I cant ever leave anything alone so currently it is sitting as crawlerx blade smc 5.5 which I am likeing alot the issue is i cant figure out what to do for a body.....

I like the fj

Re: need help guys ive ive chopped everything up blade smc 5.5 build
 

i hate to admit that i like the raptor. im more of a chevy guy but it fits quite well!

Re: need help guys ive ive chopped everything up blade smc 5.5 build
 

i was digging the raptor body the only issue is that it rubs just a bit, so i would have to open the wheel wells up, i had to do the same with the fj so i could get them on the chassis as low as possible... I was thinking of picking up one of those usa-1 models or a raminator to see what kind of fitment ide get out of those

FJ gets my vote, looks sick "thumbsup"

Re: need help guys ive ive chopped everything up blade smc 5.5 build
 

I dig the FJ also.

Could you give me a width measurement of that raptor body?

Re: need help guys ive ive chopped everything up blade smc 5.5 build
 

mgcrawler

the width of the raptor body is 3.5 inches and the length is 8.75 inches

cheers!!!

Re: need help guys ive ive chopped everything up blade smc 5.5 build
 

here are a couple more pictures of the fj and the blade chassis I have the rc4wd wheels with swampers on them but i am thinking of getting mclaws for it.

Re: need help guys ive ive chopped everything up blade smc 5.5 build
 

ok guys I got the styrene needed to get this fj streched for the length of the 5.5 chassis im going to start a new thread now!!!!!!

Re: need help guys ive ive chopped everything up blade smc 5.5 build
 

For a crawler go with the FJ. Where can I find one of those Raptor bodies? Does that fake engine on the hood come off easy?

Re: need help guys ive ive chopped everything up blade smc 5.5 build
 

the raptor didnt have an engine on it. i found mine at walmart it came with a trailer with a 4wheeler on it as well, it was like 12.00$ and it was orange and yellow before i sprayed it black
