Just about the best! A few tips: 1) the carbon steal screws need a little lube from bar soap or wax before instillation, 2) the tinted windshield and rear corner and bach window stickers should go on the inside and the window frame stickers should go on the outside, the left and right door stickers go on the outside, 3) if you are putting this body on a CFX-W chassis you will need the CMX Car body post set #230026 and some 2x12mm button head screws such as the Protek RC #PTK-H-3004. You will love this build.
Excellent body kit. Big price is due to the amount of parts supplied with the body. You get a full back cage, bed, and a ton of add on bits. It even comes with the hinge mount and a front bumper. I put it on a TRX4 Sport. That required quite a bit of modification to the chassis. Biggest change was shortening the rear rails by about 3/4" to get the front fender in position to the front axle and allow for the hinge mount at the rear. I also used the MST sliders and trays (ordered extra) as the Traxxas trays were way too big/wide. Once together this is a super good looking body with a ton of detail in the lexan.
Looks great and everything installs smoothly. Durable! My only gripe is that the rear cage while looks great... is heavy, i've dremelled holes and cuts to make it lighter.
Great project can’t wait to paint it! Always a great experience with Amain!
Amazing body fit perfectly on my scx10 chassis still waiting on a couple of parts to complete the build highly recommend
Reviewers consistently rate the MST J45C clear body highly, with four of five giving 5/5 and one giving 4/5. Buyers note it is a complete kit with many included parts, including a full rear cage, bed, hinge mount and front bumper, which accounts for its price. Fit and installation are described as smooth. One reviewer fitting it to a TRX4 Sport needed chassis changes, including shortening the rear rails and using MST sliders and trays. Another reviewer found the rear cage heavy and modified it to reduce weight. Tips shared include lubricating the carbon steel screws and sticker placement. One reviewer noted that mounting on a CFX-W chassis requires additional parts. Overall, reviews are positive with few complaints.
