WORLD CLASS CRUISER CRAWLER

- RADOSLAW SLUGOCKI « WARSAW, POLAND

The HZJ79 is Toyota’s heavy-duty double cab Land Cruiser pickup and its reputation for all-terrain reliabilit­y is unmatched throughout most of the world, including in Radek’s native Poland. But he wanted to make his Axial SCX10 Ii-based HZJ79 even more formidable, so he installed a set of MST axles under it. MST also supplied the 1.9” KM tires mounted on a set of Gmade SR02 wheels. Power comes from an RC4WD 65T brushed motor with a Hobbywing Quicrun 1080 ESC. He also decked it out with a bunch of scale overlandin­g accessorie­s from RC4WD to both dress up and protect the LC70 hardbody from Killerbody, starting with Trifecta front and rear bumpers and sliders. There’s a bed cage topped with a soft cover and a set of fender flares. There’s a Malice Mini Roof Rack with LED lights installed, matching the headlight/taillight kit. There’s also a metal exhaust system and a Warn winch.

BASED ON AN AXIAL SCX10 II

BRETT TURNAGE « MORENO VALLEY, CA One astonishin­g fact about Brett’s Back to the Future inspired Delorean might lead some to wonder if in fact it can travel back in time: he designed it and 3D-printed it in just seven days! Of course, this isn’t Brett’s first foray into 3D-printing RC cars, and to aid in developmen­t of the Delorean he uses some running gear from a Tamiya F104 Pro II Formula 1 chassis. He took the rear subframe pod, including the differenti­al central rear shock, and mated it to his own custom-designed chassis and suspension. Mounted into that rear subframe is a Goolrc 2340 4P Sensorless motor controlled by a 45A ESC and powered by a Venom2000m­ah 2S Lipo. He utilizes most of the parts from Tamiya’s kit for the front suspension, actuated by a Hitec HS-77BB low-profile steering servo equipped with a Racer’s Edge aluminum servo arm. There are no authentica­lly styled Delorean wheels so Brett designed and printed his own (using the same PLA and PETG filament as the body) and wrapped in the Tamiya kit’s tires. The gullwing doors open and are held closed with magnets, and special LED glow EL wire rope replicates the blue lights that erupt as the BTTF Delorean hits 88mph and travels through time!
