Technically speaking it’s a Toyota Prado 120, but 4Runners and FJ are cousins and share some parts. I’m so stoked for this! This will be my first scx24!!
@@scalebuildersguild sort of? I think the GX470 and Prado share more DNA. The 4Runner today is its own beast I think. Kinda like the Tacoma is sort of a Hilux. At least that's my understanding of it. I could be wrong, I'm actually a dummy in real life.
This is absolutely awesome! As a kid who grew up around nothing but Toyotas, this is amazing to see. I do not have anything smaller than 10th scale vehicles in my fleet but this really makes me consider taking the plunge into small scale crawlers. I think we are all excited to see what this license will bring us in the tenth scale side of the hobby. Cheers SBG!
Im actually surprised they offered this to us. Love it! Im so glad to have something other than jeeps, and squarebodies even thkugh i love them we are a bit saturated on them lol
I can't believe my eyes... Something other that a Jeep, Chevy, Toyota, Land Rover...??! 😮 Congratulations Axial! 🎉👏👏👏 Don't stop, try other scales and other car makes! 🙏😁 Thanks for the review Matt!
They finally moved the battery up front!! It's still up higher than I like to put mine, but at least they're finally wising up and moving that weight forward.
I was never into the small scale until recently. I had never done rock crawling before so I picked up two assent 18s . Last week I bought the axial C10. I like them cuz you don't need a lot of space
I enjoy my 1/10 scale crawlers outdoors but I have more fun with my 1/24 scale SCX24 crawlers indoors. I’ve built a large modular portable crawling course. The modules can be switched and interchanged. It’s great fun and I can add course sections anytime I want. They hang on the wall for storage. I have varying difficulty throughout the course so some stock rigs won’t make certain lines. But there’s always an alternate challenging line that they can make. I have the Lexus on order! Can’t wait to add it to my collection.
OMG… I OWN silver 2008 GX 470! This is awesome! If they put this body on an SCX6 I’ll take that as the sign I’ve been waiting for to spend the money. :).
I just bought one of these as my first crawler. It's is a blast. Yeah, it's a little top heavy, but i enjoy the challenge it creates. Also, way to call out the wittle wadders. Clearly you're informed 😂
Still want a 3rd Gen 4Runner, I have the pro line 2nd Gen body I've been painting to match my 2002 but would love an actual 3rd Gen. I have 2 1/24 one for me and one for the wife because it's the only thing other then my lunchbox she's willing to drive because there slow, haha Plus New England weather means not many winter outdoor stuff, so drifting and carpet racing, or indoor 1/24 stuff to get the rc fix while it's all cold and wet outside!
Great video as always!!! im not ino to small stuff, but rhe guys who are really are into them, doesnt mean i dont have a couple on the shelf looking awesome, but yes rhat one looks great!!! Thanks!!!
Had multiple scx's but paired it back to just my B17 big Betty NIB and an original deadbolt. If they were to do a GMC K2500 in the 'Fall Guy' colours I'd buy it immediately 😍
23 4Runner is my DD,wife’s is a 22 GX460.Toyota owner since 1985! Guess I’m a FB! I buy anything Toyota ,Lexus related,definitely getting this,but have checkout the black and white version’s with the brass colored wheels!
I have a SCX24 gladiator, but I'd love to see more Toyota as well! They should do a classic line, the old school 80 series Land Cruiser, and I'd love to see an FJ40!
@scalebuildersguild Thank you Thank you Mr Matt 🙏 sorry I couldn't stay awake to watch all of the livestreem last night. Treatments are kicking my rear end. God bless and keep wheeling 🙏
Cool looking Lexus 4x4 and I get it when a certain crawler calls out to you.Just that there are so many options with more features at a better price nowadays.Im still liking the small scale crawlers along side my 1/10.They both have their uses and entertainment for me. Great vid and crawl with this one.👍🏼👊
My most used rig is an scx24 with hard body crawler company fj40 body . Its took many upgrades to make it perform well with the weight of the tall hard body but its ok . 👍 Although its more 18th scale now .
Nice review. The body really is great, but the wheels and tires give it that Stomper vibe. I'd like to see it on some early .9" Axial wheels, or even .7s.
Yup, though I haven't put a battery in any of my rigs in months, this one appeals to me... I may just have to ask the great pumpkin to leave one in the patch...
Yeap I'll be grabbing one of these when its made available in Oz, although I will be making small changes so its a Prado as opposed to the Lexus badging! Woo Hoo!
I have 2, an old c10 and the gladiator (jeep i got off a friend cheap to turn into something else at some point). This will be first scx24 I'll actually buy. Fit perfect with my FMS scaler toyotas. Pretty excited for these, not sure what color I want yet.
That is a good lookin truck. I started with micro crawlers and only have one SCX24. I think as a readily accessible and highly upgradable platform it is a good truck. That being said though, I feel mildly indifferent toward my C10. I think I need to upgrade the electronics because it's kind of a dog on the rocks.
Waw! It looks great. The bronco was nice but the gigantic gap between body and bumper was a no-go for me. This is definitely the one release that could lead me away from the mini-z. That body looks nice, tucked behind this bumper... and with oil shock as standard.
Fcx24m is much better out of the box imo. Same ol crap scx underneath. But most of these guys that have this atm won’t acknowledge the 24m because horizon sent them these for promotion and wouldn’t like a real comparison 🤷🏻♂️
I’m probably on my own but the 24th scale stuff just seems silly to me. My opinion but I’m sure those into it that scale probably enjoy them and that’s what the hobby is about.
Just in time for the IR60 in 1/24 from Injora. I skipped the last round of Axials. Might have to on this one. It also tells me that I think we'll see the new Land Cruiser coming too.
I've got a couple scx24, and fcx24/18 Ive built a 20x7 scale crawler course in my basement for winter. And they're great to toss in a backpack for a camping trip or hike!
It's refreshing to see something other than the typical Jeeps and C10s. I have more 1/24 crawlers than 1/10. Not gonna get this new release though. I'd love to see some 1/10 Toyota hardbodies from Axial. Or any hardbodies for that matter.
This one looks really cool. I do like the “non-Jeep” body, just because there are other cool off roaders out there that aren’t Jeeps. I have a TRX-4m Bronco and it’s great fun for $150 USD. However, unless you’re running on a prepared small scale crawler course, it meets it match pretty quick. I don’t know why Axial and Kyosho went 1/24 with theirs and not 1/18. Maybe to be different? And NOT have parts interchangeability?
I own two of Gx470’s in real life and have been wanting to do a 1/10 version for some time but unable to find any body options. I guess I will have to settle for a 1/24 version. Axial/proline need to get on the ball and do a 1/10 body.
Trying to figure out the best 24 scale for my kids. All three of them and one for me and I plan to take them adventuring. Just trying to figure if an axial or something else. Customization would be nice
@ which one would you say? I know hey will want to try stuff. But I imagine I could improve any version with aftermarket stuff. Was thinking the new UTB18 4ws but we can't ship to Japan with the lipo
Looks smooshed. And is gonna need a couple hundred bucks in parts before it will perform really at all. I love my scx24 BASED stuff, but I don’t understand how they still sell rtrs that need so much stuff replaced! I guess new bodies grab money.
Do yourself a favor and get the ascent18. It don’t look as good out of the box but it’s 10 times the truck. This is a shiny new body on top of the same piece of garbage.
So, it comes down to performance versus scale looks. Never mind this is a 1/24 scale, from a performance perspective the Ascent 18 IMHO is going to out perform this, especially as a rock crawler. It has portal axles for great clearance and is easily the quietest rig I have. I am continually amazed at the performance of my Ascent 18. The other difference is actual crawler versus more of a trail rig with some crawling abilities. The most important thing is the fun factor. Go with what you want and just have fun.
@@stuartoakley4784 yeah even though I think this body looks terrible with its dark tinted windshield and odd looking tires it is still more scale than the ascent for sure. I put the Injora ir60 on my ascent and now it’s way better looking than this thing lol. And it runs great!
Need more offbeat bodies like this, variety is the spice of life after all
Technically speaking it’s a Toyota Prado 120, but 4Runners and FJ are cousins and share some parts. I’m so stoked for this! This will be my first scx24!!
Same chassis same wheelbase different bodies.
Enjoy!
Just ordered mine! I can’t wait to start RC crawling
Something other than a Jeep is a win! Would love to see a hardbody COE Unimog from either Axial or Traxxas, next!
GX470 is a Land Cruiser Prado
Which is a 4Runner in North America.
@@scalebuildersguild sort of? I think the GX470 and Prado share more DNA. The 4Runner today is its own beast I think. Kinda like the Tacoma is sort of a Hilux. At least that's my understanding of it. I could be wrong, I'm actually a dummy in real life.
@@scalebuildersguild either way Axial is getting my hobby bucks for this thing. Another to add to my Toyota collection!
@@WigglesTTH Yeah you're right the Prado and 4runner aren't really one in the same. Many differences between the two (overall size, powertrain, etc)
I don't think we have anything like the 4Runner in Europe. And the Land Cruiser Prado (120 series) is not the 4Runner in the US. It's the Lexus GX470.
Yesss! FINALLY a non-J40PowerJeepDefender Wagon!
I would love to see a 1/10 scale version of this. Beautiful!
I appreciate putting the item in the title. I search your videos for content based on specific vehicles.
Thanks for the feedback!

A lot of people really like the portability of 24th scale- and they're great for indoor use during the summer months! Thanks for watching!
Im actually surprised they offered this to us. Love it! Im so glad to have something other than jeeps, and squarebodies even thkugh i love them we are a bit saturated on them lol
I wish they would scale up the bodies so the trucks aren't running 40s but it'll be a cool rig to display.
Wheels will still look largish but some of rc4wds smaller tires will solve that issue. Somewhat.
Id like to see axial offer this in 10th scale
I can't believe my eyes... Something other that a Jeep, Chevy, Toyota, Land Rover...??! 😮 Congratulations Axial! 🎉👏👏👏 Don't stop, try other scales and other car makes! 🙏😁
Thanks for the review Matt!
Get mine today! Ordered one with Christmas money. Def gonna add some brass!
They finally moved the battery up front!! It's still up higher than I like to put mine, but at least they're finally wising up and moving that weight forward.
I don’t think the battery location changed, but I’ve been wrong before!
Made no change, the weight bias is still the same
I really wish this was a scx10 or scx6 body instead. That is a good looking truck.
I hope they do a 3rd gen 4runner in the future, I 3d printed my own but a official one would be sweeeeet
Love the GX, can’t wait to see these modified
I was never into the small scale until recently. I had never done rock crawling before so I picked up two assent 18s . Last week I bought the axial C10. I like them cuz you don't need a lot of space
Very true!
Everybody loves a hard body. I'm not into the small scale rigs, but that is a great looking little rig.
Finally a better looking shell and a Toyota. Love the Demelo bumpers and the accessories

This, and the impending FMS FCX10 LC80 Land Cruiser release are right up my ally. Definitely picking one up! Great video Matt, thank you.
Is that coming in 1/10?
@estebandelrio2861 there was a product page for it a week or so ago with a SKU and image, it's no longer accessible but it definitely was there.
Enjoy!

It is pretty cool!!!! MAKE THE HANCHO NOW AXIAL!!!!
Nice video ! Running footage is awesome as always
I love 1/24th and small scale RCs
Glad to hear it! Thanks for watching!
Same wheel base as the jlu but the lower links are different. So keep that in mind when buying them and wanting to do links.
I just bought one of these as my first crawler. It's is a blast. Yeah, it's a little top heavy, but i enjoy the challenge it creates. Also, way to call out the wittle wadders. Clearly you're informed 😂
Ha! Glad you like it!
Great video!we need more Toyota 😊
STILL no Honcho.. 😄
That’s great but what about a 1/10th scale?
Now that would awesome!
or what about 6th scale ouuuu
Give it time. It will come. With the losi groms they got Toyota license. This is a result of that. So yes there will be a 1:10 just give it time
Awesome..I will definitely be buying the silver one to add to my fleet..hopefully a Tacoma is next.
Still want a 3rd Gen 4Runner, I have the pro line 2nd Gen body I've been painting to match my 2002 but would love an actual 3rd Gen.

Nice, thinking about making this my first 1/24 👍🏾🔥
Go for it!
Sweet! I have everything to build it out. Awesome review
Awesome! Have fun!
Nice review. The body really is great, but the wheels and tires give it that Stomper vibe. I'd like to see it on some early .9" Axial wheels, or even .7s.
Honestly haven’t gotten the axial but have multiple trx4m, this might be the first scx I get
Yup, though I haven't put a battery in any of my rigs in months, this one appeals to me... I may just have to ask the great pumpkin to leave one in the patch...
I'll send word to the Great Pumpkin!
A lot of people dont know
Lexus came about here in the U.S.A as a means to build a higher quality car than what the Toyota was known for at the time.
Dame it I didn't want any more little trucks but I like it too

i got rid of my 1/24 and 1/18 and now will need to buy one again since I do drive a gx470.

No 24 scale rigs, only my Capra and a Rock Pirates build been doing for a year. Stay safe and happy holidays
Yes inner fenders and taillights would do it.
MAN this thing is SO COOL
Pretty freaking awesome and that's the only scale I mess with and I got a ton of them
Awesome!
ohhhh baby once this is in my local hobby shop im buying it
Enjoy!
Do they make a bigger battery for it?
If only they hadn't gone so damn dark on the windshield! This truck would never pass the State inspection.
Ha! True!
truck?
@@robbinthehood94 ok, fine, you got me there.

Fair enough!
Amazing! Love the look, if only it was a 1/10, maybe some day
I'm glad that Axial is branching out to other brands. I want to see then branch out to Chevy & do their Colorado, that'd be dope!
That’s the best looking one so far, but still can’t bring myself to buy one.
Can you tell me what size tires are on there?
Yay not a Jeep. I don't do the small scale stuff, but I agree that it would be nice to see something in a bigger scale.

Can LEDs be added to the taillights? You didn’t really say or show it up close
Not without doing some designing, but totally possible.
I like the white version and love tiny trucks
Hey matt I was just curious I ordered a jacket on the 16th last month but have no way of tracking it, what’s the wait time usually for getting merch?
Can take up to a month or more. You can always inquire directly through Teespring. They’re usually quite good at communicating!
Trying to figure out the best 24 scale for my kids. All three of them and one for me and I plan to take them adventuring. Just trying to figure if an axial or something else. Customization would be nice

Was thinking the new UTB18 4ws but we can't ship to Japan with the lipo
Its a 1/24 scale… but at least a hardbody 😅 and a little bit cute. Best from Denmark 🇩🇰
Thanks for watching 🇨🇦
I love the body but I’m kind of disappointed that scx24 still hasn’t been upgraded. I would have least expected a brushless motor or metal links.
Oh... But I really wanted another Jeep.! 😉 😂 😁
Just had to roll it 😂 👍
Just what we wanted, a 7th version of the scx24
I sense some sarcasm 😂
1/10 version would be rad 👏🏼
Looks smooshed.
And is gonna need a couple hundred bucks in parts before it will perform really at all.
I love my scx24 BASED stuff, but I don’t understand how they still sell rtrs that need so much stuff replaced!
I guess new bodies grab money.
I hate that radio, the powerwagon came with it. I think the flysky was a much better radio. wish youcould turn the lights on and off.
Oh happy day!!! Must have this
Go for it!
Since they have this does that mean the next will be a 4runner, or possibly a tundra?
Maybe?
Nissan Titan would be really from out of left field.
