Default my first modern scale: MST CFX-W

Hi,

I don't know where is Jrkilburn with his cfx-w, but I received mine, and almost ended to assemble it

If you collect plastic bags, you'll be happy with this car, it contains dozens of them!



The chassis is quickly assembled, everything is easy, plastic feels strong.



axles include many parts, it's long to assemble it cleanly, but result is great



to raise wheelbase, 5 mm spacers are included in the kit, so it's easy to go to 310 mm wheelbase; if you want a bit more, you only have to add washers to the links, for example to reach 313 mm like me, for the Axial Jeep Cherokee I bought for this chassis

Standard front bumper is too near of wheels, so an extension has to be homemade to have it in front of the body and not under it, but it's easy to do with a few aluminum parts.

Episode of the day: the chassis is assembled, body is fitted on it, front bumper extension is made.
This one fits rather well to the set I find, once cut a bumper section of the body

The rear bumper is made. It's rudimentary, but it does what it's designed for: protect the body

thank you

Servo is a Savox SC-0251mg, I have a 35T Holmes Hobbies motor and have ordered the new Hobbywing 1080 esc. I'm now waiting to receive it to complete the car.

I received the esc this week, so electronic is now in place on the car

I put a piece of lexan on it to protect from projections, at least partially:

Your English is good. Love the truck and paint job. Nice work. You must have some massive mountains in France to run your RC's on.

thank you.
yes, but not where I live
Some places with rocks are 'available' near Paris (Fontainebleau, Malesherbes for example), and interesting to crawl on
