Yep, one of the best I've seen....... Where did you get the D-shackles I need those. Do you remember the size on the screw.

I love your build, this fj is the best i've seen

Fracture · 01-04-2009, 06:03 PM

Thanks for all the continued compliments and interest, I am always amazed at the amount of comments! I can try and thank you with a vid of this thing going

sorry about the low quality, I might be able to get some better driving in once its fixed up again.

My mate filmed my Fj up at his dads place, not the best quality but you get the idea. I was suprised with how well it got through mud and clay, and with the strength of the new 3rd member rc4wd sent me (the rear axle used the original design so I ended up stripping the gears yet again:-()

Unfortunately I didnt fall in love while I was away, instead I was busy working on my first car, including painting it orange... all up it cost less than the FJ did so Im pretty pleased

Not sure what size they are, but I found them at the local hardware store, smallest ones they had. Zinc coated I think. Also try marine/boating supply stores, they had some very good ones - they were just a bit expensive

ElChupoCabre · 01-04-2009, 06:21 PM

Still one of, if not THE best build I have ever seen! Great video too.

F-150Highlift · 01-04-2009, 07:26 PM

Yeah, X2 on the video, that thing is awesome. I have to weather my willys truck now!

Thanks, glad you liked the vid, I had it the truck sitting around for a long time then decided I better get it out and on film

First time painting on the toyota, its a brush job but It came up pretty good after sanding cutting and polishing. Dad painted a lot of the large areas though..

neightfrog · 01-12-2009, 09:43 PM

its missing one thing, a person in the driver seet. if you had a gi joe in the driver seat you would never know it was a model

Awesome build man. Very cool. And as for those snow treads, it isnt a disgrace to scale, check this out. My buddy does conversion kits for snow treads and mostly does toyotas. I dont have any pics of the Toyotas hes done unfortunately. This is a Land Rover but you get the idea :P

Definitely my favorite FJ scale build.

Evilsage · 07-12-2010, 06:44 PM

truly amazing eye for the details, when I fist saw one of the pics it looked almost real!

rcjeepbuilder · 07-13-2010, 09:11 PM

Yea, Fracture had in my mind built the coolest most scale FJ ever. I do plan to build one just like it from brass and copper in memory of him and all that he had done for the scale RC community! Thanks Fracture and I hope we see you again!!!!!!

jonmorehouse · 07-18-2010, 07:07 AM

after reading this thread front to back i have to offer my compliments as well, amazing build. wonder what it's doing now?

tony_hobby · 12-26-2011, 03:49 PM

magnificent project

twissted · 12-27-2011, 02:44 PM

If their is anyone that inspires me it's this guy. I fall off my chair everytime I look into what has been done! The body work is secound to none. If only his drivetrain would fallow suit. I have played with such and in order to do so you have to go into a larger scale. But the bottem line is you get the feel and look that I'm shure fracture after. That and I'm shure, fracture would come up with more and over the top engines. As well as drivetrains.
