Chip's FJ40

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
