| 1965 Toyota FJ40 LandCruiser by Proline
I just got my TRX4 Sport kit and the longer links to extend the wheelbase to 12.8 so the new FJ body will fit. This can be the build thread... But, I need some ideas for at least some interior - any suggestions? I got the body in and it's really wide. I would even be happy with just a front seat and dash - I could fab up a flat rear floor with styrene and mount it in the body. Got a universal light kit too, so at least head and taillights. |

Will the proline interior fit? Won’t be accurate but it will certainly look better than no interior IMO. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

You should have started this in the Traxxas TRX-4 section! I'm glad to finally see a build with this body. I'm an FJ fan, but this body looks bad painted in this color that Proline chose. You are most likely going to have to go with a universal interior from Proline or another company. |

Might be able to find an old Scx10 JK body and use that. If I recall those bodies were pretty wide as well. I did that when I got the CRC JK scx10ii. Again, not accurate but will still do the job. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Good ideas guys... I do have a JK axial body with the cage I could cut up, but I hate to do that yet - it's still a very nice body with driver and co-driver. Spoiler alert...color... I wanted a vintage color and the darn polycarbonate paints are a hopeless choice..but alas...Corsa Gray with white top. Last edited by Browneye; 03-20-2019 at 11:40 AM. |

Corsa gray would look killer on that body. Can't wait to see it!

Found a good 3-ch receiver on ebay, it came in...is so old it won't work with my dx5c - it's dsm and my radio only goes back to dsm2 or dsmr. Sent it back. Post office is taking 7-10 days to ship stuff across the country. Not sure why they're so slow but it's noticeable. Ordered a HH 550 27T, dropped it in my cart, plus $8 to ship, paypal, and it confirmed 2 motors I don't want and billed my card $108. $80 over charged and still waiting for a shipment I don't want. HW1080 esc DS3218 servo with alloy horn 8215 body post set Found a vendor with SSD brass portal covers in stock - 100-some grams for the front axle. I have some nice gray steelies mounted up with BFG Krawlers that will be perfect. Ordered SSD locking hub and axle hub centers. SSD plain front bumper - the sport thing with hoop and winch is too much for this old rig. Still looking for an interior. Opened the box.... Last edited by Browneye; 03-22-2019 at 08:20 PM. |

Very nice Browneye! Corsa Grey is fine color choice. Should look slick with the medium grey steelies. The HW 1080 is all I need for a crawler now , its buttery. Enjoy your bag of motors...lol . WTF eh? ...oh yeah, and the forward weight down low. You are set! The FJ40 will crawl! |
