I Wuv U - FMS FCX24 Smasher v2

[416jojo]

New project truck from Xmas. Supposedly red, it's at best plum. So, I'm thinking of going with a Barney theme.

Upgrades (already):
- FMS Speed motor/heat sink/metal transmission.
- Injora metal driveshafts
- Jconcepts Renegade 1.1 tires on Tribute wheels.

Mods:
- oil-filled shocks
- steering knuckle screw reverse

What's next:
- ball bearings for the portals
- I'm tempted by the Furitek Rampart chassis, painted green, of course.
- Barney sticker.
- It's pretty much a blank canvas, can't wait to see what this becomes.

Any thoughts/ suggestions?

I love the Furitek chassis. I have 3 of them for future builds. Just make sure you get the screws with it. My first one didn't come with any. The JC wheels will accept regular Ritt dye.

Love the barney picture.

My opinion as a dad is, it's closer to Tinky Winky, but that's just my opinion. It's a nice looking truck.

Nice. Love mine. BTW they are submergable. Shift servo may stop working but will work again. And the truck works without cleaning it.

The servo part gave me a kirsk type vibe.

Uhhhhhhh. Looks like I’ll be RCless for a long time. And lots of jail time atleast. Might be getting me a life sentence
I swear judge, I wasn’t trying to drown him. Just a thorough cleaning

I'm the judge. It was waterboarding, a terrorist move. You sentence is to clean the muddiest rc piece by piece.

Ha! Nice keeping the weight low. If I tried that, it'd probably float upside-down.

Can't go wrong with purple and green. I dig it. Keep on trucking.
