Great looking rig, looks great so far.
I do have a question though, i read the full forum, but i think imissed somthing, are you front lower links shorter that the back?
They are mounted in hte same position, but you front links are at a steeper angle, am i correct? or just trippin?

Yeah, I know. I can't bring myself to paint the FJ40 yet cuz it's the only one I got. I also just picked up another power wagon body when I found out they were discontinued.

You're right the rears are Revo turnbuckles which are about 150 mm end to end, and the fronts are Revo pushrods which run about 125mm end to end.

rkrawler thanks for clearing up my question.
The only suggestion i have is to move your steering links, like said earlier. here is a pic of mine just to give you an idea!

OK thanks for the suggestion. I haven't really gotten to test it out yet, just a little bashing around the backyard. I'll be tweaking it here and there and post more picks as I get the lid painted.

I've got most of it done, which is cool since I can at least run it. Major things left are painting the body, tweaking the steering, putting the red rings on and cutting foams. After that I still need to install a toggle switch on my DX3 cuz I don't like the stock momentary setup. Hopefully everything should be done soon....

OK it's been done awhile so I thought I'd post picks of it with the lid painted.
