Andyjk's MST CMX Defender D90 build

[JatoTheRipper]

Do you remember which Arnold action figure you're using?

Thanks guys. Jato, it's "Dutch" from Predator

Made some scale tie down straps with some ribbon and wire bent into shape. Really happy with how they look!








Took it out for the First proper test of the CMX. The weight was an issue, might have to remove some things as it struggled a bit. The 55T motor was also a little slow for my liking. It was also a little too heavy and would roll quite easily. Got a little work to do before I'm completely happy but fairly pleased with it so far








Also added some more scale items

Great nature pics. Love the one in the water. If you widen the stance just a little would that help with the stability? Just a thought.

Great build! How does the weathering hold up to handling and driving? I hope to experiment with it soon and thought I might have to put a coat of matte clear over it.

Thanks

Hmm yeah it probably would although I don't think there's much more room to be able to widen them and have the tyres still tuck in when compressed. I'll have a look. Thanks!

Got the light bar installed. A few of the LEDs died immediately so I'm being sent a replacement.


I haven't driven it overly hard yet or in wet weather but I imagine it would rub off if it were in the wet.

Had a go at a different style tie down strap



And a winch anchor. It's a. It's rough but I'm relatively happy with it. Might paint it eventually.


Also built a little track in the backyard
