Default What would you do?

If you had this sitting on your bench, what would you do with it?

I have these minus the trans waiting for the next build. IERC Merge X Evo is what rails they're mating to. Utron body is the plan with cut stock flares off. But I want someone to make a camper for it so it can still portray the normal FJC look.

I’ve got this on my bench and I’m building what you already built haha. My version of what the Phoenix should be. There’s too many good options is the problem. Bad Oscar’s new chassis is available but I know that’s not exactly what you’re after. I think a chopped up c-channel with a sand scorcher body and some tube work could make this a pretty cool/unique rig

I prefer straight axles, so I would sell it.

I hate to admit it, but f10 portals are starting to turn me to the dark side.

Too many options for sure… I don’t really have any flat rail based rig anymore, so that’s a possibility.

One of the many ideas I had was to pick up a fordyce and portal swap it

There are many choices. I have used in the past the Rock Pirates rails, GSpeed rails and used the stock c-channel rails.

The 3 other aftermarket rails that have been on my list to build someday are the IERC Merge, the new GSpeed V2-C1 rails and the Zoku rails. The Zoku rails look interesting and still use the Phoenix front and rear body mounts.

It'll be interesting to see which route you take. I'll be here patiently waiting to see this new build come together!

well based on my time here I have seen you do so many cool things ... I would like to pick one of the IERC merge, poizd-rc rails or even a uc fab moonbuggy but like I said I believe you done some of the mentioned... regardless if you already did it every build is different at the end with the many choices we have nowadays.

I love my gspeed chassis', so thats pretty well my go-to. But, i swapped my gshot rig over from a gspeed chassis to a GK pro chassis. Man, it just works so good. Tempted to get another set n build a c2 rig with them

I appreciate all the feedback!

I’m still at a loss here what to do… I think this pile of parts may just sit until I get some small odds and ends squared away on my other rigs.
