Proline fj40 landcruiser with cage

[surfishjoe]

Hi gang! So with the base camp builders kit on sale I grabbed one. Then the proline sale I grabbed a fj40 and a hobbywing 1800 se! I’ve always wanted a landcruiser but can’t afford one so I figured what the heck I’ll build a tiny one. Anyone try this body yet I haven’t seen to many pictures in the wild.

I like this body too. Post up a build thread when you start this build. I'd love to see the completed project with that body.

I like the new FJ40 body from proline It should look great on the builders kit and fun to make it your own. I have not seen many pictures of it done since its new but it has a lot of detail parts. It was a good deal through proline sales.

I was eyeing one at the local Lhs, I need another body like I need a hole in the head, I might just pick one up come next paycheck.

Well just finished the scx10ii iii builders kit minus electronics so I can start seeing how this body will fit. I am hoping it works with this chassis we shall see soon enough. On a side note the builders kit was really fun to put together and even though it sits high it may bode well with this fj40. I am envisioning a taller big ol tire mud/ rock beast landcruiser! I can always get shorter shocks later.

Dang I would love to see it but your link isn’t working for me. Could be my archaic I pad I use.

For electronics I have fusion se 1800, powerhobby waterproof servo and powerhobby micro servo. I think for radio the flysky with the knobs gt5?

I will add this body to the fleet eventually. Can't have too many FJ40s I guess lol.

Rig looks great bro! Terrain looks fun where you’re at. I love the idea of the motor sound boxes. I just wish they could be adjusted to match the throttle better. That’s what has stopped me from buying one. Keep up the great work! Subbed to your channel

Cheers man. I appreciate it! I feel like I have to run the sync again but I think it matched pretty well to what I was doing with the throttle

I think the engine sounds were pretty spot on. Also, I figured out Lt. Dan haha that’s awesome. I was going to cut some legs off a driver too for this body.

I just posted another video yesterday on the same channel!
