Back in 2012 the Jeep® design team crafted the Mighty FC Concept
vehicle, spawned from its 1950’s linage and morphed into modern day off
road swagger making grown men weak in the knees upon first glance. The
“I must have but can’t” attitude behind the Mighty FC Concept is thanks
to todays vehicles safety standards quickly making Forward Cab vehicles a
thing of the past. Fortunately, scale realism is in, and Axial is proud
to announce the Jeep® Mighty FC Concept body for purchase. Here’s a
brief run down behind the Jeep® Mighty FC Concept Vehicle…
A few
years back, 1956 – 1965 to be exact, Jeep® brand created the Forward
Control, which offered an ingenious solution to smaller yet capable
utilitarian minded off-road vehicles. The overall length of the vehicle
was kept to a minimum allowing for greater maneuverability while still
maintaining a full sized cargo area for maximum utility. Just shy of a
decade, production consisted of approximately 30,000 units that covered a
wide gamut of configurations ranging from military, towing, civilian,
hauling and farming applications. Engine choices ranged from a small
2.2L inline 4 cylinder know as the Hurricane F4-134, 3.7L inline 6
cylinder Super Hurricane and a 4.5L V8 Y-block. In present day FC’s are
talked about but hardly seen due to their rarity and coveted ownership.
Knowing
that background, fast-forward 47 years and give the Jeep® R&D team a
crack at creating a one off concept vehicle that not only showcases the
teams abilities, but also pays respect to an early classic. Deadline
for the Mighty FC Concept, 46th Annual Moab Easter Jeep® Safari.
Creating the Mighty FC Concept was done by taking a 2012 Wrangler
Rubicon and repositioned the cabin ahead of the front axle, stretched
the wheelbase and chassis, created a custom rear cargo box area along
with using the roof from a Jeep® JK-8 conversion kit. Not to mention a
bold custom leather interior coupled with Mopar® Front and Rear 8-lug
Portal Axle kits. Parts surrounding the axles consisted of King
coil-over shocks, 40” BFG tires and custom Hutchinson 17-inch beadlock
wheels. Thus the Jeep® Mighty FC Concept was born and with it came a
cult following like none other.
With the help of the Jeep®
brand, Axial has created a stunning replica of the Jeep® Mighty FC
Concept that’s scaled around 11.4” wheelbase SCX10 vehicles and
compatible with the SCX10 Wheel Wells (AX31150). Wheelbase can easily shortened by using the SCX10 TR Links Set 11.4” (AX30549).
Included with the body is a full decal sheet, easy to install LED light
buckets, all necessary body hardware and window mask sheet. (LED lights
sold separately)
