Default Project 4Runner

I have been wanting something with a bit more speed than the MCRC for a while now and finally got a good deal in a trade for a micro SCT. I also had this
chopped up 4Runner body that I got in a previous trade with a MCRC.

I'll let the pictures explain what I have done so far.













And a beauty shot:


Since then I have done some more filler and primed again. Will be making a new more narrow chassis soon. Not sure what I should make it out of though.

Specs on my Micro SCT:
Scheer Carbon fiber chassis
Losi xcelleron 8700kv bl system w/ tuner card
Losi 7.4v 300mAh 2s 15c Lipo
Brass pinions
HR lower a arms front and rear
Orange alluminum servo saver
Losi 3 wire servo and am radio
Traxxas tx
micro deans

What do you think so far?

Here are some update pics with the new tires and a second coat of primer. Just finishing up the main body work.

That thing is looking pretty sweet! So are the micro SCT's good for shredding through dirt and grass?

Thanks! Haven't had a chance to try it outside yet, but it definitely shreds up the carpet

Thanks Liighthead.
I'm assuming you meant the under/inside of the body:


But just in case:



And body-on pics after chopping the chassis a bit:



I will try to get a running vid soon

Thanks. Not much flex since she barely weighs anything. Mostly just for speed right now.

Been really busy, haven't much time to work on her. Director of the summer camp I have worked at for the last 5 years got fired last weak and the new guy is an idiot so I have been taking care of things. Hopefully I will get something done this weekend.
