| Fj 2.2
Ever since watching some of the videos from Scale Nats I have been wanting to build something nice so I asked Kaetwo if he would build me a FJ chassis. I still have a few things to get but I have been collecting the parts as he has been working on my chassis. I received his custom work in the mail today and I was amazed at his quality of work . Brett I appreciate all your time in this quality build. Your craftsmanship and precision are nothing short of amazing. I hope I can do it justice. Here are some of the pics cataloging the build... |

Some things on the needed list....a good motor, winch, paint, styrene, hands bro steering, 7955tg, fxr, some other scale stuff. I dont plan on running a fifth wheel, but there is a nice spot for one if I did. Its just too heavy in 2.2s. |

I think that it's too much angle where the front driveshaft and front axle meet (second pic).?. Sorry for my english. Am i right or wrong? My new honcho kit is exactly the way. |

I dunno, we will see how she fairs once we get her settled and adjusted shock wise.
