wow man, that's quite the collection!!!

since you've OBVIOUSLY been in this a long time, have you ever seen a 1:10 scale (and real looking, not like a baja or stadium truck style) 3rd gen pickup body? either lexan or hard-body? OR, maybe a recent Toyota Tacoma body (05+)? I've been looking high and low and can't seem to find either... apparently a few years back Radio Shack sold one that looked like the 05+ Tacomas, but it was a smaller scale (like 1:16 or something...)

Besides the tamiya body at the top the only 89-95 pickup body made was made by shinsei as an Ivan Stewart truck like above and also made by nikko in black as several different trucks, it's a 1:16 scale.

Kyosho made a super scale looking 90-95 4runner in 1:10 scale, it is the closest to that generation in lexan.

As far as Tacoma bodies 05 and up I'm not sure of anything bigger than that radio shack 1:10. I will see if I can find one tho

I've been itching to throw one on my Axial SCX10 chassis provided I could find one


I've seen the 4Runner lexan body before, and the thought actually crossed my mind about getting one and trying to hack the top back of it off and making it a pickup, but I'd probably just horribly screw it up lol

Yeah I almost thought about doing that too but the fact that the rear bumper runs down the side eliminates it's from looking like even a bobbed pickup lol. Still on the hunt for a stock bodied 3rd gen tho

Dude my first RC was a tyco bandit! Ruined it by plugging my brothers hobby grade batteries into it. They both had Tamiya style connectors. It ran fast as hell......for a minute. From there i got me a Midnight Pumkin and never looked back.

Good collection man!

Man that's the best collection I've seen. I especially like the tyco stuff. You don't see many non hobby grades anymore. The bandit and fast trax are awesome. I've been looking for both. I just sold almost everything I had over at rccrawler. Still have a few though. I'm working on converting a mgt 8.0 over to electric right now. Sold all of my crawler gear because we don't have any rocks here. Don't ever let me know your address or you might have to shoot me running out the door with an arm full.
