I have been able to buy a Hilux body that was from the same owner as the YJ, and since I have something else on the way home, I have not taken a Modelex chassis for this one, but rather one with leaf springs, a trailfinder of course hehehehehe I will put that on As always I thought and I will remove what I don't like and what's left over hehehehe
This is the car that has arrived
And here we have the sister bodysuit of the YJ
And without great efforts, just as I had planned, the axles above the leaf springs but turned around, not as I had them, I removed the two-speed box and the transfer with that protruding belly and I put in an hpi with a central transfer in the purest rcmodelex style , all the weight will be lower and the flat belly should come as standard with this car, 2300 combo and mob servo
And here with his brother ready for action
Toyota Hilux SUB-Zero

Re: Toyota Hilux SUB-Zero

Re: Toyota Hilux SUB-Zero
Going to make some changes to the Hilux, I have never liked or been convinced by the Yota axles, much less the 1, so seeing that they are not sold, let's see how they turn out.
It will go with tires with less offset and 108 tires, not 100 tires with the new height, but there are adjusting everything...
I already have the first sheet metal support made, I have made this the first one since with the differential it was the most complicated and demanding in terms of measurements, now I will make a mirror for the right side so that I can mark the height and I will make the rear ones in metal I made them first in nylon to see how it looked and to do tests with the tread width, so that it wouldn't look like the photos, of course.

Re: Toyota Hilux SUB-Zero
Yesterday I just assembled and tested and it can't be, it is very very high at the front and I can't go down any further since the differential doesn't allow it and if I put the leaf spring below the axle, the third link support hits the chassis rails, so play links in front and leaf spring in back
Here you need to adjust the back, but in the front that will be the final height

Re: Toyota Hilux SUB-Zero
You might be able to drop the body on the chassis. As I can see your bed has still a lot of room to drop.FREEDOM83 schreef: ↑17 jan 2024 08:59

I had a similar issue:
And just dropped it by designing some new body mounts:
See https://rccrawlerscalergroep.nl/viewtop ... =20#p43989 how I solved it.

Re: Toyota Hilux SUB-Zero
I already thought about it, resting the body on the chassis, that's how I have mounted on others, but in this chassis, the lipo doesn't fit if I do that with the interior and the hpi in frontPatrick schreef: ↑17 jan 2024 14:25

Re: Toyota Hilux SUB-Zero
Ah yes. With my current project I decided to go the same route as with my old LC70.
The battery slided into the body behind that chest. The battery slided to the front and downward as far as it could go.
Sat against the chairs and partially lower than the chairs.

Re: Toyota Hilux SUB-Zero
In the end it will go with links at the front and leaf springs at the back, I will be able to have a lower height, so it will also stay with the 100mm wheels
I have finally managed to adjust it at the front... in the end 100 tires hehehehe, let's see if in the next few days I finish with the rear part and put the winch on the bumper, in addition to probably putting some smaller headlights on the bumper
