just wastched the vid....that thing crawls pretty damn good for almost no suspension, also very stable on those off camber situations.

the shell looks sweet too, perfect wheelbase

Thanks, I'm running the Stock Tamiya Silver Can with the lowest Pinion you can go 16t. I'm planning on running this Rig in the new "ORCRC CC/Trials" class so I need to keep it "Within the Tech Guidlines" which I've been following @ http://www.rcjimsplace.com/invision/...howtopic=13632. So we'll see what happens next.

chafey · 10-05-2005, 01:39 PM

Great looking truck. What shocks are you using?

Sweet vid. nice pics too, I'll be locking up my jero later and getting some vid of that in the trails.

How much longer is the hummer chassie than the F-150. I noticed that the Fj40 body doesn't fit the TA02 as well as your hummer.

I'd sure like to be there for the first running of this class......

Thanks guys!

Stock in the rear Tamiya Aluminium Hop-up shocks in the front, Spacers removed in all shocks to make them longer with more travel, and Cut Clod springs.

Shaved and worked the arms to get more travel and flex too

Is the Wheelbase adjustable on yours? I thought they were pretty close at the longer wheelbse?

OldSchoolCrawler · 11-12-2005, 09:41 PM

I never noticed any adjustability to mine. Guess I'll have to look again.

Sorry Misread your post

Had a picture of the Jero in my head :? I just got back from Snowboarding and i'm wiped

crawlerkid · 11-13-2005, 01:32 AM

what model of tamiya TC is that based on? ive got an U.D.T- unidentified driving tamiya. i think it might be a ta-01. i see wider axles, low ratios and.... moabs in its future. Its a great rally car even with worn, 4 wheel burnout class slicks. Great awd system.

Bukwylde · 08-14-2010, 12:22 PM

I jumped my 1:1 fj40 once... I think my buddy might still have some scars from being hit by my chain bag! And it broke my parachute seat. Fj40s are tough but not very graceful!
