Default - Project: FJ40 -

I think it's time for my SCX10 trail rig to get a new shell. I was originally aiming for the Tamiya Toyota Hilux hard body, but since the recently released RC4WD TF2, there are tons of Hilux out there. So I went with a different route, Tamiya Toyota FJ40 lexan body.



Due to the fact that the FJ40 body is a very narrow and have a short wheelbase, so I decided to chop it up and stretch the body, yet I'll still be able to keep the stock Honcho wheelbase.





To be continued...

Update: Extended the body about 53mm with styrene sheets, then fill up the gaps with putty, still need to smooth it out. Body also have been reinforced.
