Awesome! Any word on the wheelbase?

Another Land Cruiser body...interesting. Looks to be a 2-piece body which is unique for such a cheap truck. This body should be good for small builds like CFX, CMX, and CC-01's.

lol thunder tiger

but hey the wheels from the last one (ford) are pretty neat. between this and barrage im surprised there aren't more aftermarket bodies for this scale and/or wheelbase. like proline's sumo.

hairyguy4 · 12-10-2018, 02:15 PM

Cool but it’s a 40 series not a 60

durok · 12-10-2018, 07:06 PM

I wish it was a 10" wheelbase so the body could be used on a different chassis...

Not a fan of the CR-12.

Maybe it'll be a stretched version, but since the Ford is only 9", I doubt it.

The pic is blurry, but it still looks like a better job that the latest ProLine Land Cruiser abomination!

Tamiya still does a Land Cruiser better, but this is not too shabby, and a hell of a lot better than Pro-Line's attempt.

durok · 12-11-2018, 03:32 AM

MUCH better than the ProLine, and pretty decent wheel/tire combo as well... thanks for the updated pic!

I'm not a fan of this truck either so hopefully it fits the MST CFX/CMX which is an awesome truck.

This looks much better than Proline's, but still no as good as Tamiya's.

Shinchu · 12-11-2018, 10:32 AM

i agree with jato and soze the scale here is much better and proportioned more realistically than the proline.
**i wonder though, how deep is that bed or is it the flat-top "tonneau cover" treatment?
Tamiya and rc4wd would be my go-to for an FJ though.

but hey on a budget, this isn't a bad rig!

Of course, but this looks to have separate molded styrene/nylon grill/headlights assembly! These are pretty decent somewhat smaller scale trucks with a few cheap/free mods, I like it!

The Tamiya body does have a separate, hard plastic grille as well as mirrors.

soze · 12-11-2018, 12:36 PM

Tamiya Body.

Shinchu · 12-11-2018, 01:14 PM

pretty sure he was talking about proline's version not having separate hard plastic details.

but yeah i think we all agree Tamiya is the KING of great looking lexan.

Natedog · 12-11-2018, 02:42 PM

Yes, Tamiya is king of lexan bodies, but I was referring to Prolines super weird looking and only lexan without separate grill etcetera attempt.

soze · 12-11-2018, 04:45 PM

Yeah, I think I just read it wrong, that coupled with Jato's response.

Humm I am rebuilding one of my SCXs and was thinking about the Pro-line FJ-40 body I haven't seen one in person what are the issues? I liked and used the Tamiya FJ many times over the years I liked it but the wheel base was just a bit short IMO.
