Michael P- It will be based on this but without the fancy front flares...


wrnfx- Hope it does well. If so then it will lead into other bodies

Oxy- No toe stickers. Maybe I guess if I raised the hood line for the M18 since it has the higher top deck. I'll have to test and see if I do proceed with it.

Ghiro- Thanks

Most guys just use a camber gauge anyways. You stand the car straight up, resting either the front or rear tires on the board and rest the camber gauge against the tires and you have the toe angles If a car has bumpers in the way then I just use calipers and measure the front edge then rear edge of the tires. The stickers are over rated I think

Speaking of bodies- anybody have a mini Desert Gator body they want to sell? They are discontinued so I'm having no luck finding these... really need one to test fit on some projects and maybe develop that body further.

Mike, if you are a person that buys from other stores and overseas then RCMart has 7 left. BTW do they fit well on the MXT?

i just cut my mini desert gator body for my mxt chassis, its little too long, and a little to wide for my liking, but it looks soooo nice make that body just a fraction smaller in some areas and it will fit like a glove on the chassi!

i can post a pic on it as soon as i have painted it!

BTW, very nice chassi! really looking forward to test it!!
