Thanks! Got this one for $30. Good deal for a nikko fj these days

Got a few accessories mounted up. Had a highlift jack, shovel, pry bar, cooler, and sleeping pads. All held on with my homemade bungies. I'm glad I made yellow ones cause they go good with the blue FJ I had more stuff, but it started looking bulky up there on the roof rack. This is a nice balance.

how do you like those axles? I'm thinkin of gettin them!

[Mr.Joshua]

Pretty sweet Steele! I'm more of a Jeep guy but I really like the looks off this FJ.

Also...that before pic has got to be one of the ugliest trucks out of the box I have EVER seen man!

I really like them! They are a good width for this body and decently realistic looking, especially with the red diff covers. I stripped out the original ring/pinion gears in the front and the rear and replaced them with the heavy duty gears and haven't had a problem sense.

Thanks Mr Joshua! I also love the jeeps but thought I would give this a try. It's incredible how that ugly nikko rig really has this hidden beauty hiding in it

[steele42]

Had a little "I'm thankful for rock crawling" rock crawl with heinie and rcrick. Not much to say except I'm really impressed with how this fj is turning out. I'll just let the pictures do the talking

I've been recieving a little bit of flack from some members of a local forum about my switch design, so I went to the experts in the electronics section of this fine forum. If you are curious or are thinking about doing this switch mod yourself, check out the great info that has been provided in that thread.

Lipo's on a switch

Helpful information is so helpful

[heinie_21]

I wonder if lipos drain themselves unplugged sitting on the shelf. Cuz that in my mind is the same as a broken circuit by a switch....

Ya agreed! I'm just sitting here wasting time on RCC anyway

The whole daylight saving thing is tough when it makes it dark when you get off work, so sometime you just have to adjust. A generator and a couple of shop lights will do the trick.

Thanks guys! That's how we roll

Love the rig. I'll be looking out for a 1/10 scale cruiser body. I got a 1/18 but it's way to small.
