| OnTs CFX build
My kit from MST showed up today. Wish I could dig into it now. Taking the wife to Jim Gaffigan though. Looks like a minor tweak to the box. They placed a sticker over the main features. Only difference I find is the addition of the 313 wheel base. They also included an insert on how to build the links. Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk |

Day two was boom racing link kit, shocks and portal axles. Then getting it all put together. Overall, the kit was a good build. You really have to pay attention to the order of the steps. Still no motor or esc but will shop for that soon. Also, is it possible to swap the pinion to one that isn't M06? A 32 or 48p that would work ? Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk |

The ol lady might be pissed but I stopped and picked up everything short of the funky pinion gear to get this rig running. Motor, esc and servo. Decided to go with the 91 4runner body for the shell. I did run the tires over the weekend at a crawl sponsored by hobbytown. I was pleasantly surprised by how well they did on the K5. My son had it going over, under and through all types of terrain. Not saying they're the best mind you but capable. Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk |

Nice! I was considering the 4-runner body for my second CFX-W, but I got my hands on a Deadbolt body for a good price. I mainly wanted the cage and lights, and might get the pro-line bronco body that uses it.

We have the same idea on a bodyshell. Does it need long body posts in the rear? Interested to see how you mount it

Looks like bearings, links and axle shafts are a good upgrade to get | |

Had to cut the front posts way down to get the nose to sit right. My plan is to fit it with some magnets. Still waiting to drive this thing! Pinions shipped out of China a couple days ago. Should arrive late next week. Hoping to get the electronics installed this weekend. Dreading it as I HATE soldering. | |

Shell is painted. Still need to tweak the stance and trim around the fenders. Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk Last edited by OldNTired; 10-03-2017 at 01:19 PM. Reason: layout |

AAAARRRRRGHHHH!! So, I was hoping that my pinion gear set would arrive this week. It was initially scheduled to. Just checked Amazon and it's been delayed until the 11th now. So very irritating having a truck that can't go anywhere.

Amain and RPP both carry mod 6 pinion. I believe that Tower does, too. It is used in Tamiya kits, so almost any place that sells Tamiya will have them. | |

Nice, it's a pretty sweet truck. I was impressed when I took mine out for a run. I'm just trying to figure out the right suspension combo for mine now.

Nice looks good in white. I wanted to paint mine white but was afraid of how that line from the front fender would look. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |
