Nice. I've been looking for an FJ Body but it getting harder to find. The best fj body are the

new bright brand.

Just bought a New Bright body on RCTech forums. Should be getting it next week. It's pretty trashed, but it was the only one I could find.

Throwing it on the SCX10 which I pick up today :)

The nikko fjc body fits flush. The new bright is small and will require some custom work to fit. I had one that I tried to make fit but in the end I went with the Tamiya FJ40.

Hi Ghost,

I don't know much about R/C and bought mine pre-built. I have a New Bright FJC but don't know how to mount it on, can you help me with it? I've also seen some YouTube videos of fellow 2010 TT owners having matching crawlers, know of anyone that does a good paint job? Thanks!

The NB FJC body will fit but you will have to make custom links to shorten the wheelbase of the RC. Most use the Nikko RC body for their matching crawlers. As far as paint, you should just give a try yourself. Just prep it as you would prep your real car for paint. Worst case you can always repaint. I would help but I am a little far away in Galt, Ca.
