I couldn't agree more that the leaf springs give the truck a more scale look; I like the way it moves over the obstacles. Great job!
only a year late, But this is by far the best looking crawler I've seen period. I may be abit biased since I love that truck, but the color, the parts, just perfect in every way. New desktop background! thanks!
looks awesome, especially love the bucket!!!! the turning radius is unreal coming down the incline
Watched a handful of vids and had to subscribe. Enjoy the heck outta watching you tearing up more than one hobby. I thought I was bad for having multiple "toys," throwing on mods, and building. Good to see a girl that gets so involved! Great info too, thanx!
So freaking dope the way the front wheels matched the spiraled stairs when you backed up and turned the front wheels ...gorgeous set up btw!
Agree, leaf springs all the way. Brilliant job with the upgrades. You nailed the wooden steps 2.37 ~2.52... Excellent driving. I remember this Hi-Lux being built to the production Line that i looked after in the early '80's, in Durban South Africa. The best 4x4 for its price.
Rig look good.
The grub-screw mod is a Trailfinder mod we've been doing from the beginning.
Love the build!! Looked great out on the trail! Also, just grabbed a sticker for my tool box! Keep up the great and informational videos.
Thank you!!
nice!!!!! i've been thinking about this kit for awhile and since i have 3 scx10 ii's i think i might just 'have to' convert one;) thanx Rc Girl, the truck looks fantastic by the way!
One handed driving skill like a Queen Boss. Like the color of that truck. Looks good!
Im trying to get into the scale side of crawlers. You have some great videos to learn from. Thanks 😊
One of the best looking scale rigs I've ever seen, NICE JOB!!!!
Your leaf spring conversion worked great! Nice flex also.
Wonderful job and the scale look is perfect👍👍👍
Awsome build...I can't believe I actually liked the leaf springs....awsome watching it go down the spiral steps...it handles very scale! RC U LATER RC GIRL.
love the old school paint job. reminds me of the one my oldest brother had in the 80's.
You created a wonderful model there. I like the color scheme and the cantilever shocks and everything is so harmonious.
The only thing that bothers me are the amber colors, rear side markers. .I have a HG P407 myself and for lack of two red 3mm LEDs I had to use the amber-colored ones, because the kit I use only includes four amber LEDs as side markers. .you are doing a great job and I like to look over your shoulders.

Kicking ass and looking good doing it! I ended up fashioning wheel wells out of black gorilla tape for my truck.
Yeah RC girl Love your rig looks awesome, I have the marlin crawler lots of fun to drive. Yeah the grubs screws for the body first thing I did. Appreciate you sharing. I enjoy your videos a lot from Manchester Michigan. Have a great day
lol I love the little bucket . You are a good host , no high pitch fake tv voice , great vid
Recently found your channel and subbed. Love your videos, keep them coming!
I love the scale 5 gallon bucket. I'm a nitro buggy or truggy type myself, I love the scream and the speed. But I've always thought Axial makes some real cool stuff. Your Toyota pickup is vary cool.Thanks for sharing your experience with us. I can't wait for you next video.
Great video! You can get aftermarket fender flairs if you do decide to run C1. Keep doing what your doing ✌🏼
Great video! thanks for sharing. I wish that Toyota had really offered an extended cab/crew cab when I bought my 1982 SR5 new, but they did not. Looks pretty cool. Lighting and accessories add a lot. You need an RC Girl in the drivers seat to complete the look!
Just finished my LC70 following your instructions from your blue wrangler video.
It's dark grey. Now i want to get this body and do it yellow like the pizza planet truck in toy story 😂
Sooooo in the future more leafspring builds 😋. Looks great and trail too
Have fun with it
Great video series. The leaf spring setup definitely looks more scale. A+
The details of the vehicle look good. Thank you for the good explanation👍👍👍
That's a cool rear spring setup, looks like it works pretty well.
Had to watch the video again I like that truck and how it came out, keep on trailing RCgirl
✌🏼
Great truck RC Girl you are the best, your truck looks so real, I love it
Looks GREAT Hayley!! Almost makes me want to try Leaf Springs! 😉 The Grub Screw idea does work.
Some think that Scale Shocks are better.... Don't know why! Actual Oil Shocks seemed to give your Rig more stability.

I love your Build, looks great. You're also a super Driver! Very nice to watch .😊👍
Amazing build, I want to do a leaf spring conversion as well! Love the attention to detail!
Your Truck look like original. I love it.
Profesional job.
Great video and shooting , thanks for the ride👍🏼👍🏼👊🏼
I watched with interest. Because if I'm correct, you added leaf springs. And I just bought a toyota w leaf spring on purpose because it was completely scale. I have a spring over shock dedicated crawler.
But I enjoyed your video very much and regardless that it doesnt articulate as well, its great.
Also, maybe you know about REVOLVER AND Z BOX Accessories for leaf spring articulation.
Thanks for fun and informative video.👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍😊😊😊😊😊 .....by the way...took your advice and bought the same 5 gallon bucket....only blue. Love it.
RC Gril nice driving. And with the setup you have on the backend of your Toyota and being able to see straight through from wheel to wheel' I it was me I would cut off the hole floor of the bed and drop it right down to the frame and then make new bed walls. This way you can't see through and under the truck bed because this mod gives you a true full drop bedand that is going to be all the more scale and then later on if you cut out your tailgate to make it open and close now your bed floor is flush the tailgate when it is down.
Your Toyota looks very well done and given better outside. Love the video.
Great job! The leafs look scale, but as you said, you need to drive accordingly, as they can't compete with 4 links. Miss Dante supervising the outdoor shots. Hope he's doing well.
You could get a fanny pack, or some people call it a hip pouch to keep a few tools on your person and that way you won't have to go back to the pit. You can have a few of the most common tools in a very small bag that is only on your hip and won't make you hot in the heat, especially if you are in a endurance competition, or are out on the trail. Great build.
Excellent job. Love the color choice.
Very Cool RC girl -- enjoy your RC content thumbs up EJ ,I had my drone skydio track my xmaxx my last vid :) still learning
Look and Drives SUPER Stock love the Springs You must be sooo Proud
A cheap resolve for the wheel wells is duct tape they make actual lexan ones but I never used those. Love the realistic tire conformation to the stairs.
I love that you did this! Been very interested in doing this myself. Where are you from? Id love to see your rigs on the trails sometime
Hey, I got a solution for the problem of seeing through the wheel wheel wells.
To fix it, I manufactured a wheel well cover with aluminum sheet in a truck I built, and hardened it with epoxy hardener to help strengthen it and help stave off rust and, sprayed it flat black, then attached it to the body with strong loop and hook straps, a really strong one and it worked perfectly.
heres is a brand of inner fenders for the scx10 II you can get them at rcmart or ebay! It is a good looking truck!
Hey, great content! I am new to RC, I love your detailed look into your builds. I am curious about this rigs left turning radius, seems very wide compared to right turn. I noticed on the wooden spiral descent. I hav similar issues on my crawlers... How to remedy?
Great Video! Love this conversion.
great review! Love the new body
Pretty cool, looks like it could be in a shot for a movie.
It looks great!! Good job!
Hello RC Girl! I've been watching your channel more and more lately and must say, I like your content, your projects, and your style. So I just subscribed, to better keep up with what's going on. I am relatively new to RC, but got hooked real quick and it has become one of my main passions. The other one is music and my guitars. So naturally I couldn't help but notice a guitar on the wall in just about every one of your videos. Have you considered maybe including a musical intro now and then, or playing us out with something you're working on at the moment? Thanks for all the nice projects, insight, great infos and tips!
Excellent work RC girl 👍
Great job on the build paint color is awesome keep up the process with rc. 👍👍👍👍
Thank you! ✌🏼
Grate looking truck ! You can search for inner venders for scx 10 on eBay or wish you just cut them to fit. Once again grate looking truck very scale nice colour as well
Beautiful Build😉👍 I have some 3d printed wheel wells for my SCX10 II that work pretty awesome, they keep all the mud and grime out of there too. Gorilla tape also makes great fender/ wheel wells and stuff like that. also the gorilla tape looks kind of like carbon fibre, if you do it right it looks great 👍 . Just a thought.
Amazing truck! Great engineering 👍
That’s really nice! Back bumper hits just like a real Toyota! Lol! Great Work!
Just wondering when you might get some scale stickers to put on the side of my truck.
Well it worked out, I think you have done a great job, hopefully you will find an interior,😀
Awesome build series!
Looking good! Color is badass! ❤️
Is there any way I can get my honcho to turn more than what it does now? It just doesn’t seem to really have a good steering radius.
An interior would be a good addition to the Mojave pick up, aside from covering the wires, it adds beauty to the tiny truck. .
I saw u also still have the cantilever installed. Will the leaf spring alone work if the shove removed? Need to lower my lc70 rearbed
Awesome rc trailfinder☺
Would this leaf kit work on an enduro? Seems like most every part can be used on both trucks if it’s ment for one or the other
Great rig ! You did a great job!👍👍👍👍
Nice job Haley 🙌
I wouldn't worry about hiding the frame rails in the rear of the truck. As for tire coverage, just make some fender flairs. It is a good looking truck and though a bit stiff does seem to handle well.
Love the color! Let me ask now it’s all said and done and the amount of work and money you’ve put into it... looking back would you have rather gotten the RC4WD kit and built a new rig or would you convert a scx10 again?
Good question.
Why take a 4-linked rig and leaf it? You're literally going backwards in performance and technology.
Why take an RC4WD TF2 rig a 4-link it?....if you're going to do that...why not just buy a "plastic" rig that's linked already.
Really...the best answer is it just a hobby , right?!
Have fun.
Greeting from Portugal 🇵🇹 Nice video, thats a realy nice truck, love that paint job
There is a video of someone taking plastic lunch meat containers and using the ends. And they painted them black and they looked really good. 👍
Matte finish on the shell, is that painted on the outside or is it a matte overspray? Been wanting to do that with my Kraton. Im still on the fence about entering the crawler world. Tempted though.
The color scheme is not girly at all :o) Love it!
Got me really motivated to build one!
Awesome truck and nice color too RC Girl 👍👍👍👍😎😎😎😎❤️
Hey, very nice truck! Im thinking of buying a hardbody for my next build but I’m just wondering how the hardbody is able to resists scratches after a few runs, do you know anything about it?
The body is tough but since the paint is on the exterior it will likely get scratched (more or less, depending on the paint you use). I think it adds to the scale look of an old truck. But the body itself is pretty sturdy. I'm actually working on a new hardbody now, the RC4WD '87 XtraCab. It fits this same chassis
Looks clean, I like it good Build :)
Nice video I also got the desire to convert mine!
RC4WD has beadlock wheels that will move your tires in so it will be a class 1. And G Made has a set they do the same thing and they are heavy so they will help it to be more planted as well.
Looks really good. How did you get the axles to line up with the body correctly?
Awesome! 👏
excellent video, really like the truck
Rc4wd Land Rover 90 wheelarche flares would fit and cover a percentage of your tyre if you did think about going that way.
Great video and the Toyota looks just great! Do you have the camera on the remote control or how do you film and drive at the same time?
Film and drive just holding everything!! I have a dx5 rugged so I was able to drive one handed, but it was not easy!! haha
@@RCGirl That doesn't sound easy but good to know :D maybe I'll try that too :)
Looks sweet nicely done 🙂👍
Not only yes but hell yes.....good job.
Good job on your conversion, it looks very realistic. And you crawl very well :)
What I'd like to see though, which I've not seen much of because obviously you don't use it while crawling, is sway-bars / anti-roll bars. You know trucks aren't only for crawling, there are beach races and open road races where 4x4 vehicles go pretty fast, like in the movie The Goonies (from 1984) where you can see this annual beach truck race at the beginning of the film. I'd really like to see you drive your 4x4 vehicles not only crawling in heavy terrain, but also experiment some on gravel roads at a little more speed, like turning on gravel, perhaps taking smaller jumps, things that challenge the stability and maneuverability of the car.
That is one COOL looking truck!
Great video and good looking truck 👍🏁
Awesome place to crawl! Nice video taken
I got a lot of inspiration from the video and I try to make it, but the chassis was discontinued. Since this is South Korea, it is difficult to obtain and it is too expensive such as eBay. Is there any way to get a cheap chassis?
Awesome RC Girl cool 😎 video
Nice truck & cool video! Let’s see you play the strat hanging on the wall 🎸👀
Use Oleo Tubs or Cool Whip Tubs, some sort of Plastic bowl (Tupperware perhaps). Find ones that are the radius of the well wells, and cut and mod them to fit. add paint or truck bed liner and roll.
You can add fenders to cover more of the tire and make it class 1 ready
Great looking 4 door
RC cars n guitars! Sweet
I just got iner fenders off Amazon for my scx10 ii and they will cover all what you want to cover. Could get some one to 3d print them or get crafty and make them out of plastic or what ever... and fender flairs will bring ur fender out which if it's the same as real vehicles legally should work I think... i don't know rc comps though
