Default NOP Fj40 #2 with home made parts

This my second chance to build FJ40 hardbody from Skynet ,
#1 is already sold out : http://www.scale4x4rc.org/forums/showthread.php?t=32990
Try to build as much as possible close to the original look, wish me luck
This my original plan :
Body : 1/8 from Skynet/Aoshima
Axle : Axial
Gearbox: HPI WK
Tires: trail buster RC4WD à dirt grabber or mud thrashers, any good ? pls advise
Motor : 55T from Berg/Enroute
Electronics : Novak Rooster, 3PK
Battery : Nimh or Lipo
Some parts are homemade (use lathe machining, manual bending, etc ) :
- Chassis
- Suspension ; Leaf spring, shackle
- 1:1 Transfer case , gear from F350 pinion
- 1.9 Inner beadlock + hub caps
- Front Bumper
- Winch + roller

hope you enjoy....

Default ***With V8 SOUND****

Cant wait although the designer said the soud module still not finished yet. Sound quality depend on the speaker and box.
For this round I use ex-Tamiya MFU (4Ohm, 5Watt), and the quality of playback video depend on the recorder (canon pocket camera).
Enjoy the Fj and the sound...
