- Locked Diffs, New Wheels & Better Tyres! New HG P417, A Clone of the Tamiya High Lift (Toyota Hilux) This trail was 48 mins long, and the battery still had some life left in it!
These 2 Upgrades are a must if you want your High Lift Clone to perform!
Buy it here:

Gensace Battery I used:

So, the HG P407 Tamiya Bruiser clone has been out for a long time, and has mixed opinions. Now there is a Tamiya High Lift clone! At nearly half the cost of a Tamiya, it's hard not to want to buy one if you are a fan of the Tamiya 4x4 Trucks! What do you think to it?

Really nice to see you showing run times from the battery your using . Very few people elaborate on this . And I think it's actually looking much better now it's got those larger wheels and a few accessories in the bed 👍
Thanks Jack. I often forget, but I know people like to know what runs times they can expect.
Fantastic job sir.... And the paint job is different class!!!!
Much better. A big improvement
Yes, certainly is!
Nice truck! With the upgrades works better! I love the rear servo system!! Great vid bro! Thanks for share! Have a Great weekend! !
Thanks mate, You too
Looks so much better with all that you did to it. Nicely done.
Cheers dude
Awesome run👍👍
I got the Tamiya one I built myself and apart from what you have upgraded I took two leaf springs out from each corner. Makes a difference with stiff suspension
Thanks mate
This is my chance to get a "Tamiya" Highlift!!! I had been wanting to get one since a long time
I bought one of these trucks last year and it is great fun. I have been a long time Tamiya fan and actually have a Tundra High Lift in my collection as well. The High Lift design goes back quite a few years now so you have to accept that there will be a few compromises to make in terms of performance but the HG product gives you a lot of truck for your money. I recently made a video of my P417 driving by the river on the Black Sea coast. Check out how it performs by visiting my channel, BlackSeaRC.
@@BlackSeaRC Great! , I certainly will look after your videos, yeah I know there must be some differences compared to an original Tamiya one, but for the price the HG must be worth a try by a long shot
@@adr20sv The electronic components are not known brands but they seem to work okay (although the servos could do with being more powerful). The rest of the truck looks pretty much the same as the Tamiya one. You probably expect to get a few issues for the price but really the cost of the Tamiya product (kit only) is very high!
Nice one , bigger wheels transforms this truck, all so added a RPG! 😀
Great video...clearly the changes you've made have made a big improvement...and well yeah as others have mentioned it does look stunning. Maybe you should get a Tamiya and do a side by side comparison...I'm sure this would come out on top when it comes to the ' bang ' vs ' buck ' stakes 😎👌
Very Very impressed with your innovative Transmitter wheel adapter Phil. There's going to be a few rolls of tape being used for that in my house now 😄 Thanks mate 👍
haha... I was pretty impressed myself. 😎
Well that worked, Phil! Nice and cheap, too. And that transmitter mod definitely worked, some excellent tracking and one-handed driving at the same time - wish I could do that! :))
Cheers Mark. You are still 'Old School' with your stick controllers lol
Wow that’s awesome 👏 very nice rig good runs great job thumbs up 👍
Thanks mate
Looks great! I love the scale look especially with trucks. I have a Carisma F150 just for the scale look it has. Great video 👍🍻
The Carisma F150 is nice
Powerful RC truck 👍
Nice mods.
Clones make me appreciate Tamiya that much more😎
A tip : watch movies on KaldroStream. Been using it for watching loads of movies during the lockdown.
@Morgan Max Definitely, been using kaldroStream for since november myself :D
Ampro Engineering has a transmission lift kit to get higher clearance
I watched every second of the run with keen attention. It seems that you´ve defeated the traction problem with the locked diffs and decent tyres.
This still leaves the wider question of just what this truck´s "for". It´s no good at finding traction unless hte owner locks the diffs, which leaves me wondering how often I´d use the two higher gears. Rather like my Wheely King, it has the wrong suspension to be a basher, and it´s no rival to an SCX-10, an RC4WD TF2 or an Ascender.
I think the potential market for this model is partly composed of people like me, who wanted an original back in the day but couldn´t afford one, and people who just appreciate this little RC milestone as an example of 1980s high-end RC engineering. I love it, and think it´s a bargain, too : )
Yes Del... most of this video was in Low gear, and a few occasions in 2nd... but no need for the high gear. I think you are correct with what this is for... it's for Nostalgia. So much more out there for the same or cheaper.
Yep much better
Thank you for the tips keep going
No worries dude
wow,great rc and looks awesome,great video
Thank you 😀
Great job on the truck. It's amazing what a simple mod on an rc improves it. Now you should mod the low hanging transmission,lol. I'm just waiting for banggood to sell the body itself so I can mount it on my HG P407,lol. Did you get the 1/6 rochobby mb scaler yet? Curious about your thoughts on it. I really like mine but being I'm already modifying it,I ordered a second to leave in its stock military form,lol.
MB Scaler is on the way... been waiting ages for it!
Cool video buddy, cool little truck. But hows the big Landy coming along? 😁👍
Landy is awaiting some work. I need to see what broke on the diffs, and then find a fix for it
Nice video and vehicle !
I would like to see the chassis disposition of weights (where is the battery for example?).
It seems nice, but may need some upgrades to scale better...
Yes, it needs a bit more work really
Hey do you have any clod tires you could mount on the 417, That’s the only thing holding me back from ordering one I don’t know if my clod tires will fit or not.. Thanks
Great info
This with a few more upgrades or the bruiser? Can't make my mind up.
I like the idea of a 2wd option for high gear smooth sand tear up with paddle type wheels on back to get rooster tails. Maybe even try to make it drift! Then changing to 2.2s for extra clearance and selecting 4x4 low/med. But I want that switchable 4ws too! Don't want 2 trucks if I can help it, just one to convert depending on action wanted. Fussy bugger 'n' I? 😄
Ideas would be welcome.
Nice video 🙂
BTW, like what you did in the "Y" and "a" 😁😆😉
haha, cheers, thought it added 'character '
Great video !!!!🤩✨👍
Thanks
Telling us how long the run time was is a really useful thing!!
Thanks mate
Really impressed with the rig are you going to make it brushless ? Or keep it standard. All in all really good truck for a knock off of the tamiya highlift.
No need for Brushless. It would probably destroy the gearbox lol
How did you lock the rear diff? I tried and was unsuccessful
I ordereds those wheels April 7th this year. They still have not arrived. Did they send them to you?
I've had them ages. Bought them maybe last year
Tomley I need your help
You see in my country everything is expensive
So would you think it is better to get the MN 90, MN 99 or MN99s
Thanks!
MN99s 👍
not big on flex, but the power and 4WS sure nice.
4WS is a bit meh...on this. Needs to be about 50% of the front really.
i got a problem keep my rear wheels straight. every time i get them streight the starts turning XDXDXD u got any ideas ti lock the rear wheels? whitout glue?
I have the same issue with the rear end wandering around. I believe it is because the steering servo is not powerful enough to hold it in the straight position. I didn't try upgrading mine yet though. Alternatively, the kit comes with some spare parts to reconfigure the truck to front wheel steering only. You can see a video of my truck in action by checking my channel, BlackSeaRC.
Does locking the gears put extra strain on them?
I expect they do if you get hooked up
Which is better among RGT 86100, RGT EX86010-JK, RGT EX86010-CJ, or RGT EX86110 Pioneer? Please help me bro
The RGT EX86010-JK, RGT EX86010-CJ are the short wheelbase versions of RGT's latest platform (forward motor and centre transfer case)so presumeably you could buy a spare CJ shell and fit on the JK for a different look. The RGT EX86110 Pioneer is an almost industry standard 313mm wheelbase so there are a huge number of alternative shells available ;later on. Longer wheelbase crawlers are more stable on hills wheras shorter wheelbase rigs turn sharper and are less likely to high centre
Nice background music
Thanks, I initially didn't bother, but the sound of me walking along side the truck was a little annoying lol
What's the best way to waterproof an rc that clame its splash proof ?
conformal coating
Is it water proof out the box.
No fully.... but if you go easy you should be ok
You might just get away with another 10mm in diameter on the tyres Phil,it would help in ground clearance.
Yes for sure... I had some 120mm ones which were too big, these are 104 I think... so yes, 110-115 would probably be about right 👍
lol the stock wheels made it look like someone made a monster truck and ran out of money before they got the wheels
Haha yeah
👍👍👍
Hey, good vid, errr, and a good channel. I have been a Tamiya fan since 1984 and quite enjoy watch various youtubers and their RC collection. You do have an envious collection of cars i have to say. But........
I was one of your thumbs down, and i thought I'd explain.
The main issue i find with trying to make scale car footage look real, is it somehow makes it look even more toy like and fake, mainly because of the exaggerated and quick movements of the car, its the nature of the beast i think. What i was hoping for was maybe in this case was compare the pre upgrade version with the new upgraded vehicle by doing a test drive including something like a steep incline to show off the difference in your upgrades, maybe a speed run to see any difference.
All i end up doing is after about 10 mins of just driving i speed through to see if anything changes. If you do driving a montage why not mount a goPro under the truck or in the drivers seat?
Anyway, just ideas and feedback, ignore, delete or change - I'll keep watching and commenting :o)
Thanks for the feedback, I appreciate you explaining why you thumbs down in the comments. I'd love to do more side by side and in depth videos, but with working 40hrs a week, and being a family man, I get very little time to make complex videos. This has very basic upgrades and throughout the video there were multiple terrain changes. The original footage was 48mins worth, so you got 1/4 of the whole recording. Anyway, like I said, appreciate the feedback 😎👍
2.2 inch wheel and 120mm diameter tire hmm will it look good? hmm
May be a little too big
@@TomleyRC yeah I'm imagining it.. I'm a bit sad because it can't crawl like the bruiser
Wow.... mntap..🏆📲
Asiap..🔴😎📢🙏🇲🇨
I dont like the 4wS 😞
It needs reducing to at least 50%, it was to much for this really
it your a tamyia fan.................... buy tamyia simple
One look at the massive diffs and the low hanging undercarriage tells of an engineer that has no automotive experience/passion whatsoever.
It was designed by Tamiya.
I like driving videos with this type of terrain. I have no idea why but I strongly disliked the videos driving on the beach. I think it's because the sandy terrain is boring and you need to be full throttle to go anywhere.
Agree...these are actually more fun to record as well.
it's a clone of the tamyia big bruiser........... fkkn high lift
