RC FJ40 buildup

[Mike C]

Bumper turned out pretty good, tire swing out works great.

Why didn't you powder coat the frame - what a waste of time for a frame off....









Kewl.

That is really cool, excellent fab work.

 

[Relix]

Still very awesome

 

[Relix]

Looks like you could use this...
Interested in a decal sheet that came w/ the original Pro Line FJ-40 to help dress your rig up?

I posted a link to your buildup on one of the RC car forums I goto

First, thank you again for the kind replys And on the sticker sheet, I have something better on the way

First time out on the rocks with it, I was very impressed with what it could do. I did roll it, several times, and flopped it on its side. But I wanted to push the truck, and see what it could do. I didn't build it to baby it

Full gallery from todays comp, I didn't take to many pictures during the comp today. I forgot my bigger memory card

[Mike C]

Yeah no updates yet, after busting ass on this for 2 weeks I needed some time to just relax. I am not sure when I will do more work on this one yet.

Finally got my badges from Germany last night. I painted them and glued them in place last night, went out side this morning and snapped some pictures

that is nuts.

 

[usmcruiser]

That's pretty sick mang. I want a piggie RC.

Where did you get the body for that?

 

[Mike C]

Thanks, the body is made by pro-line and called the bushwacker. They used to make a fj40 body with the proper hinges and front bib, along with some other details. But Toyota wanted to much in licence fees. So they changed it to get around that.

 

[concretejungle]

this is freaking amazing. Maybe this should be in hardcore!

 

[redrustbucket]

Where did you order those badges from? I've got a few of those bodies and I'd love to get ahold of some of those badges.

Are you on rccrawler.com as well? Some of that stuff looks familiar. Nice work.

 

[bad_religion_au]

Wow!!! It even has the cruiser lean built right in!!

seeing this has come up a couple of times in this thread, and the frame was made from the service manual dimensions... must be that it's built into the frame geometry?

 

[bad_religion_au]

OMG I am absolutely speechless
