Sweet rigs man, Way to use what you have, first time I have seen a scaler built with the stock scorpion chassis. You pulled it off great |

well after couple gtg... i felt like we need some more edge to our current body... since hummer was original gray and FJ already have 1 make over to all white... its time for hummer to step up the game... the only i need now are those hummer wheel (8 lugs)... so hope every body like it... cause i do (place around santa fe dam) |

You know what was really nice about the white FJ Cruiser was the fact that Toyota recently release a limited edition white bodied FJ Cruiser w/ all black trim including wheels... Not that I do not like the yellow / black theme I do.! P.S. Thanks for the info... |

well the main reason of changing from white to yellow was that the paint i use not stick to the body good enough (not tamiya paint that is ) but i have an extra FJ body that might be done in white again or pearl white. x-trail definitely been on my mind when i started the build but at the time i just want to see if AX10 stock chassis have the capability of going shorter for scale and still work with full articulation... i'm happy with the result have no problem on the rock... however, i think i might try to build my own chassis (if i can :-() so i can mount the shock straight up more scale. | |
