Cfx

[Yonzariq]

I got a Raffee JK body pretty cheap.
Was thinking of putting it on a MST CFX chassis.
Body has 270mm wheelbase, CFX maximum 267 out of the box, so that should fit great with minor adjustments.
Only to make up a mount for the body.
Also want to throw some 1.55 wheels on it.
I really like the BoomRacing 1.55 Terra-Classic 8-hole with Boom Racing 1.55 SP Road Tracker Crawler Tire Gekko Compound.

Pull the electronics from my old crawler king and smash them on there also.
Hobbywing WP1060
Carson 55t motor
PowerHD 20kg servo

Before I start ordering stuff, any thoughts on this?
Or any parts I should also order?

I think 1.9s work better with the JK hardbody since the 1:1 would most likely have 17 inch wheels (which scale out to 1.9s since the body is approximately 1:9 scale). A larger tire helps fill out the rather large wheel wells, the Pitbull AT Hardcores or RC4WD Wrangler Duratracs are good options for a more all terrain look.

Also, a wheel with adjustable hubs is a good idea because the CMX axles are pretty narrow compared to the JK body. My JK nearly has full tire tuck with SCXII axles and the CMX is about 35mm more narrow.

I’m planning the same but with the Tamiya body that is smaller
242mm wheelbase

My CFX with 1.9 wheels (similar offset to the boom wheels though) comes in at 8" wide from the outer face of the tires if that helps. They are a bit narrow, though it's very inline with their wheelbase.

I found some more info on the body, and will look for some nice 1.9, they indeed look pretty good to scale, 1.55 would look too small.
Still need to wait on the body so I can do some measurements before ordering more
