TAMIYA
TOYOTA 4x4 PICK UP
BRUISER
This sophisticated
R/C vehicle uses a three speed gearbox that is shifted via the transmitter for
powerful four wheel drive in first gear, a two wheel drive at medium speed in
2nd gear and 2 wheel high speed running in 3rd gear. The gearbox comes factory
assembled and the remaining vehicle assemble much like the full sized Toyota.
Huge tires and the powerful high torque RS-750SH motor provide spectacular performance
for the good looking pick-up truck.
About the real vehicles
4 wheel drive pick-up trucks have been popular with the outdoor enthusiasts
for years and many of these types of vehicles have been modified for racing
and sporting events. One event called the "Mud Bog Race" is done in
a muddy bog and is very exciting to watch.

The 1992 Tamiya Catalog reads: The unique "California" styling done to many of the popular pickup trucks has opened up many new sporting activities, such as mud bog racing and car crushing. The Toyota Hi-Lux pickup is one of the vehicles used for these modifications. With the oversized wheels and tires and very powerful engines, these powerful vehicles are a sight to behold during these exciting sporting events.
