I didn't order yet, I wanted to but I had a big vet bill come up the day before I got paid so hopefully they are still in stock next week.

Really neat ride. I will have to do some research on this. Thanks for sharing the build.

| Re: MST-CMX (Finally) 1.55 build
This is a really cool concept - a smaller chassis to fit the Tamiya bodies. And I will definitely have one at some point, but with the bushings and plastic links it just doesn't seem like this kit is a good value. But value is one of the last things to come to mind when purchasing an RC and this one ranks pretty high on the cool list so I will have one as my next build or so. I'm just not sure which body I would want to put on top at this point. I'm anxious to see your finished product. |

| Re: MST-CMX (Finally) 1.55 build
It might not seem like a good value on paper, but when you hold it in your hands itsa different story, I'm just finishing building the basic chassis and the plastic links are not that bad, way better than axial, but most people change links anyway so why include nice expensive ones? Same with the bushings, most people order an aftermarket bearing kit anyway, the ones who don't might not even notice the difference, plus most of the plastic parts have aluminum replacements available separately, like the links and driveshafts.

Can you use a wheel/tire combo other than what comes with the kit? I read in an RCMart blog that you were limited to what came in the kit unless you bought a crawler widening kit.

| Re: MST-CMX (Finally) 1.55 build
look on the first page, he already has different tires and wheels on it, i have my cmx right in front of me and dont see why different wheels wouldnt go on, you probably cant put huge tires on it but if you keep it sensible you shouldnt have a problem.

Havent driven it, but the quality is very nice and the rig is solid, the esc seems sweet too, it's dean's wired and Lipo capable, there is a lot of plastic but it keeps weight and price down.

| Re: MST-CMX (Finally) 1.55 build Soon.... just fabbed up some sliders, but they were a total fail and have to start over. Any 12mm wheel will fit, though tires over 110mm OD would look a bit goofy imo. It is a smallish chassis. |

This chassis is starting to look appealing for its intended purpose. I have several toy RC hard bodies with short wheelbases (and small wheel wells), and have considered selling all of them, but now I'm thinking I might hold on to them, until I get this chassis.

Just to clarify for anyone getting custom links, the rear lowers measure 100-99 mm, not 109mm for the 252 wb. I have a Tamiya FJ40 body on and it fits the wb just right.

Speaking of custom links, has anyone come up with a good solution for steel or titanium steering links yet? I prefer not to go with aluminum on the steering links since they tend to get bashed into rocks and I don't want them to bend.

I havent upgraded a single part on mine other than tyres, and have had no problem with links. The steering link flexes a bit, but with a spacer filling thw gap i see no issue with mine. The sudpension links are also fine, as they are straight and are also stiffer than axial ones. Since this is a light truck, i dont think theres any need to replace any of the links.
