Default Toyota Landcruiser FJ80 build.

Got my used Losi MRC last week,,so now I can start on this build
The body I got a couple of month ago.

Gearbox is mounted, using a Midgard Mini scale chassis.



Here's a little mock up.









I nned some shorter shocks than the Losi's, any suggestions ???

Have a look at the Losi mini-t shocks. They come in a pack of four and are around 50-60mm long. Maybe too short for you, though?
