Goro Majima

Finished this build a few days ago, #5 of my Toyota Lexan Crawler list. This may be an older body when it debuted to the RC world but it was a must-have to add to the fleet. As you all know it's a pretty narrow body, but I did my best with a set of 1.55's and a slightly shorter tire than a 4.19. With how I have the arches trimmed and body sitting, the only rubbing is the front of the front arches but it's not that bad. Very doable and most importantly I can keep the look.

This build isn't 100% finished though as you don't see the front bumper installed and hope I'm not forgetting to mention anything. I've got the newly released Team Garage Hack single bar bumper kit (sample pic below) on the way for the front. I think it will be the perfect solution for this front end. Kept the small lip there with the upper mounting holes for the stock bumper still just in case I want to hack that bumper and be able to install it. Also debating on overdrive, but need more run time on it. So far it's an amazing crawler despite the rear overhang on departure. I'll include a running video when I get the chance.
