SCX10 91 4Runner w/ 4HI 4LO and 2WD selectablility via remote
I finished my SCX10 a while back with the R2 transmission using the 2 speed unit as well as disconnect. Its taken a lot of careful thinking to make sure it will all function right. The biggest issue was getting around the terrible drive shaft angles from moving the outputs inward. Typically the transmission is mounted flat and the driveshafts are offset but theres no way it will work unless you stretch the wheelbase to a rediculous unscale length. Heres what ive done to the truck
Truck info:
Its 91 4Runner I built to resemble my 94 4Runner using the SCX10 chassis. I have spent many hours beefing up and fully waterproofing this truck and run it off a traxxas brushless with 11.1v lipo. I will have to post the higher res pictures of it underwater and all the hill climb/creek crossing its done. I love this thing it does awesome on the trails.
I can now select 2WD LO, 2WD HI, 4WD LO, 4WD HI and lock the front axle to do a burnout all from the remote.

I have repainted this body 3 times, now its a 4 door
It has the RC4WD aluminum SR5 wheels and soon to be finished chrome grill set, with head lights, turn signals, marker lights, painted valence, grill and toyota emblems.
All done, time to hit the trails. Just waiting on the waterproof servos and steel driveshafts
front dig setup
Previous setup
The grill on the left is what happens when you buy a reproduction grill set. I pulled the tape off after painting the very last part and already had the marker lights and turnsignals on.
The one on the right is an original one I just got in from overseas and is in progress. I think the chrome is gonna stick much better
When I get the new stripe kit for my 94 4runner im gonna use the old stripes to recreate the graphics on the rc truck so they are 100% correct.
A peice of rebar ripped the bumper mounts so I went ahead and trimmed it off

I like it. I'd like to see how you do the shifting from the remote though.... how is it set up?

I use my traxxas summit radio to control the shifting. The hi/lo switch on the radio is the hi/lo switch for the scx10. The 3 way locker switch control sets the 4wd mode, 2wd mode and then locks the front axle.
