Aoshima Toyota Hilux 4WD Double Cab Truck '92 1/24 w/ Super Swamper Tires

With so many on offer these days, it is great to have a name you can trust. This item is certainly that and will be a perfect buy. The distributor have added some great touches and this equals great value.

Fun model for Toyota enthusiast
This is a great model of a fantastic truck from Aoshima. There are hundreds of parts and not all of them need to be used. You can customize how much lift you really want because the body lift pieces are optional, as are the suspension lift pieces. You can even build this with the stock suspension. The only downside to doing this is wheel and tire fitment. The kit only comes with one set of wheels and tires that are scaled TSL Super Swampers in approx 35" (scale) with rims that look like 15x12 (scale). If you can find other rims and tires from other kits then you can do that. So where is the stock Toyota truck kit? I have a 05 Toyota Tundra DC 4WD in real life and the frame/driveline layout is similar. Given that the thing is IFS, I can get a feel for where things need to be tweaked to get a suspension mod in.

The only bummer with my kit was that the polyethlene bushings were missing from the box. I emailed the Aoshima company in Japan about getting these. Time will...

RC truck
This is not a toy for children. It is geared toward teens and adults. My son broke his within 2 days. Redcat does have extensive replacement parts available. The aluminum part we need costs more than the car itself. So the dilemma is to buy another plastic part which will more than likely break or shell out $ for an aluminum part. Also the reverse feature works when it wants, not consistent at all.

Buy from REDCAT
I purchased a Sumo Redcat Racer for my son for Christmas. He was so disappointed when he put the batteries in & it became extremelly hot & began to smoke. I returned the product to Redcat for repairs. Redcat fixed the truck and returned it to me with no additional charge and kept me informed with emails letting me know that 1. they were fixing it, 2. there was no charge, and 3.when it was finally shipped. This RC truck is super fast yet easy for my 10 year old to control. He LOVES it and REDCAT is a great company that stands by their products. So great to work with a company that actually follows through on their warranties :) Recommend you buy directly from Redcat, some companies out there will ship refurbished items. Not a cheap "toy" but worth the value if your child loves RC's!
Good value
The car is fast and built like a real hobby level car. This is not the type you get at a toy store. I'd expect it to cost more.
The bad news is that the smaller pieces do seem to break easier. We broke a tooth on the main differential in a couple hours and there are no metal replacements. For the part and shipping I think this is a $20 fix.

1/24 4WD Short Course Truck RTR
The world's smallest 4WD Short Course Truck

Great Indoor Car... not outdoor
This is a great little truck. The 4wd is probably not necessary but is great in preventing getting stuck. My 4 year old is able to drive with little supervision.

Pros:
Small Enough for in House.
Pretty fast
Very durable.
Replacement and hop up parts available.
15 minutes of drive time on fully charged battery.
Battery is replaced on the bottom of the car, so requires no time or tools to switch a battery out.
Controller has adjustments to set the alignment, which is a necessity.

Cons:
Gear in the rear Axle was knocked loose... easy to fix if you can figure out how to take apart and put back together. The car may have been dropped, could not get a straight answer from the 4 or 7 year old.
Turn Radius is not great... Probably due to 4wd. While driving you can pop from forward to reverse to forward and kick out the back to shorten the turn ratio on slick floors.
RC Controllers Metal expandable antenna looks fragile...

The perfect basement racer
This thing is really fun. I purchased it for my son's 5th birthday as something we can do together and to get him interested in the world of RC. I was an RC fanatic in my younger days but since so much has changed, I did a lot of research to find the right car. I was looking at 1/10th scale short course trucks at first thinking we could race it together at the local track but after a few practice runs with an old RC10T3 I quickly realized my 5 year old might be better served learning on something a little smaller and maybe a little slower. Besides a 1/10th scale car is no fun indoors. I'm glad I found this little truck. It's a little smaller than I had expected but it's not super micro. It's a great size for indoor and outdoor fun. The build quality on this truck is excellent. It's a true hobby grade product which means that hobby shops carry a full line of replacement parts and upgrades which is great for someone who's just learning to drive. Once you break a toy quality car it's...
Best micro car ever!
Hello

I received one of these cars about a year ago, for my birthday. It is great. Very durable, and fast! It looks so real, and it is a great car for inside when it is raining and I can't drive on the dirt track near my house.

Pros:
Very durable: Has hobby grade electronics, steel driveshafts, LCG tub chassis
Great handling: The oild filled big bore shocks and 4wd system allow you to put all the power to the ground. The shocks allow for great cornering, and the 4wd allows for some good powersliding on polished floors.
Soft rubber tires: the tires are soft compound rubber, like what would be used in larger scale rc racing. It affords huge amounts of grip on pavement, but still allows for some good old drifting fun on slippery surfaces
Suspension: It has threaded big bore shocks, with oil (my 1/10 racing SCT does even have this!). The oil in the shocks makes fore great handling. It is a serious improvement over the micro t friction shocks. The...

Micro basher
This rc is great! for the price, you wont be sorry. This car features plastic parts everywhere using philips head screws throughout the entire truck. The body shell is quite tough and durable and withstood all of the crashes i put it through. the car runs off of 4AA batteries which last for about 45 minutes of run time. This car is off road capable taking on scale dirt, gravel, and short grass, and even sand! the newer versions of this truck come with 2.4ghz transmitters that take 3AA batteries to operate them. An absolute must buy upgrade would be the heat sync seeing as the motor can get piping hot to the touch. Also i recommend buying spare pinion gears and ball bearings for smoother rides and longer run times. It is quite easy to accidentally strip out a pinion gear. All in all this is a great buy and i would recommend this to children and adults of all ages.
So fun!
I bought this truck and the blue flames one for my b/f for Christmas. He loves them! He's been looking into upgrades for them already. They zip around so fast! He has them doing backflips! Batteries definitely do make a difference in how fast these things move. You'll be surprised! And they are quite durable. Very cool and fun trucks! Fast shipping was great too! Thank you!

1/24 Tandem Axle Car Trailer
So where will you put your completed 1/24 scale model car when it is finished? Do what the full size car owners do. The Testor trailer is great for die-cast displays and dioramas. Works with most 1/24 scale cars and truck models. The Testor trailer includes a pre-painted black die-cast body, and all parts glue or screw together.
With so many on offer these days, it is great to have a name you can trust. This item is certainly that and will be a perfect buy. The distributor have added some great touches and this equals great value.

Good Model
Note, you have to assemble this. There is not painting on this. There is an optional mount for a car on it. For the wheels, be ready to tap in with a hammer. No tools are included so have a screwdriver, a hammer, and glue. Once it is done it looks amazing. Its a good buy for a display or just for your collection.
