336: RC4WD 87 Hilux & 4Runner Tail Lights!

[@scalecrawlnl]

An AMPRO Engineering lightshow, always fun! Major improvement realized, the new rear lights look very scale and cool. Thank you for, in more ways than one, a good show.

[@AMPROEngineering]

Oh sure thing! I am glad you liked it!

[@fhwolthuis]

This goes way over my head but I very much enjoy watching it 😄👌

[@AMPROEngineering]

Oh im sure it's not! Im glad you liked it.

[@jenshahn1610]

That's what I was really missing on my Xtracab. Many thanks for the engineering and I'm just on my way to Shapeways.

[@AMPROEngineering]

Awesome! Tag me when you have them installed!

[@jakewang243]

always enjoy watching ampro's video!

[@AMPROEngineering]

Thank you so much!

[@wazeFPS]

I don’t even have this truck but I can’t help but appreciate the effort you go through for these small details,

[@AMPROEngineering]

Well thank you so much. It was a great build.

[@jakewang243]

love those refraction, much better than the factory blinding light beam !

[@AMPROEngineering]

Uhg seriously. I had no plan on doing this UNTIL i saw the factory ones installed.

[@SlavaRC]

Very cool and beautiful model, excellent work my friend!)

[@AMPROEngineering]

Thank you very much!

[@jerel6201]

and ordered, can't wait!

[@AMPROEngineering]

Show me when you have it installed!

[@jerel6201]

@@AMPROEngineering Sure thing. Once I get further along I'll be posting a build thread in the SBG Forums. ;)

[@edwardbroyles9738]

As always, I love the thought you put into creating these lighting accessories. As far as putting the glue around the border of the lights, your hands are far more steady than mine. When I've tried something similar, I always smeared it

[@AMPROEngineering]

Thank you. It was the help of the container and the little lip i added. That made it work out.

[@edwardbroyles9738]

@@AMPROEngineering thanks, I'll try to remember about adding some kind of lip. That should help me keep it steady!!

[@millboss1372]

Very clean. Nice work.

[@AMPROEngineering]

Thank you!

[@longtalltexanrc3358]

Excellent exterior upgrade!

[@AMPROEngineering]

Thank you!

[@kinslersrccustoms6945]

This is absolutely amazing fine detailing they look amazing and so scale. I don't have that Toyota body but as soon as I start a new build I will use that body and will get you parts for the tail lights. Thanks again for sharing your videos.

[@AMPROEngineering]

Thank you very much! Glad you liked it!

[@timvanasen6711]

You always make better parts than rtr great design 😉👍

[@AMPROEngineering]

Well thank you. Nothing against RC4WD. They have schedules, price points, MFG and molds to deal with so what they did is good enough for 98% of their customers. It's always the 2%....

[@jaredsayrc4947]

You need to got a redcat 1979 Monte Carlo and do a Tamiya light kit on it

[@AMPROEngineering]

I do need to check that out!

[@DeadnCold]

That is 100 times better.

[@AMPROEngineering]

I sure thought so.

[@strawberrymochiiz]

What light kit are you using that has turn signals, brakes and reverse when you use the transmitter?

[@AMPROEngineering]

Check episode 39. I mention this at 9:30 or so. It's a great kit but you are going to have to find one on ebay as the seller I got it from is not selling it any more.

[@camrowdrone6497]

👍🏻

[@AMPROEngineering]

Thanks!

[@ЗлоеЗло-я1ж]

What car model is it? Is it available? Can I buy one?

[@AMPROEngineering]

This is the RC4WD Trailfinder 2 LWB with the 87 XtraCab body. You can find it here: store.rc4wd.com/rc4wd-trail-finder-2-lwb-with-1987-toyota-xtracab-body-set.html

[@alexwenzel6932]

What type of light controller are you using ?

[@AMPROEngineering]

Check ampro episode 36. There is no name on it but you can get it on ebay. Sellers always change. it is my favorite unit.

[@tferguson3292]

Hello my neighbor gave me a RadioShack black Phantom rc car Without a remote and I need a new one but how would I go about doing that and setting it up?

[@AMPROEngineering]

Well, either try and find an original one or see if anyone knows what radio would work. Often times, these cars reused the same radios from a lot of other brands. Nikko made a lot of these for Radio Shack/Tandy/Traxxas.

[@tferguson3292]

@@AMPROEngineering thanks

[@tferguson3292]

@@AMPROEngineering also could I get a controller with the same frequency and if so how would I go about finding the frequency of the car

[@AMPROEngineering]

@@tferguson3292 There should be a decal somewhere on the car, noting what frequency it is. I think that car was low band (27mHz), between 1-6. I once used an old futaba with a crystal that was the same freq. and got it working.

[@tferguson3292]

@@AMPROEngineering thanks I will look

[@tonberryhunter]

720p isn't high def by the way.
