The Tamiya 47394 Mountain Rider is aimed at enthusiasts who value accurate scale appearance and mechanical authenticity. The assembly kit reproduces the Toyota Hilux RN36 with a finely detailed injection-moulded body, fitted roll bar, and metal-plated wheels that complement the lifted stance.
The ladder-frame chassis offers a faithful platform reminiscent of the real truck, while the included 3-speed transmission provides a genuine gear change experience. First gear drives all four wheels, and the upper gears operate as 2WD for a range of driving behaviour.
The suspension uses metal axle housings combined with leaf springs and shackles to cope with rugged surfaces. Die-cast housings contain front and rear differentials, helping the model maintain predictable handling through bends and over obstacles.
The RN36 Hilux was known for a sporty lightweight body and excellent off-road credentials. Its live-axle layout and large tyres made it capable in varied conditions, and the Mountain Rider recreates that character in compact RC form.
The Tamiya 47394 Mountain Rider appeals to collectors and builders who want a historically faithful kit with genuine mechanical detail.
