I wish I could honestly but standing it up moves it too far forward for my body plans. The axle moves very little and is tolerable until the aftermarket catches up with a solution. I get full articulation and full compression and steering and think it will serve the purpose for this build.

What part is that you used for the panhard at the chassis ?

It is the pan hard mount trimmed off a vaterra Ascender front shock mount.

The bottom is a trimmed down lower shock mount from an Axial AR60.

Lol, I use what I have laying around most of the time. If it works I'll take it to a friend and have it machined from aluminum.

I like the transmission, wonder if they could be purchased separately?

Not sure if it available separately but it is pretty specific how it mounts to the frame.

With a Comp coming next Sunday, I wanted to give it a proper shake down run. Put it together in class 2 form today.

I'm told spare parts will be available soon. Axle sets are already available.

Hopefully the MST rigs grow enough to finally have their own brand specific sections on this forum soon.

IMO - they deserve it. The trucks really are pretty nice and offer a great amount of value. They are unique, good quality and the design features set them apart from the rest. Viable options for sure...

Having a great time with mine too. A growing list of things to do.



After this run though I found my drive shaft had warped



There are spares in the kit but can I upgrade to metal ones like these

I like the platform, picked up the steel center shaft (mostly due to boredom on the internet) and it fit in there nicely. I hadn't really looked at the steel driveshafts yet.

Good to know A-main is supporting them too! Much faster parts delivery!

After 3hrs of use are the tyres still garbage? And did you run the stock foams?

I can bring along a rig for you to run, let me know by Saturday night. I just hope it warms up a little for Sunday.

At this rate with the weather, you won't need a water proof turk, just studded ice tires !
