| Tan FJ Cruiser
Well this is my first attempt at a Scaler. It started life as an AX10, but that didn't last too long, about 4 packs. Some of the basics: Nikko FJ body -The poor girl at Toys'R Us asked if I wanted a warranty X-Trail frame Axial running gear Novak 55t w/ 16 tooth RC4WD Mud Thrashers Axial 1.9 bead locks cheap ass ESC 3R winch Scratch built bumper, cooler w/ bracket, cross members, shortened rear driveshaft, 4-Link rear susp. and decals. and a Bass Pro Shop Kayak A thank you to every one here that gave me inspiration and this sickness My wife thinks I need my head examined. Enjoy, Brandon |

Honestly this is my first scale rig, and the only tires I have to comare to are the stock Axial 2.2's(which suck). The truck weighs in 5lb 4oz. With the stock foams from RC4WD I wouldn't recomend these foams without beadlocks. I'll be bringing it to the NERCC July event. Quote:
http://baystateoffroad.com/ The winch is non operational right now, until I get a better radio. The stinger and the spare tire are from a Nylnt Jeep I destroyed a couple years ago. | ||
