New Toyota FJ body scaler

[1BadJeepBruiser]

First scaler that has my interest since the rc4wds Gelande cruiser. Like that it has a transfer case, HPI has been paying attention "thumbsup"

 

[fullsizecrawler]

its good to see another company get involved

 

[BigSki]

I'm looking forward to seeing/reading more about this- it looks like it could be a fun rig. Doesn't Axial have some involvement with the HPI brand name? ( I'm not sure about it, that's why I'm asking. "thumbsup")

Only in that an employee at axial used to be a designer at HPI... I think.

There's actually a few designers that were at HPI back when the Blitz was released that are now at Axial. You can see similarities in a few of the caged HPI cars and caged Axial cars.

Better front end shot.

I hope it the wheelbase is around 290mm to be true to scale. I think I have ocd it bothers me seeing so many different sizes of scalers.

 

[Super]

Scale is kind of a relative term. It's whatever is pleasing to the eye.

Drag link... tie-rod, same diff... the part that goes from the servo to the knuckle, that part is still in front. :lmao::roll:

 

[Super]

You can't tell if the pan hard is bent or not. I'm not jumping to any conclusions till I can see everything."thumbsup"

 

[BigSki]

Any new teaser info??

 

[Chiphead]

I wonder about the "scaleness" of the BTA steering. I can only recall seeing that on medium/heavy duty trucks.

Also done on modified off-road trucks, granted mainly with full hydro. However that seems like an odd detail to worry about for the sake of "scaleness" when we are still talking about a lexan body car with body posts and single wheel nuts. :lol:

 

[stonecold]

Scale or not, BTA steering will definitely help with not getting hung up on things.
