Tamiya 47394 Mountain Rider Classic Hilux Truck Kit  [47394]

Classic Pickup Reborn

For modelers who love vintage trucks and hands-on builds, the Tamiya 47394 Mountain Rider delivers a period-correct driving model with plenty of character. The kit faithfully recreates the Toyota Hilux RN36 styling with a detailed injection-molded body, an authentic roll bar, and metal-plated wheels that give the high-rider look of the original.

Scale Engineering and Transmission

The Mountain Rider uses a ladder frame chassis to mirror the real vehicle's toughness while allowing flexible tuning. Its 3-speed gearbox provides realistic gear changes, giving 4WD in first gear and switching to 2WD in the second and third gears for varied driving feel and challenge.

Durable Suspension for Rough Trails

The suspension setup features metal axle housings, leaf springs, and shackles designed to cope with hard off-road sections. Die-cast axle housings contain front and rear differentials, helping the truck turn smoothly and maintain traction on uneven surfaces.

Honouring the Hilux RN36 Heritage

The RN36 Hilux was notable for its lightweight sporty body and strong mechanicals, traits that made it popular for export markets. Big tyres and live-axle suspension helped its off-road reputation, and the Mountain Rider captures these hallmarks in RC form.

The Tamiya 47394 Mountain Rider suits experienced builders and collectors who appreciate a true-to-life kit with authentic mechanical details.
