Soze picks up a MTX-1
 

I've been wanting to pick this up for a while, and finally pulled the trigger.

Interesting thing is that I also recently got a CMX. Due to the fact that the MTX-1 shares quite a bit of parts with the CMX... it's a plus.

I'm freaking jealous! I can't wait to see what you think of it.

I just ordered a CMX RTR for $170 shipped on AMain because they're clearing them out.

Getting to be a regular MST fanboy there, soze :lmao:

I can't talk, my collection has a large MST ratio too.

Re: Soze picks up a MTX-1
 

Me too. ;-) I need to get the Bronco body though.... or I can put the Unimog body on my CR-01 and Use that Bronco body...

I'll probably look into some of the CMX hop-ups for the MTX-1. ebay has done me good with coupons recently... :) That's how I ended up with the TRX4 and now MTX-1

Well... to tell you the truth... I don't discriminate.... I like anything that catches my eye and have a car/truck from most of the major players.

It's all good. I won't poke fun until this one shows up later painted like the Fall Guy truck (age check) :)

Re: Soze picks up a MTX-1
 

Fall Guy! I remember that show! (age check myself)

Re: Soze picks up a MTX-1
 

I wish we had shows like the Fall Guy now. That show was awesome.

Re: Soze picks up a MTX-1
 

Heather Thomas was awesome! I think there was a truck in that show too :)

Re: Soze picks up a MTX-1
 

Sorry to further derail your thread, but how do you get these ebay coupons? Similarly, I've heard others on the forum mention 15%-20% ebay sales. I use ebay often so how do I keep missing out??

Back on topic, I've seen pics of these trucks with Jconcepts clod-sized wheels and tires and it's a pretty good look. Just in case you're looking for somewhere to put another $100 8)

EDIT: here's one

Keep checking the eBay front page. Also keep checking your email. Sometimes the 15% to 20% off is site wide and other times it's sent to your inbox.

Re: Soze picks up a MTX-1
 

Like Jato said.... I usually find out because they get emailed to me, otherwise I would never be checking the home page as I'm usually in my buy/sell views. Install the ebay app on your phone and turn on notifications. That's worked the best for me, because it notifies you when they have coupons.

Regarding the clod tires.... I do have an extra set doing nothing right now. I originally bought them to mount on my Tamiya TXT-2 that I still haven't built! :shock:

Re: Soze picks up a MTX-1
 

I was looking at these (again) last night...I'll be looking forward to hearing how this one performs for you!

Re: Soze picks up a MTX-1
 

Might take a while lol. Too many things to do and not enough free time.

Also have a kit on the way that will take priority for attention... I'll post about it when I get it in hand.

Re: Soze picks up a MTX-1
 

Why did you post this? I haven’t even taken my scx10.II outside yet, and now you’ve shown me this...and I want one.

Re: Soze picks up a MTX-1
 

So... I added the Traxxas Bigfoot Classic body to the MTX-1. Looks so much better and more proportionate than the stock body.

Traxxas 3656 Bigfoot Grille
Traxxas 3662 Bigfoot Body Accessory Kit

Re: Soze picks up a MTX-1
 

Guess the Fall Guy paint job is out! Looks much better, I agree. "thumbsup"

I just realized you got that body clear...great job on it!!

Re: Soze picks up a MTX-1
 

Yep... I couldn't do with the sticker on windows that the RTR body has.

Re: Soze picks up a MTX-1
 

This is how the OG Bigfoot should have been built. Fantastic looking truck.

Re: Soze picks up a MTX-1
 

YES!
man i hope your new employer gives you more $ and shorter days... you are going to be BUSY! this truck is great and i cant wait to see the "other" thing you picked up at the ebay sale.
this truck is pretty much what they had in mind when they recently made "retro bigfoot" with the old body on a new modern chassis. weather or not that was your intent, it worked great!

Re: Soze picks up a MTX-1
 

I don't have my hopes up, but we'll see.

That other thing might be canceled if it turns out to be the kit instead of the RTR (Bruiser clone). I already have a New in box Bruiser and Mountain Rider.... so I was only looking for something that I could customize with the controller included to see how the controller is. Waiting for seller response.
