RC4WD has built an enviable reputation among scale RC crawling enthusiasts across the UK and beyond for producing parts that combine uncompromising accuracy with genuine durability. These rubber mirrors are no exception.

Whether you're competing in organised RC events or enjoying recreational RC driving, upgrading your truck with these authentic mirrors shows serious attention to detail.
Key Features
- Scale-Correct Design — These mirrors are engineered to match the proportions and appearance of the original 1985 Toyota 4Runner, ensuring your RC scale truck looks authentically detailed and historically accurate, which matters to builders who demand precision in every component.
- Durable Rubber Construction — Unlike brittle plastic mirrors that shatter on impact, the rubber injection moulding provides genuine durability and flex, allowing the mirrors to absorb trail knocks whilst maintaining their shape and appearance, extending the lifespan of your detail parts.
- Lightweight Performance — At just 8.4 grams total weight, these mirrors add virtually no burden to your vehicle's chassis, meaning you won't sacrifice handling, weight distribution, or climbing ability whilst adding scale authenticity to your build.
- Complete Hardware Package — The set includes everything you need for installation: left and right rubber mirrors, rubber rings for secure mounting, silver steel body clips rated at 1.21mm, and a mirror decal sheet for additional customisation and authenticity.
- Easy Installation — Designed for straightforward fitment on the RC4WD 1985 Toyota 4Runner Hard Body Complete Set (Z-B0167), these mirrors integrate seamlessly into your build without requiring modification or custom engineering.
- Trail-Ready Materials — The rubber construction resists UV degradation and maintains flexibility in both warm and cold conditions, making these mirrors suitable for year-round UK RC driving in varying weather conditions.
Technical Performance
The RC4WD 1985 TOYOTA & 1987 TOYOTA XTRACAB 4RUNNER RUBBER MIRROR Z-B0196 represents meticulous engineering in the details category. Manufactured using rubber injection moulding — a technique that produces superior durability compared to standard plastic parts — these mirrors are built to perform. The total package weighs just 0.30 ounces or 8.4 grams, making them one of the lightest detail upgrades available, which is critical for maintaining the optimal weight distribution and handling characteristics of your RC 4x4 truck. The rubber material provides genuine resilience that absorbs impacts during trail driving, preventing the catastrophic failure common with rigid plastic mirrors. The inclusion of rubber rings ensures secure mounting to your vehicle's body posts, whilst the silver steel body clips at 1.21mm diameter provide reliable, corrosion-resistant fastening. The integrated mirror decal sheet allows for further customisation, enabling builders to achieve showroom-quality detail on their scale trucks. This comprehensive approach to a seemingly simple component demonstrates RC4WD's commitment to quality engineering across all their products.

- Are these mirrors suitable for aggressive trail driving and rock crawling? — Absolutely. The rubber construction is specifically engineered to withstand the demands of technical RC off-road driving, including rock crawling and trail bashing.

- Can I use these mirrors on other RC4WD Toyota models? — These mirrors are optimised for the RC4WD 1985 Toyota 4Runner.
