Hi, I had blue FMS FJ40 but I wanted it not blue anymore so I tore it down and repainted it and added a few special touches along the way. Then I drove it around Smiggin's Folly because that's what I like to do. Is this the first one to be repainted? Maybe it is. If you like the video please let me know. If you didn't like the video please tell me you liked it.

I don't think people realize how much time and skill are involved to make this thing. Just a work of art.

@turksandjerps 8 месяцев назад

Thank you, I appreciate the nice words

@johnhenry6098 8 месяцев назад

I’ve never seen any rc more beautiful in my life. Maybe because I used to have a red FJ40 - but it had different tail lights. Suspension? Correct. Tire size? Correct. Details? Yessir. Scale on point; ridiculous! I mean dang man, it is the perfect build of this vehicle (best that I’ve seen online), I love it.

Would it be possible to run the Boom Racing 1.55 Yota Classic wheels on this FMS model? Or would those wheels only work on the Gelande 2?

Dude! I’ve got a 1970 FJ40 in the same color you painted this. It’s original paint, so it is in similar (but better) condition than what you’ve done here. Outstanding work! I would love to see a part & paint color list. I was hoping you had one. I’m going to use this as inspiration to build a mini version of mine. Again, fantastic work!

@turksandjerps 3 месяца назад

Thanks! I used Krylon paint and I want to say it was called Pistachio. Other than the wheels and tires that came off an FMS 1/6 Jimny and the hubcaps I printed myself, no other parts were used. Oh and the leaf kit from the FMS Jimny as well.

@turksandjerps 8 месяцев назад

Thanks. There were a ton of errors I didn’t fix. No ambition to and short on time. We are yet to see a perfect, truly accurate, down to the exact year scale body. The only company I know doing that is MFab with their 3D printed bodies.

If you didn't like the video please tell me you liked it... I loled. This is probably my favorite after the Atlas, but that's because I dig the power wagon look and am not a fan of a hard body. I have to say though, this is probably the best one to date. I love the FMS stuff, but sometimes they look too perfect. You could get away with that on the Mashigan, but a 60+yo vehicle needs to look the part.

@drewschumann1 8 месяцев назад

Best scale attempt so far. Only details i can see that are off is the license plate and 4wd emblem on wrong side, lack of gray wheels and no spare tire swing out. Otherwise, nailed it completely. Personally, id give it a bench front seat and move the shifter to the steering column.

@turksandjerps 8 месяцев назад

Time constraints didn’t allow for perfect year accurate makeover. There were A LOT of other things I’d have to correct from the manufacturer to do it right. The black wheels and earlier hubcap choice was mine for style points.
