|  >>> Nao's FJ40 project <<<
Hello everyone! I found this very very cool body about month ago on Japanese website. The company called " Aoshima " ( Skynet?) makes this 1/8 RTR FJ40. It's pretty heavy with original box with chassis, radio, battery...... almost 4kg!!!! So, I called my brother and told him buy them and take a part!!!! Send me just Body  >>>>>>> I am not start anything yet... My plan is > Mountainner chassis, axle, wheel. > Not sure about the tire. > R2 ( maybe...?) > Winch. > Lights. > A lot of homemade scale parts  The body is just sitting on the chassis now, Wow!!! the original wheel base is almost perfect!!!! |

Those are pretty nice! I really like the blue one. Your brother should send you more of those so you can sell them to some of here in the states. Keep in mind I'm only in RI.... not far from you, so shipping would be cheap |

It looks like the length is pretty short, do you have a measurement? I'm thinking k2-3s with shorter links to fit under the wells and 1.9 mud terrain tires and wheels.
