Oops, I just realized that one of my updates from early August didn't make it here. I like the extra wheel speed on 3s lipo, so I decided I want to run it all the time. I added a little velcro and will someday adjust the voltage going to the LEDs so that I can turn them on again.

You must not have read this thread then. Being a n00b has nothing to do with not being able to read.....:?


BTW, the answer you are looking for was on page 2, the page before this page.

Has LEDs(headlights/tail lights), every part can be removed via screws, grill, mirrors, nerf-bars, bumpers and also the metal roof rack. That's the best part about this body is that it has a real metal roof rack, unlike the plastic ones on those other bodies.

Do you have any problems with the front tires rubbing?

Thanks, I was actually able to find one. I own a 1:1 FJ Cruiser which is why i really wanted to find a body for my CC-01.

I had to trim the front bumper of the body, but no rubbing since then. Nice work on picking up one of these bodies. I look forward to seeing what you do with it.

Well i took my FJ out for its maiden voyage, learned a few things.

1. Pro-Line Chisel tires are not good trail tires.
2. The brick wall must go, actually it already has as of last night, however I now have to remount the body and maybe make new links. Everything i did was given room for to wall.
3. I need to put limiters in the shocks, or mabe find shorter ones, i had to much lift in the front making it a little top heavy.
4. Cant wait for my GPM steering kit to arrive!!

I hope you dont mind Schlabinski, but I am making almost a copy of your FJ, short of the 1.55s, but after last night performance that may change sooner or later.

Super nice work!!
I'm new to the whole scene but like the others said, your work on that FJ is inspirational!
I'm running a stock Land Cruiser kit.
If you don't mind, where'd you get that body?

After a couple of years of competing and a couple years of rest, I decided the FJ Cruiser deserved a complete teardown...

Retired from competition, I de-waterproofed it (I'm not big on running my trucks under water) and tidied up the electronics...

Added a little more steering power...

With the help of Axial parts, made a more elegant 3 link...

Replaced the silver lock nuts with black...

And replaced the unsightly blue plastic knuckles with some GPM aluminum bits...

Thanks for looking.

Very nice rig! Noticed you were in Portland. If you ever make it over to Central Oregon give me a shout. Almost got my Pajero done, and want to have a CC01 trail run. Got a few other guys locally looking at picking them up.
