Default Rocka's Toyoda BJ40 Cruiser with 8274 QuickSand-winch

Got a kit and have to get this Cruiser out in nature.- as soon as possible.
Chassis is a Gelande II, we'll known so no big pics about. Just shimmed and greased the axles, threadlock all screws, then on to the body.

All those cool Cruisers looking as new, I go the usedlook- way.

Still missing some electronics, Bluebird BLS already inside.

Tires changed to1.9 Kryptons, giving a little more steroidlook....

Looking pretty B.A. So far man! Everyone looks like they're having so much fun with these little guys! I dig it... As far as rust goes, I think it'd be cool if some spots of the white top were rusty. Granted I'm no expert - And I'm not sure if the tops of 1:1 FJ-40's were fiberglas, but it's an idea...

Plug´n´play ...

Well, this was a quick&dirty job, I still have to smoothen out some edges and do a little paintjob, but for a first glance, this works

Playin´in the sand with D110 (RCModlex), Chevy (Vaterra Ascender) and the Toyota BJ40 Cruiser (RC4WD). Just changed the wheels to get some expirience in the sand... weight plays a big role in the sand, the D110 is over 5 kg, the Chevy little over 3 kg, my Cruiser 4,3 kg

Take your time and enjoy
