Geared Up for Success
This rip-roaring R/C model assembly kit recreates the Toyota Hilux, a pick-up truck which has enjoyed enduring popularity in the U.S., Japan and beyond. The model employs a ladder frame like that on the actual car, and is powered by a 3-speed transmission that offers 4WD (1st gear) and 2WD (2nd and 3rd gears) and allows gear changing while running. The realism doesn't stop there, with the sturdy suspension featuring metal axle housings, leaf springs and shackles, while the rear setup is fitted with a radius rod. A metal front under guard helps the model take on tough off-road conditions. The detailed and durable injection-molded body with roll bar is married to metal-plated wheels on 123mm diameter tires to give the model a stylish, high-lift appearance.
This is a special re-release of the popular Mountaineer R/C kit, under a new name. The re-vamped 4x4 chassis is the same as the reliable unit used in the 2012 re-release of the Toyota Bruiser (RN36).
The Toyota 4x4 Pick-Up Mountain Rider features a realistic 3 speed transmission and a solid axle leaf spring suspension. The original layout of the Mountaineer chassis has been kept while modern improvements have been discretely incorporated to bring added fun and function.
