Popular Post toyolien Posted December 12, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted December 12, 2021 (edited) Welcome to the reluctant sale of my beautiful custom built Hilux Flatbed. It was fully built using my own choice of custom parts. The build thread can be found here (note: some things have changed since the build. See specs below): https://www.msuk-forum.co.uk/forums/topic/227885-just-a-tf2-hilux-flatbed/ Here's a quick run down of the specs: RC4WD TF2 Chassis with Gelande 2 front hoops Bowhouse RC Skid RC4WD Yota 2 axles with hardened gears & Ballistic Fabrications diff covers with scale hardware. GCM Racing scale transmission with 8% overdrive with custom brazed mounts Gmade scale steel drive shafts Custom fabricated interior. Cubby box houses the HW 1080 esc RC4WD bucket seats and harnesses Custom brazed front winch bumper Custom brazed steel sliders Custom brazed steel flatbed/roll bar Custom built rear battery box, sunken into the bed RC4WD Hi-Lft jack included Fully working RC4WD Warn winch, and winch controller Working front led lights with a custom made light switch (works off 3rd or 4th channel) RC4WD 1.7” steel wheels with Yota hub, scale hardware, and disc rotors RC4WD Goodyear Wrangler 1.7” with custom foams, and weights RC4WD Bilstein shocks Soft rear red leafs. RC4WD rear shackle relocation kit RC4WD front shackle relocation kit Custom brazed rear anti-wrap bar (stops the rear leafs folding same as on 1:1 leaf trucks) Includes the following electrics: 2x Turnigy 3s Lipos suitable for the rear bed mount Holmes Hobbies 35t Torquemaster Pro motor HW 1080 esc Hitec 7955tg hi-torque metal gear servo RC4WD Warn winch RC4WD winch controller (works off 3rd or 4th channel) YOU WILL NEED to supply your own suitable 3 or 4 channel radio (needs to have a 3 position 3rd channel for the winch, and a 4th channel for the led's), and a suitable receiver Now the difficult part. The price. Adding this all up is well over £1200, and that in no way included the hundreds of hours in fabrication time, brazing rods, steel tube, etch primer, paint etc etc... So, seeing that a bog standard RC4WD Mojave RTR is £560, I'd be happy to clear £750 NOW £699 for all this. I'd rather have this collected but can post if absolutely necessary.

Greenough Posted December 13, 2021 Share Posted December 13, 2021 If I hadn't just ordered some new ones to mess with I'd be all over this. You don't muck about building good stuff - I still have the trailking I had off you and is still my go to trail truck ( not as mint any more tho ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toyolien Posted March 4, 2022 Author Share Posted March 4, 2022 Happy to accept sensible offers now, before I end up eBaying it! Would also consider selling without electrics, however, the ESC fits neatly into the centre console box. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
