    Who cares? This never shows everything anyway.
    I have one of these! Check out this post from my RC topic: https://www.4runners.com/threads/fi...ding-in-central-new-jersey.14668/#post-188473

    I don't play with the Mini Z 4Runner as much as I thought I would, but it's still a whole lot of fun. I pimped it out with brass axle parts in the front and the rear, a light kit, and I tightened up the slipper clutch with a cut-out comic book backing board sandwiched into the slipper clutch. I also had the brass-filled wheels, but I recently swapped them over to the regular wheels because I think the tires weren't getting enough traction with all the brass inside of them. The brass axle pieces are very hefty on their own. I actually got the official Kyosho front axle pieces. They're more expensive than this one aftermarket piece I saw, but they're much beefier :D

    I also have an Enduro Trailrunner which I play with a whole lot more. On pretty much a weekly basis as long as the weather allows. It's 1/10 scale. Much bigger than the Mini Z.

    I see there's a new 1/24 scale Trailrunner. Enduro24. Similar in size to the Mini Z. I don't know much about the Enduro24, but I have the standard 1/10 scale Enduro Trailrunner, and it's great. It's a lot cheaper than the Mini Z, too. It might be worth looking at if you want a little 5th gen. Its capability might surprise you. It looks like it has solid front axle, too. The IFS from the 1/24 didn't carry over.

    Holy smokes I want one. You got me at 5th Gen and a hundred bucks. Great find and thanks for the find, I tried looking and for something like this and gave up. Much appreciated!

    You're welcome! Certainly post about it if you do get it. If it's anything like the 1/10 scale version, you'll have a good time. I just hope the steering servo's easily replaceable on the 1/24 version. Over half a year into my 1/10 scale and that's the only thing that broke so far. I usually take it out at least once a week for an hour or two at a time, too.
