    MST RMX

    The postman brought the next parcel, so I now have the body. I dont know how it compares with the more expensive versions with separate bumpers, this is in one piece with separate wing, front splitter and side skirts. I went with the japanese theme as its primarily a drift car. I have yet to choose a color, but silver with black may be the end result.

    I have had a bit of time to experiment with which body to use, I have gone from the subaru wrc, honda odyssey, nissan skyline then ford mustang. What I have noticed is that the ford mustang really suits the changeable offset wheels, which none of the other body shells looked right with. That was going perfectly fine untill I got an email saying that the body I had wanted was back in stock so I placed the order. More on that choice when it arrives, but it looked very nice on the picture.

    A bit of progress, the turnbuckles I had ordered were tamiya ones, which none of my tools fit, so I ditched them for some I had spare from another touring car. The nissan body doesnt sit right on one side, so I tried the honda body which is a bit too narrow, but I have some wider arches which seem to work ok. I just need to fit the body a bit better, then test it out.
  4. It's looking good, I have the same body ( or similar ) that I painted blue in the early 00's. I might have to get it back out and use it as they look good.

    I had some time to carry on with the build, I am now waiting for some shorter turnbuckles as the ones I have are a bit too long, the front wheels stick out a bit too much. I have still got to fit the esc and receiver, then put the body mounts on. The rear wheels are the same as the fronts but in black, as the offset is 11mm rear and 5mm front, I might paint them at a later date.

    The build has started, with some alterations from stock spec. The turnbuckles I have, ended up being 3mm too long, so I had to swap some lower wishbone spacers for the ones from the upper wishbones, so the lower wishbones are now 4mm per side longer, which I'm hoping wont alter the handling if I ever drift it. I should however, be able to adjust the front camber without changing spacers as stock would have been. The progress has just been the lower wishbones front and rear, with the front upper wishbone mount in progress, as I need to build the steering before it gets bolted together. So far I am happy with the manual, it's pretty good so far, but as it will now be nearly 200mm wide at the front, the wheels I had planned may not fit as I thought they were going on a 190mm chassis.

    I dont have any drift space available, so just as a shelf model or maybe street use with rubber tyres. My closest drift track is down south where I got the car from. I used to race touring cars on carpet, so this is the complete opposite in design, rwd with low grip.

    I think I will build it as low motor position, apparently it helps with the drifting in high position as it helps it slide easier. For the price of £113 I would like to get another and have one set up in high and low position.

    MST RMX

    I have been looking at the MST range for a few years, but the prices were fairly high. The one that got my attention was the mid motor one, the front motor one looks interesting but the prices are still high. I was browsing the internet last week and saw that the RMX was on offer, so I ordered it. The kit is not the high end model, it comes with oil shocks, ball races, fake brakes. It doesnt have adjustable turnbuckles but I have some that may fit. Esc will be hobbywing justock 120amp. Motor is a speed passion 10.5t. Servo is a savox. Wheels will either be gold MST g25 5mm offset with drift tyres or black MST g25 11mm offset with drift tyres, whichever fit the body best. Transmitter is an absima steerwheel type. Body will be a pandora skyline r33 gtr. The body is already painted red from last year but unused, so I will make use of it on this chassis. This is the body.

    MST TCR-M

    I have not built it yet, but for £113 delivered I have taken a chance on it being ok.

    It looks pretty good, I thought about buying one of these but instead went for the rmx 2.0, so hopefully it's good to build.
  12. I know it's wrong not buying tamiya, but for the price it was a bargain. The only thing missing would be adjustable turnbuckles, but it has oil shocks. It's an old model now, but it will probably end up as a shelf model.
  13. They dont have any decals with the rs200, so I guess none of them do, not even window masks came with mine, so I used tamiya paint sheets to cut some out.
  14. From L and L models in the uk, listed as frewer 235mm, each one has a different wheelbase and width.
  15. I fitted a ford rs200 body to my buggy a few years ago, as they make some in buggy dimensions. This is 280mm wheelbase and 240mm wide. I put hpi wr8 tarmac wheels and tyres on and had to narrow the front width a bit, but standard buggy wheels fit easier. They have some in 250mm wheelbase up to 280mm.
