47394 Tamiya – Mountain Rider

This riproaring R/C model assembly kit re-creates the Toyota Hilux, a pick-up truck that has enjoyed enduring popularity from the U.S., Japan and beyond. The version uses a ladder frame such as that on the true vehicle, and can be powered with a 3-speed transmission that provides 4WD (1st gear) and also 2WD (second and 3rd gears) and lets gear-changing while conducting. The realism doesn&39;t stop there, with the rugged suspension featuring metal axle housings, leaf springs and shackles, whilst the rear installation is paired using a radius pole. A metallic front under guard helps the model take on rough off road ailments. The detailed and durable injection-molded body with roll pub is married to metal-plated wheels on 123mm diameter tires to give the model a stylish, high-lift appearance.
