...I picked up an SCX24 Toyota 4Runner. First thing I did was swap the wheels. I temporarily added the wheels from my AX24 and some wheel weights. I have some Injora rims and tires coming for it along with a few other goodies to add some weight.

Stock out of box.

The paint is very nice, has a slight metallic sheen that doesn't show well on the photos.

Sweet looking rig in my favorite color🤩
 
The orange on the wheels really makes it pop! I think you need to add a snorkel.
But then I'd have to find swim goggles and a floaty that would fit it. 🤷‍♂️
 
So this is where your posting your scx24's ay?
I've almost gotten the Toyota too.... only thing holding me back is wondering how top heavy it is being hard body?
Is it a looker or can it be a performer also? I trust your opinion!

As with most SCX24's, to get the performance you have to replace at least 50% of the vehicle. 🤣 I bought the 4runner because it was a looker. If your looking for performance I'd still go with Hobbyplus CR18 v3 series, Redcat Ascent18 or on the high end Furitek.

I was playing around with the 4runner in the house crawling over stuff and it is going to need a new motor. Just not enough torque. I've gotten spoiled by the other brands. 🤷‍♂️
