Nice! Thanks I have a handful of random ones like that. But it’s a mish mosh little pile. Maybe I should order some.
 
After my last run with this FJ I had some sort of binding and then it simply wouldn’t move. I couldn’t even manually turn the wheels. So I tore into the gears and all seemed well. I found the issue in the GRU.

It seemed that one of the bearings seized up. I had a spare so I replaced it and tossed some more grease into the GRU and added some grease to the plastic front Tamiya gears. I took it for a quick test run and it’s as good as new.
 
I always thought the rear of this FJ looked a little off without a spare tire.

I decided it was time to add one.

I mounted it up pretty high so it wouldn’t get hung up as the rear departure angle on the truck is pretty good. I think the spare completed the look of the rear.
 
I did a little work on the backyard rock garden over the last couple of days as I’ve been doing some fall leaves cleanup in my yard. I had about a half charged battery pack in this little CC01 FJ so I took it for a spin. This thing really performs so well and I highly recommend these tires for smaller rigs.
