Take On Tough Road

This electric R/C assembly kit reproduces the 4WD Toyota Hilux Pick Up (RN36), which enjoyed wide popularity in the US and Japan during the 1980s and is still adored by many fans today. The model features a ladder frame like the actual vehicle, Type 540 motor, 3 speed transmission, and an abundance of metal parts for a high level of realism. Its live axle suspension features metal axle housings, leaf springs, and oil dampers while a metal front under guard helps the model take on tough off road conditions. A highly detailed injection molded body and large 123mm diameter tyres also gives the model a stylish, high lift appearance.

 

About the Toyota Hilux Pick Up

The 3rd generation Toyota Hilux Pick up (30/40 Series) debuted in 1978 and the RN36 model was developed specifically for export markets. It featured a sporty, lightweight body and was powered by a 98hp 1,968cc 4 cylinder gasoline engine. Furthermore, its live axle suspension featured front leaf spring shackles located towards the rear to provide sufficient approach/departure angles for superb off road performance. Front/rear flared fenders and large tyres gave the truck a tall, aggressive stance. The RN36 model was mainly exported to North America but was also later sold in Japan, and there are still many fans of this pick-up to this day.
