Description
A simple mod to put the great “Low gear ratio belted gearbox” into model 9,10,12 or 13 - the Bamboo, AKA Toyota FJ40
Fits the 32:1 variant even with Fusion mounted. The gearbox however is ideal to gear-down an outrunner so it has enough torque at crawling speeds. While the car will max at a swift walking pace, couple this with both diffs locked and good tires and you'll be surprised, how difficult trails can this little thing crawl through!
It protrudes to the interior a little, so you had to do some more hand-fitting on certain parts. Also, it is more difficult to squeeze the cables inside, so I opted to lead them along the passenger's legroom.
