Default 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

They asked me the same thing when I bought my nikko fj. I wonder if the warranty would cover what we do to them?
Nice looking fj.

I find that in sticky soil the center lugs fill up quick, but the outers stay clean and still dig.
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.

Why yes it is, I got authorization from Bob (the owner) and he loves it.

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.
