| Heritage Edition FJC
I picked up one of the HPI things. Not bad out of the box RTR. Upgrades are preferred Tear down and adding some goodies. The stock shocks are superb. Before and after paint. Also did the Tamiya headlight bezel mod. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Test run. Great rig with some upgrades. Honestly out of the box it only needs tires and and steering servo. Stock steering servo is terrible as are the tires. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Nice colour body. The Venture drives well stock, but a few mods and it's really good.

| Re: Heritage Edition FJC Initially I'd agree, but recently put them back on and gave them a chance and was shocked to say the least. The tread put me off visually at first but now properly ran in they stick to most things and clear mud quickly. Give em a chance you may be surprised!

Thank you! The Tamiya FJ Cruiser body parts tree which includes the bezel fits perfectly. You need to cut out the crummy looking molded bezel and glue in the tamiya one. I think it looks way better. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk | |

| Re: Heritage Edition FJC Ty for the info. It sounds like something I would probably mess up. And since I cant seem to find another body in the sand color right now, I dont think I want to risk it
