Raman36 1656 Posted March 2, 2020 I built my MST CMX chassis today. Impressive build. Pretty darn good quality on carbon infused plastic! Manual had couple of vague areas where visual graphics Descriptions were a bit odd. Need to source my magnetic mounts now! Then get busy painting the Brat. Will probably opt for gold ole Box Art Red 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Raman36 1656 Posted March 3, 2020 Which Mag mounts did you use? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They have a tiltable joint so they can be adjusted to follow the body shape. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Raman36 1656 Posted May 17, 2020 Alright, we are finally done!!! 😉 We have MST CMX chassis, paired with Subaru Brat Chassis. Using magnetic disks mounts for body.. RC4WD deep dish wagon wheels on sand blaster 915 tyres. Shocks are Tamiya TRF dampers for CC01 with CMX springs. Wasn’t easy, almost threw in the towel many time... but in the end, what project is easy.. Body became the biggest pain because I tried to be cute and paint the black trim And Bed first and then use liquid mask to cover it. Well liquid mask doesn’t like Tamiya TS paint... 😂 The trim was easy to fix but the bed is fubar. I’m thinking of some sort of inlay for the bed.. open to suggestions. Overall happy with it.. Driver dude is at the hairdressers at present and should be in car soon.. 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

njmlondon 570 Posted May 19, 2020 Great project. Makes me want a Brat! Did those sand blaster tires fit easily onto the RC4WD wheels? And are they 1.9 wherls? The combo looks awesome. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The combo looks awesome. They didn't fit very easily. The Sand Blaster have an inner lip that makes it hard to fit the RC4WD rims. (They're Stamped 1.55 wagon) The front piece of the wagon wheel has a convex / slope and it fits with some lube / grease ( I used vaseline) The rear however is more square in shape and would not move past the lip. So I ended up removing the lip on one side of the Sand Blaster with scissors. 3 out of 4 tyres bead ended up seating perfectly.. 1 would not seat well no matter what I tried.. oh well!! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
