Hey Borneosafari, thanks for the comment. I am aware of quarter elliptical setups on real trucks, but I want to keep the full leaf spring to keep my Mountaineer as close to my 1:1 1981 Toyota as possible. Many people 4-link these but I want to stay true to my roots :) You're High Lift works really really well!!

Thanks. Now I just need to work on the body. Get it repainted to match my '81

Yes, I definitely do not have the ability to "gun it", but its a heavy full metal truck and I choose not to do this by design. The motor I am using is some old used 25-turn motor which has pretty decent RPMs, so it does lurch, lurch, lurch ok, but yes, its top speed is very slow! Thanks for the comment!

wow thats the first 707 crawl ratio truck i have ever seen! true crawler no doubt! are you missing wheel speed in the tough sections?

[@traxxasslash26]

sweet shot man! looks real!

[@Morongotongo123]

Thats how a Hilux Crawl with Marlin Crawler .. which in my opinion .. is the way to do it right !! cause you have More control .. just my opinion.

[@slightdrift]

that is nuts, the whole drive line and suspension looks stock..NOt all fake looking like those radio shack deals

[@Borneosafari]

thanks bro.. long live r/c :) LOL

Not really a "toy"... They're hobby grade RC cars... Quite expensive, though, and the model you see in the video was discontinued in the mid 1990's, I believe... But they do make a similar model- the Tamiya F-350/Hilux High Lift.
