This precision-engineered exhaust pipe transforms the appearance of your RC4WD TF2 LWB Land Cruiser LC70 body, bringing genuine scale realism to your build. Whether you're a dedicated RC car UK hobbyist, a scale crawler purist, or someone who appreciates meticulous attention to detail in their RC models, this hand-welded metal exhaust delivers the authentic aesthetic that separates showcase builds from standard runners. The combination of premium stainless steel construction and professional hand-welding makes this far more than a cosmetic add-on—it's a statement of quality that reflects your commitment to building an authentic scale representation.
Crafted with the same precision that RC4WD is renowned for across their entire range of scale accessories and upgrades, this metal exhaust brings a level of realism that simply cannot be achieved with plastic alternatives.

Perfect for scale crawler builds, competition display models, or anyone serious about achieving that "all the details matter" approach to RC modelling, the RC4WD Metal Exhaust transforms your Land Cruiser LC70 body from a functional model into a genuinely impressive scale replica. When combined with other RC4WD LC70 body accessories such as the Trifecta Rear Bumper, Rear Mud Flaps, and Rear Fender Flares, this exhaust becomes part of a comprehensive upgrade package that elevates your entire build.
Key Features
- Stainless Steel Construction — Built from genuine stainless steel rather than cheaper pot metal or plastic alternatives, this exhaust combines durability with authentic appearance, ensuring it will not rust, degrade, or lose its finish even after extended exposure to outdoor elements and moisture common to UK RC running conditions.
- Silver Anodised Finish — The professional silver anodised coating provides a realistic metallic appearance that closely mimics genuine vehicle exhaust pipes, reflecting light naturally and maintaining its vibrant finish far longer than painted alternatives.
- Hand-Welded Construction — Each exhaust is individually hand-welded rather than mass-produced through stamping or injection moulding, demonstrating the precision craftsmanship that goes into every RC4WD product and ensuring structural integrity and consistent quality.
- Corrosion Resistant — The combination of stainless steel material and anodised finish provides exceptional resistance to corrosion from moisture, salt, mud, and the various chemicals encountered during typical RC off-road adventures, meaning your exhaust will look new for years to come.
- Precision Scale Detail — Manufactured to exact scale proportions, this exhaust sits naturally on the Land Cruiser LC70 body without appearing oversized or undersized, contributing to the overall authenticity of your scale representation.
- Lightweight Yet Durable — At just 0.79 ounces (22.5 grams), the metal construction adds negligible weight while providing substantially better durability and appearance than plastic alternatives, making it an ideal upgrade that doesn't impact handling or performance.
Technical Performance
The RC4WD Metal Exhaust represents a masterclass in attention to detail and material science applied to RC scale modelling. Constructed entirely from stainless steel—a material choice that speaks to RC4WD's commitment to longevity and authenticity—this exhaust delivers both aesthetic and practical benefits. The hand-welded construction process ensures that each joint is structurally sound and consistent, with no weak points or manufacturing defects. The silver anodised finish provides a protective oxide layer that prevents corrosion whilst maintaining that authentic metallic appearance that catches light exactly as a real vehicle's exhaust would. Measuring 2.12 inches in length (53.86mm), 3.64 inches in width (92.50mm), and 0.30 inches in height (7.50mm), this exhaust is precision-engineered to the correct scale proportions for the Land Cruiser LC70 body. The relatively modest weight of 0.79 ounces (22.5 grams) means installation has no negative impact on your vehicle's centre of gravity, weight distribution, or performance characteristics. This is particularly important for scale crawler enthusiasts who are meticulous about maintaining authentic proportions and weight distribution. The corrosion-resistant properties ensure that this upgrade will maintain its appearance through countless hours of muddy trail running, wet UK weather, and exposure to the various contaminants encountered in realistic off-road conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Will this metal exhaust fit my RC4WD TF2 LWB with Land Cruiser LC70 body? — Yes, the RC4WD Metal Exhaust VVV-C0416 is specifically designed for the RC4WD TF2 LWB when equipped with the Land Cruiser LC70 Body Set. It has been professionally tested and demonstrated installed on this platform and is confirmed compatible. If you have this combination, installation is straightforward.
- Is the metal exhaust functional or purely decorative? — This is a scale detail upgrade designed for visual authenticity rather than functional purposes. It is a cosmetic enhancement that adds realistic appearance to your scale model without affecting the vehicle's actual engine cooling or exhaust systems.
- Why choose stainless steel over painted plastic alternatives? — Stainless steel offers multiple advantages: it resists corrosion from moisture and salt spray far better than painted plastic, maintains its appearance longer without touch-up painting, feels more authentic to the touch, and represents genuine scale craftsmanship. In the UK's often wet climate, corrosion resistance is a particularly valuable benefit.
- What makes the hand-welded construction superior? — Hand-welded joints are individually inspected and created with precision, resulting in stronger, more consistent connections than mass-produced alternatives. This means the exhaust is less likely to break or degrade, and each unit maintains consistent quality standards.
- How much weight does this add to my vehicle? — At just 0.79 ounces (22.5 grams), the addition is negligible. This means you get realistic metal construction and appearance without the weight penalty that would normally come with stainless steel components, making it an ideal upgrade for balanced builds.
- Will this exhaust rust or corrode? — No. The combination of stainless steel material and silver anodised protective coating makes this extremely resistant to corrosion. You can run your RC vehicle in wet conditions, muddy terrain, and even coastal environments without worrying about your exhaust developing rust or losing its finish.
- Can I use this on other Land Cruiser LC70 body setups? — This exhaust is specifically engineered for the Land Cruiser LC70 body profile. Whilst it may appear to fit other similar vehicles, proper fitment and authentic scale proportion can only be guaranteed on the RC4WD TF2 LWB platform with the LC70 body. Always verify compatibility before purchasing for different setups.
- How does this compare to plastic exhaust alternatives? — Metal construction provides superior durability, authentic appearance, corrosion resistance, and longevity compared to plastic. Whilst plastic exhausts are cheaper, they discolour over time, can crack or break, and lack the genuine aesthetic appeal of metal construction. For serious scale builders and RC enthusiasts in the UK market, metal is the superior choice.
