It would be nice if someone could work out a re-pop body for this truck

Somebody did. There is/was a guy in Australia selling them on ebay. I can't remember his name. They are nice, I have one.

always liked these trucks..very cool to drive.. i got 1 a few years ago (cheap, cracked chassis) i fixed the chassis but the diff would not hold up, tryed to fix ,got so fed up i threw out the trans and chassis.. anyone else have this problem with the diff slipping ??

are you kidding me, you can't run that in heavy metal... those belong in 2wd truck....

Just Messing...

I agree with you Scr8p, those (Hilux/King Cab)should be allowed in the Heavy Metal Class

If I could afford one, I would run a King Cab at the VONATs.

How about if I put lunchbox tires and wheels on my RC10 Heavy Metal Project?? would that make it a little more fair??

[tecnica2001]

I agree. Not too sure I agree with the monster rc10 thing but I am new here and have absolutely no right to question a decision on that Still trying to see if the wife is cool with me going to the 09 nats. I have a nice Gold pan on the way "just in case". It will be nice to help represent the Pa.Posse

Off course you have the right to question any decision, will they take it into consideration? Now that is another story

I can do it for you, if you want.

[scr8p]

what, you'll print the manual or rebuild the truck? if your tamiya builds go anything like that of your rc10's, i'll just take the manual.

if you have time to print it, that be cool. if not, let me know. thanks.

That's the site I use for old Tamiya manuals-- even the ones I physically own I have downloaded for instant reference on my computer.
You have to be a paying member to get the full-sized manuals at TC.

My buddy had a King Cab when we were kids. I was a sweet truck at the time. I was going to get one for him off ebay an found a mint truck all built with an unpainted body for $400.00!!!! Are they really that collectable? I remember the body being really weak too!!

what is collectable is up to you. For me, I have no interest in the Hilux so $400 would be way too much but for someone who cherished one of these back in the day, $400 would be a steal. I guess the point I am trying to make is buy what you like, not what someone else thinks of it.

ive seen decent(not new or mint) Hilux/king cabs have as low as $50 buy it now..id watch a bunch on ebay first.some people ask high $$$ for stuff but never get it..i really like how these trucks drive..just not a big fan of the trans and the chassis (i had a ebay hilux with bad trans and cracked chassis) if you find one with a sassy chassis and a steath trans buy it ... it may be one of the coolest trucks ever
