|  Toy-Goat-a Yeah, I know, I been a little quiet lately. So I'll make it up to ya with a little Yota build. FJ40 hardbody, BB-51 chassis poking out the front, divorced T-case, Geolandars, and more than enough scale touches to keep you entertained. It will be painted. This pukey yellow is for school buses. I may or may not narrow the Geos. Depends on how they look with the axles. Some mockup shots, using the 51R (which will sadly give its life for this build): |

I had to trim about 1/16 off some inner bracing to let the rear shock towers slip inside the floor. Other than that, it drops right in like it was made for it Quote:
 Started the build already I couldn't handle that silver grille, so I painted it white. Last edited by microgoat; 08-22-2007 at 09:23 PM. | ||

No room for the Delrin skid, so I screwed it right to the frame rail. The t-case hits the floor. This is a very tight build.Also blasted away the school-bus yellow. | |

| Scale body mounts (front and rear) Don't mind the yellow, the bottom of the floor will be painted black (along with the frame) |

| A little quicker, but not quick. I won't have axles til September (what's that tell ya?) but I can still do some building. Finished the LHD conversion (also moved the wipers to the bottom of the windshield), detailed and replaced the emblems, and mounted the motor and GD-600. I hope it clears the links. I know it'll clear the servo, but just. |

| The t-case is a cut-down Pede with a Jato input shaft. Anyone know the voltage these lights are supposed to run on? They're incandescent bulbs. |
