First scaler that has my interest since the rc4wds Gelande cruiser. Like that it has a transfer case, HPI has been paying attention "thumbsup"

Re: New Toyota FJ body scaler
 

its good to see another company get involved

Re: New Toyota FJ body scaler
 

I'm looking forward to seeing/reading more about this- it looks like it could be a fun rig. Doesn't Axial have some involvement with the HPI brand name? ( I'm not sure about it, that's why I'm asking. "thumbsup")

Re: New Toyota FJ body scaler
 

Only in that an employee at axial used to be a designer at HPI... I think.

Re: New Toyota FJ body scaler
 

There's actually a few designers that were at HPI back when the Blitz was released that are now at Axial. You can see similarities in a few of the caged HPI cars and caged Axial cars.

Better front end shot.

Re: New Toyota FJ body scaler
 

I hope it the wheelbase is around 290mm to be true to scale. I think I have ocd it bothers me seeing so many different sizes of scalers.

Re: New Toyota FJ body scaler
 

Scale is kind of a relative term. It's whatever is pleasing to the eye.

Re: New Toyota FJ body scaler
 

Pan hard and tierod not parallel... bump steer out of the box?

Re: New Toyota FJ body scaler
 

You cant even see the tie rod. Its BTA.:roll:

Re: New Toyota FJ body scaler
 

Drag link... tie-rod, same diff... the part that goes from the servo to the knuckle, that part is still in front. :lmao::roll:

Re: New Toyota FJ body scaler
 

You can't tell if the pan hard is bent or not. I'm not jumping to any conclusions till I can see everything."thumbsup"

Re: New Toyota FJ body scaler
 

Any new teaser info??

Re: New Toyota FJ body scaler
 

I wonder about the "scaleness" of the BTA steering. I can only recall seeing that on medium/heavy duty trucks.

Re: New Toyota FJ body scaler
 

Also done on modified off-road trucks, granted mainly with full hydro. However that seems like an odd detail to worry about for the sake of "scaleness" when we are still talking about a lexan body car with body posts and single wheel nuts. :lol:

Re: New Toyota FJ body scaler
 

Scale or not, BTA steering will definitely help with not getting hung up on things.

Re: New Toyota FJ body scaler
 

And Land Rovers and Land Cruisers

Re: New Toyota FJ body scaler
 

Ok HPI, wheres the press release? Holidays are over, back to work!

Re: New Toyota FJ body scaler
 

All this and nothing...just quiet. Probably be waiting until RCX show in March...

Re: New Toyota FJ body scaler
 

You can expect photos from the international toy fair in Nuremberg later this month.
