Building an RC: Axial SCX10 III Toyota 4Runner TRD 1991 (Time Lapse)
This is a time lapse build of a custom Axial SCX10 III Jeep JLU Wrangler Kit adapted to a 1991 Toyota 4Runner TRD concept. The completed build results are shown at the end of the video.
A very special thanks to Paul Willhite from Axial and Pro-Line Racing for providing the kit, some Pro-Line Racing parts, and extra parts for the build. Early this year Paul got in touch and we talked about the idea of me building an Axial kit. So, I can’t stress enough how thankful I am to Paul and his team over at Axial/Pro-Line Racing for giving me the opportunity to work on an SCX10 III. Paul, this kit is dedicated to you and the team! Check out their website:
www.axialracing.com/
www.prolineracing.com/
I’d also like to thank Sheref (Reef’s RC) for sending me the servos needed (and horns). Their impressive servos are a perfect match for this build. This build uses the RAW500HD and a couple of 99:Micro servos. Check out their servos:
www.reefsrc.com/shop
And finally, the Axial and RC crawler groups on FB for helping me out when I had questions!

This build experience was a favorite of mine and I enjoyed it a lot, especially because of the capability and popularity of the SCX10 III, and its transmission design-a 2-speed with a separate dig function. I chose to install both of them. And of course, the SCX10 III is one of the top crawlers to have and try. I like the quality of the parts and the build went smoothly without issues. The kit also seems to be a newer revision(?) based on some of the gears (doesn't seem to have square ends anymore for the pin inserts) and the servo mount in the kit I received didn't need any trimming.
As for the body, I always wanted to do a truck themed version of Keiichi Tsuchiya iconic old school Hot Version Toyota AE86 N2 TRD, and so I thought it would be ideal for this build. His AE86 is extra special as he brought the car to the late legendary engine designer/engineer Shinichiro Sakurai of TRD to work on. And in a sea of many Jeep crawler bodies, I chose Pro-Line Racing’s 1991 Toyota 4Runner body to be different. The body paint was the most challenging part since I’m not a body painter. But in the end, I was happy with the result.
I haven’t spent as much crawl time with the truck yet and it probably deserves a dedicated video. In the right hands it'll be exciting to see how it performs around tough obstacles.
And as always many thanks to you, the viewer, for the support and taking the time to watch my videos! Hope to hear from all of you in the comments section.

Thanks! The kit comes with the proper screws but I didn't use them as I have some stainless ones that I decided to use instead. This build has a number of aftermarket mods (gears and parts). But, I always put the parts in labeled plastic containers-just makes it more organized and faster at least for myself. Good luck if you ever build a kit, just take your time!
