[@nwhuckin7761]

Thanks guys, great looking truck, nice job! That transfer case is spot on, just ordered one myself.

[@RCCrawlerWorkbench]

Very nice build Dana. Big Thumbsup #tinytrucks

[@codykingkobra2895]

Absolutely awesome!!!! Inspired to get some work done on my "tiny truck". Great job fellas!!!

[@ericforget9001]

Amazing job Dana look forward to picking up all your accessories on the trail this year lol.

[@mudspencer4939]

WOW. Very nice looking Rig! Love it

[@thomasjump1316]

awesome looking truck I have the axial jeep wrangler and I love crawling it's so much fun I'm in Florida to hope to see that truck in person some time

[@danalloyd5619]

Awesome Job!! Make sure you bring it and your Blazer along with you for the May adventure run in Owen Sound. One of the three trails is geared towards super scale trucks.

[@slopedope9056]

Amazing truck , beautiful work

[@TomsRCScalers]

You guys are really crazy!! 😀 This rig is epic 👍. One tiny thing which is not yet true scale and you may do is to hide/close the holes for the body mounting screws and find another way to hold the bodyshell in place.

[@Matteomeier]

Awesome, absolutely awesome, guys!

[@devingregory4450]

Nice Hilux man!! great job

[@mikeg2159]

Got any body off shots? So this is the new leaf chassis sweet? Will there be mounts made for the new r4 trans and gcm t case? Thanks

[@cc301]

awesome rig 👍👍👍thumbs up

[@BushmanofYukon]

Outstanding! Great vid guys :o)

[@reynaldobnn]

Great work, guys!!! I have a question: How do you make the tires and wheels get more inside the body, looking more scale? Thanks!

[@GCMRacing1]

+reynaldobabalu careful choice of narrow axles, and narrow offset rims, and thin tires.

[@GregB1965]

That is an absolutely amazing Hilux but '81 was the last year with round headlights.

[@michaelthomas3262]

What a awesome build 👍🏻

[@RenoLaringo]

This rig looks fantastic ! Now, how is it goin with Rc4wd? I've read so much bad experiences about them.

[@GCMRacing1]

There's a bad rap for them from the OLD stuff. Most of their stuff from the last few years has been some good trucks. Always ready to embrace a good RC4wd tire or body!

[@RenoLaringo]

@@GCMRacing1 Thank you for the reply. I really do like their scale trucks (especially the TF2), but I am very hesitant as to take my first step with them... Is that to say there is no more issue with delivery terms, parts availability and overall fitting of their kits? Have a good one buddy and thanks so much for the input !

[@GCMRacing1]

When the Marlin came out, I jumped all over that and really enjoyed the truck. Many love those. They are well done, in comparison to the normal TF2 there's some updates here and there. I would say do that marlin, and then do some of the shock mods (improve shocks) and the BowHouse RC center skid plate (plastic) or the A+M steel center skid, and then run it for a while. The motor/ESC isn't totally amazing, but works for the time being, and in any case, the Marlin is a great place to start with RC4wd!

[@RenoLaringo]

@@GCMRacing1 I take your word ! My second choice was the trx4, but I really dig that "scale" aspect with leaf springs, etc on the Marlin/Tf2's... (was also considering the gmade jeep). I definitely prefer "scale" over overall crawling perf. I will do that! Thanks soo much mate, you helped me make my final decision ! Have a great one over there ! Greetings and hugs from Belgium!

[@thomashogarth4733]

Great video

[@GeneralHobbies]

[@keithrx3c]

I'm considering getting A Bruiser or a Mountain rider, what's the best radio/servo's for them?

[@RcNerds]

Awsome bulid, where can I get those mirrors (toyota)??

[@GCMRacing1]

+Rc Nerds I think those are original tamiya hilux mirrors.

[@steliannistor1878]

Beautiful truck .

[@blzr2bull]

Can you guys provide the link to buy these accessories? Do you guys run the gcm store? What is the website?

[@EnzosToyRoom]

It would be nice if you have more close up video of the truck, so we can better appreciate more of the detail.

[@ruskalmitchell3846]

do you guys know if using external caps on an esc is the same as the internal ones, I think mine are burnt so I wanted to use externals im just not sure if they are hooked up to the same things I cant find any help at all on this topic no videos on how to replace existing caps or anything like that

[@sergioenriquez4419]

sweet tf2 iam build one , I see if you can do a video on how to wire the hey OK control for the ligths. sweet build.

[@jacobhendrickson8935]

all I have to say is Wow dana just flat out wow..the toyota pickup was, is, and will always be my favorite 4x4 pickup...I prefer the 89-94 model for my daily driver but dont own one at this moment..but im on the prowl..you lock up one of these on the trails and they will go places other trucks will not go..
