The Tamiya 84386 - Toyota Hilux Mountain Rider recreates the tough persona of the full-size Hilux in 1/10 scale. Built on the RN36 platform, this kit balances traditional styling with tried-and-tested mechanical components for credible trail performance.
Featuring an ABS body that captures the truck silhouette, the model sits on a robust metal ladder frame for rigidity. The three-speed transmission and solid axle leaf spring setup reproduce the real vehicle's off-road characteristics in miniature.
A precise clutch assembly smooths gear engagement while die-cast aluminium axle housings house gear differentials that can be locked when you need traction. Friction dampers and chevron tread rubber tyres provide predictable behaviour across varied surfaces.
The front toe can be adjusted to refine steering response, while camber and ride height remain fixed to preserve scale appearance. Light buckets are included so you can fit optional LEDs to light up the model on dusk runs.
Tamiya 84386 Toyota Hilux Mountain Rider is a rewarding assembly kit for enthusiasts who enjoy hands-on builds and realistic mechanical detail. It offers a solid platform for modest upgrades and scale appearance without sacrificing durability.
