Chip's FJ40

[chip cross]

I had a chance to pickup a super rare FJ 40 hardbody, soooo I jumped at it. I would like to thank zumzum5150 for the chance to take this body off his hands, I hope I do him proud with the build. This is the second FJ40 body I have had like this they are super detailed and make a very nice 2.2 scale rig. Sooo enough chit chat on to the build.

Specs to be:

Axial SCX-10 is the perfect donor for this build
Sidewinder ESC
45T Holmes Hobbies motor on 3s
Jr 650
1/8 3Racing winch or an MSD QS winch
2.2 RC4WD Rok Lox
2.2 CAC Slotted Mag Beadlocks
Tube bumpers and sliders of course
Working head and tail lights
Full interior

Just kinda mocking up everything, man I can't wait to see this thing done.

When everything is done the body will be much lower on the chassis.
