where's the mud sticker?

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

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.

I got the badges from a member on RCCrawler, here is the post with all the info on them http://www.rccrawler.com/forum/showpost.php?p=685594&postcount=42

I go by Etype R over on rccrawler and scale4x4rc.us

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?

It almost seems that way After driving it some more this weekend, the lean has become even more severe. I think the toque twist from the transmission is causing the driver side to lift more, and arc the springs more on that side.

Everyone loves how realistic the truck acts on the rocks, I will have to get some video of it next weekend.

The FJ has a few more trail marks.....

I took some Video of it yesterday as well, I need to do some editing before I upload it though. Its a bitch trying to take video with a camcorder while driving the truck.... Camcorder in the right hand, controller in the left hand

I hate editing video.... Took a couple hours to edit it, and a few hours of converting, deleting, and converting again until I found the right settings that looked good, and kept the file small enough.

WOW

Man, that is one incredible R/C 40. Your attention to detail is awesome.
Slickest lil 40 I've ever seen. The video is way cool too.
I have one of those lame Trailblazer I customized to match my 40
but it is truly a poser of an R/C. Open diff and rear wheel drive only. Sheeesh.
On a much smaller scale and not NEARLY so cool as your labor of love
I made some real 4 wheel drive micro 40s. Sorry for the highjack.
Dang that 40 you made makes me green with envy!
