All day homie. My first rig was an ‘84 Yota pickup, had an ‘87 Runner for about a month, and my brother has a built ‘86 4Runner.

[@DoubleClutchProductions]

Yota power, I got so.e memories in old yotas too. Right on bro 🤙😎

[@scalebuildersguild]

Fantastic job! Really like seeing more of these Pre-Runner's being built! Hopefully some of the manufacturers jump on board!

[@DoubleClutchProductions]

Right on, just chasing my passion. I would really like to collaborate with a Manufacture to make these a reality. 🤙😎 these are the most satisfying to create because of the massive effect on performance these mods do to a stock crawler.

[@ExtremeRC4x4]

Great video! I love to see all the work that has gone into the entire setup. I do phase my driveshafts but it only seems to make a difference at extreme angles. The KC lights look fantastic.

[@DoubleClutchProductions]

Another great product Ethan, 👌 hope this inspires others to go check out Extreme RC 4x4

[@Glockoma94]

Picked up a trail runner hoping to do this kind of build but noticed that @ExtremeRC4x4 stoped making the trailing arm kit. Are there any other options that would work?

[@DoubleClutchProductions]

Yes and no lol, I'm working on getting these back to the market either on my own or with the help of Ethan? Remind me if you don't hear back.

[@JonnyJetson754]

Dude this is factory prepped holy crap nice work brother

[@DoubleClutchProductions]

Trying to make these so the normal RC enthusiast can swoop this stuff and follow along, the more custom you go the harder is for others to follow along if that makes sense. Glad you enjoyed the build

[@DoubleClutchProductions]

Sick, the rock rey and Baja reys use the same driveline, never busted a stock baja rock rey shaft yet! 🤙😎

[@hotheadedfilmshhf6734]

@@DoubleClutchProductions yeah they are tough i bought it as a spare and so far never needed it for the losi😂

[@hotheadedfilmshhf6734]

@@DoubleClutchProductions great vid btw!

[@DoubleClutchProductions]

Right... 👍😎

[@TitaniumDesigns]

Awesome build! So much cleaner that my Frankenstein bolted together prerunner build. We need more running video! As for phasing the driveshafts, I think it would be good practice as it prevents the wheels from constantly accelerating and decelerating when the driveshaft isn’t running parallel. I used slash driveshafts on my build and they’re permanently phased due to the design, but on my crawler I can notice a slight difference in wheel speed. Probably not a huge deal at this scale though

[@DoubleClutchProductions]

Have you seen the Jeep and bronco running videos? Good info on the phasing

[@44-Offroad]

Piñon angle adjustment would help alleviate the driveline issues you’re having. I noticed at full droop it’s really bad. Your upper links could be adjusted to fix the angle of the rear axle.

[@DoubleClutchProductions]

I disagree, the driveline angle was never an issue, the only reason I upgraded the driveline is because they wouldn't hold the pins in and I would loose them. The axles themselves are not designed to hold power, far outside of my application upgrading to the baja rey was a must. If you adjust the upper links your effectively adjusting anti squat and its dialed right where it's at. 👍😎

[@DoRC]

Looks good though I generally think of prerunners as 2wd.

[@DoubleClutchProductions]

Generally speaking a prerunner can be any vehicle, personal preference though, my favorite 4runner prerunner in RL is a 4x4 🤙this is why I did my Toyota xtra cab rc prerunner 2wd 👍

[@MRBRUSHLESS]

Wow very impressive build!! Killer overview on the build great job thumbs up 👍

[@DoubleClutchProductions]

🤙😎

[@JeepBro]

Great video! Just wondering if I should get the Tacoma or the 4runner body to make a prerunner build? Looking to switch the body out possibly for the Proline Silverado body later down the road. Or I'll 3d print my own hard body for it.

[@DoubleClutchProductions]

Thanks for watching. Only real difference is the wheelbase I believe. Either would make a great base

[@rustysglass]

Awesome truck man!!! ever thought about using rock pirate shock tower's for the rear???

[@DoubleClutchProductions]

I have checked them out super quality, the only issue is I would still have to use a shock key to get the placement because I might be the only dude using this size shock on crawlers, One of the keys of using a gatekeeper shock tower is the chassis brace that comes with it that is actually the front battery mount so I get some cross frame bracing for free with the gatekeeper towers

[@iandolmseth]

I'm so jealous i wish i could do this but don't have the time money and skill. Awesome work this would be a dream rc car.

[@DoubleClutchProductions]

I fully understand time and money, skill wise anything is possible if you have passion. Stay tuned, we will be giving one of these away in the near future

[@iandolmseth]

@DoubleClutchProductions that sounds awesome I'm thinking about maybe building one with your kit and using the enduro trailrunner

[@DoubleClutchProductions]

@iandolmseth Trailrunner is a good deal right now on Amain hobbies $299. I got you covered for the parts

[@iandolmseth]

@DoubleClutchProductions I don't even know what to say right now. That would be awesome thank you very much I'm going to get the car when I head home tonight.

[@DoubleClutchProductions]

[@demoths]

Sheeeit, I've been wanting to toss trailing arms into my Trailrunner, this looks incredible

[@DoubleClutchProductions]

It's a cool setup, all the links to parts in the description thanks for watching

[@demoths]

@@DoubleClutchProductions sweet! Is that all the stock control arms and whatnot (except the shock and sprint obv.) in the front? Also, definitely keep your driveshafts in phase, it really makes a difference. Maybe less at higher speeds, but it's very noticeable when crawling

[@DoubleClutchProductions]

Yup all stock IFS up front.... good info on the phase good thing this doesn't crawl anymore lol

[@demoths]

@@DoubleClutchProductions fair enough 😂 I also wonder if the knightrunner would be a bit more stable, what with the longer wheelbase. Are you running fully locked diffs still?

[@DoubleClutchProductions]

I don't know if wheelbase translates to stability?🤔 Yes still on the Element front diff both are lockers. Would love to see an Element compatible open diff for the IFS🤙😎

[@Bikes_N_Adventure]

Stoked to see her shredding!!

[@DoubleClutchProductions]

Can't wait to rip it, check out the Jeep and Bronco prerunner videos to hold ya over🤙😎

[@nrvous309]

So after watching all your videos, I've decided to modify my Element Knightrunner with the IFS. In your opinion, should I delete the front axle and run it RWD or switch out the IFS for a solid axle?

[@DoubleClutchProductions]

Ha thanks for watching buddy. The 2wd makes these challenging to control but the 2wd corners way better because it's got no diff but I would stick to the IFS for prerunner builds, it works good for what it is. The 4x4 on this 4runner in loose dirt or sand does really good too. I would leave it 4x4 and leave the IFS and run it for a bit. After you run it 4x4 you can dabble with rwd and see what you like best 👍

[@AFellowDoktuh]

Idea for pickup bodies. Could try to make a setup to disguise the battery as a gas tank.

[@Rex_Stuph]

I always phase my u/j's. So.. Did I just learn that the Element and SCX10.2 ring and pinions are the same ratio?

[@DoubleClutchProductions]

Right on, no I don't think they are the same ratio but the Axial should provide a taller gear ratio than the Element and is a beefier cut of gear.

[@Rex_Stuph]

@@DoubleClutchProductions Sorry if i missed something, but so you're overdriving the rear? Or did you get a Axial final drive into the front?

[@DoubleClutchProductions]

The transmission is no overdrive. The front diff is the stock gearing and the rear is on Axial scx10 ii rear ring and pinion. I believe your correct about the rear being overdriven but I'd have to calculate how much. 🤔

[@Rex_Stuph]

@@DoubleClutchProductions No worries :) Just for a moment I thought there might of been a happy coincident 😄 Two brands wouldn't intentionally standardise such things us peeps who like to mix and match. Absolutely love your builds, btw

It doesn't need to be perfect, if your paper template needs adjusting just retrace it and do it again. It will start to make sense after a few different templates, you can kinda see I was doing the same thing in the video, improvising and adapting it to fit better.

Good morning, sorry to bother you again lol I was bored this weekend to I decided to get my shocks and everything ready to I just temporarily build the car back up with your trailing arm conversation plates I just moved them back to make the wheelbase longer, all the holes don’t line up, I just did this temporary to get my shocks and stuff ready for when I get your chassis rails. But I Running the knight runner body for now untill I find another truck body. I’m using 25w oil and the green spring on the proline powerstroke shocks. I think I need more weight in the rear cause it seems like it’s still sitting way to high in the rear, I’m going to see if I can drill new hole and get the battery tray lower and add somthing else to for weight. Just wondering if you had any suggestions on getting the truck to sag lower. Also I’d really like to keep using a truck body.

[@DoubleClutchProductions]

Any way for you to send some pictures on Instagram? The shock angle has a,lot to do with spring rates. If your not on the normal mounting location it could change the angle/digression of the shock. The battery tray by design is higher than people like but it's effecting the cg height and anti squat, moving the battery lower in my testing was not a upgrade geometry wise contrary to what we all would think. It needs a battery mounted to achieve ride height. The proline kit comes with yellow springs. Make sure your springs are both the green ones. Without pictures I can't give much more advise 👊😎
