My Landcruiser 40 build
 

Building rig completely stock first except for bearings and servo arm, then I'll upgrade from there. Here's a pic of the rear axle with extra spacers to reduce slop. I also locked the front diff using g parts lockout.

All finished. Now let the upgrades begin! I'm undecided on what color to paint it. Definitely white tophttp://i1211.photobucket.com/albums/...FAEB096717.jpg

My favorite RC body. Set aside a few hours for the decals. The windows take forever.

Re: My Landcruiser 40 build
 

I like the green on the new Land Rover Defender. Whatcha think?

Re: My Landcruiser 40 build
 

That window trim looks easy to mess up. Did you use any soapy water or windex when applying?

Re: My Landcruiser 40 build
 

Hop ups!

The tires are 1.55 RC4WD mud thrashers.

Re: My Landcruiser 40 build
 

No, not at all. Xacto and patience.

Re: My Landcruiser 40 build
 

Looks like you've got some parts to install!

Re: My Landcruiser 40 build
 

Yep! Can't wait till I have some time to do it. I always build stock first (except for bearings). Still need barrel springs. Hopefully the Hot Racing steering set holds up we shall see.

Re: My Landcruiser 40 build
 

Finally had time to do the wheels and man it took a while. Those things are hard to get that first screw started when assembling. My thumbs are bruised! They fit perfect. Looks so much better than stock.

A classic wheel/tire combo. Looks good.

Now on to the GPM 4 link with no instructions......

Re: My Landcruiser 40 build
 

Got my GPM 4 link installed.

Re: My Landcruiser 40 build
 

With no instructions the 4 link was a trial and error install. I think it came out okay.

Re: My Landcruiser 40 build
 

I did a bit of guessing with mine too. Pretty easy once you get everything laid out.

Re: My Landcruiser 40 build
 

Did you use the flanged plastic spacers that came with the kit? I put mine under the long links on the chassis. Still unsure about that but without them the links hit the chassis.

Re: My Landcruiser 40 build
 

I don't think I did, though I used the short wheelbase mounts.. You probably needed them because of that adapter for the "middle" wheelbase.

Re: My Landcruiser 40 build
 

I messed around with it a bit today. Set up the lower links differently which made a huge improvement and installed a Junfac driveshaft. For some reason can't upload pictures right now.

Re: My Landcruiser 40 build
 

I installed the Hot Racing steering set up and it's perfect. Almost no slop in the steering. Hopefully it holds up.
