| New FJ Build
Yea yea, typical XC Fj I know. Intro. With the meet coming up in April, I need to get the XC ready. So yesterday I got a list of things I needed to get it running. That list included a new body. After talking with my dad and explaining to him that it would cost more to use a lexan body because I would need to extend the rear (I was going to use the Defender) he agreed to get the FJ off of Hobbypeople. That wasnt all I needed. We went back to tower, and I got a Speed control (Teu-101bk because my Teu was messed up, and I reall like this esc), Highlift rims for my BFG's, and some body post I probally wont use. I'll end up using velcro. The plans. Trying to make my Fj look as scale as possible. The roof rack will include a sleeping back (as seen below), and functional towstrap (seen below, and yes it's red, but thats all I had), A toolbox made out of a servo case, and some various tools to dig the truck out of trouble. I havent decided if I want to use a spare tire somewhere on the truck. Probally not, but I'll see when the body gets here. The pictures: Chassis The manditory flex shot Electronics layout (will change with new ESC) Suspension droop. were the trucks shocks sit on the ground Overall Accesorys Hand tools+sleeping bag Tow strap. The suspension is pretty much run off of the droop, but if it works good right? Comments+Critics welcome. ^_^ |
