This video still amazes me a year later... And helped me make the plunge into building an RC car again. 10 years out of the hobby. and i'm already plunging into the deep end.
I've probably built about a dozen RC kits in my life and I am rarely impressed by someone else's work but this build is something like I've never see. I aspire to be able to build kits at half the level of this man. Very impressive.
Man. It’s not just your artistic talent and creativity with these builds. Everything about this video is a masterpiece. Watching your videos makes me feel calm and content in a way I can’t describe. Thank you.
That's the greatest rc build I've seen ever. The best part was, no deflections in any of the wheels/tires when it was rolling. That rc must drive like a dream! Well done and inspiring as well. I have an older scx10 II. Now I'm gonna build me a III.
@@MechanicAfterHours your video shows you picking the hardwares out of small boxes. Are those separate from the actual kit? I have never built any RC just always just gotten RTR's, but you made it look so professional. I have picked up so many techniques from just watching you!
Thanks! The kit comes with the proper screws but I didn't use them as I have some stainless ones that I decided to use instead. This build has a number of aftermarket mods (gears and parts). But, I always put the parts in labeled plastic containers-just makes it more organized and faster at least for myself. Good luck if you ever build a kit, just take your time!
I've just been getting into the RC world and blown away by everyone's details and dedication. This was a great build and that was definitely the right vehicle to choose. Your really great like everyone has started. I'll be watching more, keep up the great work.
What an amazing build and video. I've built this 10.3 also and yours seems so much better lol. Since watching your videos my builds and build areas have been more organized. You're very inspiring
Incredible. I absolutely love this generation of the 4Runner, and you have done it justice for sure! I am slowly getting to the end of the catalog of your videos, and almost sad. Looking forward to more. Cheers
Thanks, retro | reborn! I appreciate the kind feedback and support! Sorry, I haven't had a video lately, things just got quite busy outside of the hobby. But I'm finishing up one build and it should be up in a week. And still have a fair number to build. Stay tuned!
love this build. I was inspired to make one and I just finished it with my own twist. sent you some photos on messenger. thanks for the great work and videos.
TAKE MY MONEY!!! hahaha Superb job! Please do more crawler builds, the fit and finish is just superb. You can really tell that you enjoy it by going that extra mile.
Thanks, Christian! I appreciate the feedback and nice words. Maybe one day I will build another. If only I had the terrain for it. But the excuse is it takes too much space haha
Great build and an amazing video. Like the touches like adding a few comments and photos at the end. I know those red and carbon wheeler were a bear, but they sure do set off the look. Thank you for creating and sharing this content. Thumbs up!
Thanks, Jeff! Thank you for watching and I appreciate the nice words. Yes, those wheels were a tad tedious but you're right, and it was worth it in the end.
i try to build the same ;) for now i've just finished the frame and 3D printing some parts to adapt the body with the original system of the scx. Painting is my next step! Congrats and thanks for the idea!!
Great piece of art and craftsmanship. I love Toyota also, so I can appreciate that for sure. Those red and black rims are by far the best looking also. Not even close. With the krawler ka to match its perfect. More crawlers please!!!!! Trx4 next in a Tacoma 4th gen body. (3d printed). Would be amazing! Keep up the great work.
Amazing job, man... those brass pieces are beautiful. I got myself the same ESC for a build, can't wait to put it to use. Waiting for the parts... thanks for sharing your passion!
For "not being a painter" you did an excellent job! Last few bodies I did for my Tekno MT410, I kept it basic with just two colours an stickers to make the process much faster. On the Tekno, you go through bodies faster than gas guys go through nitro, I swear! lol
Hi! What a wonderfull artwork! You are unbelievable... Your RC - Cars, your drive - videos, the manufacturing - videos... ALL it is awesome! Three Cheers! Hats off! Thumbs up! 😎 😉 😁 👍
@@MechanicAfterHours Hi Mister! Go forward with your handycrafts! This awesome Landcruiser is an masterpiece in RC... It is, what is is... A Homage of an japanese Car Icon... The LANDCRUISER, especially this type with this ENGINE, IT IS Toyota's greatest draft for me... "One Toyota in a ocean of Jeep's"... I'm a Toyota - Fan since more than 30years... A Toyota has NEVER let me down!!! I turn the key and think: "This is a piece of Japan" ... EVERY DAY! A wish from me to AXIAL: an SCX10III Toyota Landcruiser RTR... 😉
Just a thought. Not sure if you do patreon, but you could release video of entire build at normal speed for higher tiers. I bet a lot of people would like to see some of the steps at normal speed so they could learn from you. Your work is amazing.
Thanks, JFK's Guns! And thank you for watching and suggestion. I did think about it but maybe one day-it's a lot of work to do two sets of videos and manage multiple account but will keep it mind.
Hi Mechanic After Dark. This is a very inspiring build. The finished product is absolutely stunning. The details are a work of art. Always like to read your Description and motivations behind the builds. Plus your gloves are cool 😎. Take care!
Thanks, 3T-RC! I appreciate it and glad someone still reads the video description! I never know. It was the gloves that got me the gig haha. Hope all is well!
Nothing crawls like a Toyota with a SAS, ha. Nice build. The baja bronco body has been teased, looks pretty awesome. I like the play on the old Toyota paint scheme
most professional build i've seen... organization, tools,etc... i wpuld like to know what brand your mini power screw drivers are... nicely done.. enjoyed the entire video...
this build was such an absolute pleasure to watch! i love the detail you put into this build. the colors all flow together perfectly and the finished look blew me away. i very much like the rear window panels, did you make them or did you find them somewhere? cheers and looking forward to more crawler builds from you!
That's a really good build right there bro. Tidy workspace, tidy build and the best is you replied to every comment in here! Keeep it coming! New subscriber here \m/
Stumbled on your channel looking for Tamiya Avante build ideas before I start mine. Fantastic channel. Have you or will you do a video highlighting all the tools, fluids, etc you use? I see a lot of interesting items. Im really enjoying the builds you’ve done.
Use red and green WISS aviation snips on the lexan bodies and you wont have to cut it into pieces. Works like a hot knife through butter. I used to do the same struggle as you until I found out about the Wiss technique. Nice build my man. KUTGW. Cheers from CDA
Thanks, Para Scale Models! And thanks for the advice on using those WISS aviation snips. I do have WISS snips and another that's like the aviation ones but eventually found the score and snap method easier, at least with the way I do it. I'd love to watch a video of someone demonstrating/using the WISS aviation snips on lexan RC bodies, especially intricate ones. How do you manage the deep curves and details with those snips? They seem rather large?
Great build!!! Love how the paint job came out, It looks awesome. I have my second 4Runner body i have to paint. The first body came out terrible. I was thinking how I'm gonna paint it. Now i know. Thanks for Sharing!!
WOW Amazing job! - Reef
Thanks, Reef and REEF's RC! Hope you like it and thanks again for letting me use your servos for this build!
So… you’re an artist, engineer, cinematographer, storyteller and down right genius RC builder… congratulations. You deserve all the credit you get. 👌🏻
Thanks again, James! I truly appreciate it and thank you for watching!
Ditto what James👈 said 🤓👍👍👍👍

That's the greatest rc build I've seen ever. The best part was, no deflections in any of the wheels/tires when it was rolling. That rc must drive like a dream!
Well done and inspiring as well.
I have an older scx10 II. Now I'm gonna build me a III.

I’ve been getting into it because I want to try to see if I can make one. 😩😭 I just need to get a better idea of what I need to buy and where.
Wow...just wow. The attention to detail is insane, 100 percent the coolest build I've ever seen . Amazing job!!

People who buy pre-built cars will never know the pure joy you feel knowing you built it from a box of parts !
Thanks for watching! :) I quite agree, and it helps one learn more about the vehicle. But, I guess to each their own.
Holy crap! You’re an absolute master! So beautiful! Definitely going to amp up my game seeing some of your methods!
Amazing work as usual. For me you're easily top 5 TH-cam channels and I wish you nothing but success!

So did you mix Ooyy song at 56:00? The version here is far superior to the standard mix. If you didn't where did you find it? thx again!
