rm8 Posted June 3, 2020 Posted June 3, 2020 Hello EB members Here is my improved Toyota Hilux SR5 with new Body version, like in "Back to the future" movie. Previous version I've posted here chassis remain the same, as in 4 door version. Now 4 door and 2 door version use the same chassis. My model is a copy of Marty McFly's Toyota Of course you can build stock SR5 Toyota Truck mixing design of my previous 4-door Hilux and this 2 door version. Some things were improved after 4-door model: - new bonnet - new front doors (lower section) - new 1-piece arches inside cargo bed - detailed dashboard with higher placed steering wheel, updated seats. - improvements done to cab fixing points: now I have 2 extra points in the front, and there is no need to fix long pins with bushes under the hood. - control: Smart Brick (Sbrick) - drive: XL motor, 4x4 transmission with axle differentials - steering: Servo motor - solid axles - front suspension 4 link triangulated - rear suspension 3 link - openable doors, bonnet, tailgate - 5-seater saloon - LED front lights - removable pickup bed and cab - wheels: 62-68 mm Video review with ENGLISH SUBTITLES (turn on manually) Instruction is availbale as complete chassis+body and only body versions at Rebrickable Quote

Pauls Technic Posted June 3, 2020 Posted June 3, 2020 That is very cool, such a great level of detail. Quote
Surffikoira Posted June 3, 2020 Posted June 3, 2020 (edited) This is so awesome, I remember thinking "some day" like Marty when I saw the movie I already bought the instructions last week, just waiting on some (a lot of) parts to arrive before my childhood dream is fulfilled Edited June 3, 2020 by Surffikoira Quote
MinusAndy Posted June 3, 2020 Posted June 3, 2020 Thats easily the nicest looking hilux Toyota have ever made and you’ve nailed it bang on. Quote
HoodRacer Posted June 3, 2020 Posted June 3, 2020 Fantastic! Normally I’m not a fan of 3rd party tires but I love that the ones you used have an almost perfect replica of the ubiquitous BFGoodrich all-terrain tread pattern Quote

Zerobricks Posted June 4, 2020 Posted June 4, 2020 I remember seeing this movie for the first time as a kid and instantly falling in love with that pickup truck. It's nice to see it in technic! Quote

Surffikoira Posted June 8, 2020 Posted June 8, 2020 @rm8 Is it possible to use the wheel mold variation with the extended axle stem (https://rebrickable.com/parts/32020/wheel-432mm-d-x-18mm-with-extended-axle-stem/) on the model? I have my eye on the metallic silver wheels from the 8285. Cheers! Quote

Oh dear . Thank you and sorry for that. I just stared at the inventory like an idiot and somehow missed the obvious, including the extended stem on the pics. Thought the metallic silver would be more shiny though Quote
