Default Scale fj.

Well might be a long time in completion but it starts with revo driveshafts, axial ax10 tranny, xtm x factor axles, and probably a k2-3s chassis when i decide to order it.. Well, its between an fj and a blazer.

Are you planning on making a body or using one off of something else?

Well it was either make something along the lines of this.

Or just the pro line blazer.

Right now is more of the planning and gathering parts stage.

You got it. so far i have the drive shafts, axles, wheels and tires, receiver, and the esc(mamba max). now its time to make some $$ for the tranny, chassis and body. i'll buy the tranny first then the chassis cause i might just make one.

Wheel base: around 14.5in

ANd i dont now how im gonna post pics since they are on my computer and i cant post attachments since i dont have a star so im still tryen to figure out that one.

You can host your pics at http://photobucket.com/ and post them from there. It's free and works for me.

A little update. i got the front and rear shocks on, along with some rear tubing. Front shocks are on there only until i get some more tubing for new shock towers and then some piggy backs from rc4wd. The rear tubing needs alittle work but i seriously need to find something to bend this tubing with rather then my hands and a vice.




As you can see the servo isnt atached yet. so yeah.

Well here is it so far, body is there until i get a silverado body or something. I still have to build new front shock towers paint the chassis and once i get the body finish the back part of the truck. and the tape measure inside the back is only there cause i was trying to determine the height of the body.
