Hmm...
Maybe when Tess is all said and Done I will get one to look like her, then I can go to Auto Shows and go HA! Look! I have a Miniature 4Runner :-P

Those definitely look fun!

Showed the wife to see how long it took to recognize them as RC. She said the lack of suspension articulation is what tipped her off.

I thought the wheel velocity looked really good. It would be interesting to see just how soft of springs and what the scale gearing is to replicate a real rig.

Yeah of course they're RC...

This is how they really do it over in Japan
