| need help with a new bright tj build
My plan is to make a newbright 1/10 tj or lj not sure yet. Also, I'm trying to keep it class 1 or close to it. I'm not sure where to start. The only two kits that I think might work are the mst cmx or the gmade sawback. Any opinions on these kits? Are there any other chassis and axles that may work? Any and all ideas are welcome. Sorry if this is confusing. I believe these are the correct measurements of the body. Length: 400mm Width: 195mm Height: 140mm Wheelbase: 260mm I cant confirm it yet, I'm still waiting for mine to show up. I know I had a thread on this already but the titles seemed to confuse people, sorry. Last edited by Dezertdirt; 06-12-2016 at 04:54 PM. |

I'll throw in my 2cents. The mst cmx would be a good start for wheelbase and width. You'd still need to fab up a front motor mount and get a transfer case. |

there are many kits you can go with. If I was building that rig I'd go with a dingo kit. the reason is there are so many aftermarket parts available. saying that if you cant do modifications and don't have the tools to do mods I would go with something different. you need to be able to shorten your links and still have everything work right. |

I have a small collection of toy RC hard bodies, each of them with wheelbases between 10" - 10.75", and I'm seriously considering an eventual MST CMX build, because it was designed to mount bodies of that size. There are loads of MST CMX trail/crawl videos popping up on YouTube, which reflects its growing popularity.

I'm fine with shortening links, cutting up a chassis, just not sure about narrowing axles. So I may start with an scx chassis,make links, but still unsure of what axles and trans to run. May try mrc axles since I have a set just sitting around. mst still maybe the answer or sawback axles.
