I have a couple of Axial Scorpion RC's but your FJ 40ish body is fantastic !! Where did you get that?.

We really like taking ours when camping . Amazing what these RC's can do. Thanks for sharing.

Cool toy! I was wanting to get a 40 body for my sons Traxxus Teluride RC.

Pretty awesome!! took the AWS.FJ40 on the shakedown run: Definitely needs more weight in the front. Have to change the drag brake and add an On/Off switch. Tires did great! Enough torque to and gearing to pull wheelies on gravel. Over all satisfaction level: 8 out of 10!

Here's what I did to get more weight up front. Added Crosman air soft 6mm plastic BB's to each front tire. Fill each tire with about 1/2 full of BB's. Play with final amount when you feel the front end is staying planted to the rock. I actually added to rear tire too, for better rear traction. Slows rig down just a little but holds to steep rock climbs better. I will try to post some pics of my Scorpion tomorrow. I have a rock garden out in the front yard, and used to take mine to the sandia foothill rocks. Lots of fun.

I'll look into BB's.. I was thinking sticky wheel weights
