Thunder Tiger 1/12-scale Toyota Hilux Trail Rig
Now is the perfect time to be a fan of the “scale R/C” scene. Not only are there an army of new 1/10-scale rigs hitting the marketplace, but there are also a few, slightly smaller, 1/12-scale vehicles to choose from. If you have been wondering if the scale and trail scene is the right fit for you, then one of these entry-level rigs might be the perfect fit for you.
Not wanting to miss out on the excitement, Thunder Tiger has added a four-wheel drive, 1/12-scale Toyota Hilux replica to their lineup of radio-controlled vehicles. Using what’s now a tried-and-true formula, the Thunder Tiger Hilux features a ladder-frame chassis, mid-mounted, 380-size motor, and four-link suspension to help this truck maneuver over any type of terrain.
Adjustable, threaded shocks provide flex and stability when the trail gets rough. Tunable adjustment rings allow for on-the-spot adjustments to dial in the truck’s handling characteristics.
On the outside, a replica Toyota Hilux body finishes off this truck wonderfully. Available in three colors (black, red, and blue), there's no wrong choice when choosing a lid color for this truck.
Also included in this ready-to-run package are a 2.4GHz radio system and a 7.4v, 850mah Li-Ion battery.
