummy 12mm adapter parts, a new front bumper, new beadlock wheels, trail doc tires, fully leaf sprung, scale off road snorkel, new front bumper, rouge elements limited edition warn hubs and I am sure some other stuff that I am forgetting
