1.9 FJ Cruiser build

[jeepscx10]

Well i am starting a build thread for my little sisters' build we are starting. She currently has a stock Mini Rock Crawler and likes it but wants something more scale. So instead of getting an scx i found threads on here about doing a mrc scale conversion. The plan is to get a l trail chassis and swap everything over and go from there.

heres a list of upgrades i plan on doing to it.

aluminum chubs and knuckles once the stockers break
might need to figure out longer driveshafts due to the wheelbase of the fj is 9.5 over stock over 8.5
maybe longer shocks depending on where the body sits once i get the chassis and the body
as far as wheels and tires we are going to use the axial 1.9 beadlocks and 1.9 chisels she currently has on her mrc
Plan on 4 linking front and rear
Have already waterproofed the stock esc and put the reciever in an axial reciever box
just picked up a fj body and a spare 1.9 axial beadlock and 1.9 flatiron and scale center caps about an hour ago from someone on scale 4x4
thats all i have so far

if there are things i havent thought of that are necessary please let me know.

Heres a pic of the body

We both are excited to get this thing done. cant wait for the first tandem run with my scx hilux and her fj.
