[@RCACTIONAUSTRALIA]

Nice looking Kit 😎

[@vintagemind8155]

Looks Awesome 🤩

[@michaelqendro9825]

Wow, nice kit. I love how the bags are neatly numbered for organisation.

[@prophetate]

So greatful for your playlist building the MST CFX-W C45J been looking at it while building my own C45J :)

[@RCKickschannel]

It’s a great truck. I still have the driving video to do before that series is finished. Coming soon

[@prophetate]

@@RCKickschannel Yes I wanna see that! I have decided to paint mine in dark gun metal greay :) and after my first drive I will decide what to upgrade on it :)

[@acereport8939]

It’s about time! MST is really a good brand and many of the chassis are compatible with Tamiya bodies.

[@rexrcs]

They started with drift stuff wayyy back and became a competitive company quickly. I use to run a hobby shop with some friends

[@michaeldack4930]

More manufactures should do more build kits!

[@xXYannuschXx]

Kits should become the standard again, I am seriously done with incorrectly build RTRs that often come with electronics I just throw out.

[@rcworxshop]

The CFX-W, had a blast with mine, it was my go to crawler, it took an absolute beating, snapped a few shafts axial scx10,s fit, the transmission is absolutely solid 👍🏻👍🏻

[@rcyalater...2305]

Really pumping out the vids bud. Dig it! Keep it up! 👍

[@RCKickschannel]

Appreciate it, thanks! More to come over the coming weeks.

[@stephenkelly8065]

About time ! I’ve been building, selling MST kits for years. If you wheelie want to have some fun get yourself an MTX-1 kit and Chuck a cheap brushless in it ! Better than Tamiya and cheap as chips.

[@rcworxshop]

Ohh and I rate the tyres in the wet on rocks👌🏻👌🏻

[@freddieflanders]

I have a mst cfx ( no portals and smaller ) and it’s great, it can have the wheelbase adjusted and it fits under all the cco1 body’s well

[@rexrcs]

Excellent. Refilling my pop glass for this one, Ive been interested

[@parkecorepersonaltrainingp2601]

Love all the vids Gavin. Well done on the channel and great content and style of presentation 👍👍keep up the great work

[@CarminesRCTipsandTricks]

Positively a great bit of Kit!! My old Friend, Matteo Meyer turned me on to them about 12 Years ago. The Planetary Gears work great!! The Driveshafts and Tyres should be replaced, but the rest of it is excellent. 😉

[@craigroberts8105]

This looks a really great kit build 😊

[@warwickeioncampbell4737]

My first crawler was a Mst CMX a mid motor narrower version of it. Mst has a number of upgrades for it and there is interchangeability bumper and body wise. 313 mm is a common wheel base for crawlers. the chassis rail spacing is the same as Axial crawlers.

[@GTMatukka]

CFX is a great truck, i have one modded. You can compete it as stock but you have to change the tires. -W is bigger with portals.

[@Glowingtomato]

Cool truck I've been tempted to get the kit with the Jimny body

[@pwayne3580]

Just finished one of these. The body is top notch with endless options for any type of build. However, I think wheel extensions and bigger tires are a must. They improved the crawling performance 2X. Otherwise I think it is an excellent kit for great value.

[@RCKickschannel]

Thanks for the info!

[@SevenWelt]

Cool ! 👍

[@nickrobertson2450]

Wow. That looks really good quality! Moments like this I think why did I buy all these Tamiyas? Lol

[@Tamiyastef]

I'm not easily jealous but now you have me... I believe MST is a Suisse company, not Chinese. Although the whole kit is probably produced in China :-) I have a MST chassis kit to build and a Tamiya Defender body to put on top of that but I love the looks of this J45C as well. Do yourself a favor and change the plastic kit wheels to steel/alu beadlocks from the start to get some extra unsprung weight. GPM has some nice examples for €20 a pair. MST has some really nice detailed manuals and the fact the parts are packed per building step makes these kits easy to build even if you have to stop and clear your "building space" in between the different steps.

[@RCKickschannel]

Thanks for the wheel tip.

[@rexrcs]

Planetary gears is a great way to do gear reduction

[@Warwick3511]

The only problem with the planetary gears is you can't change the ratio.

[@rexrcs]

@@Warwick3511 this is a very true statement, thats something some will need to consider. , we’ll find a problem in every solution, us humans lol

[@AddamsPlayground]

Although they are not super popular trucks I have heard so good things about them and it certainly looks awesome. I do think the kit version has some upgrades to the RTR. I want to say the shocks and the drive shafts are upgraded items versus what comes on the RTR. Either way looks like great kit to build up and you should have a blast with it!!!

[@YoShImUrA53]

Unfortunately, not the case. Stock driveshafts are all the same poor plastic. Worth investing in the upgraded metal ones if you plan to run it for more than a few hours or through some touch tracks, in my experience. Not aware of any kit upgrades. The CMX and CFX at least, don't even come with bearings standard...

[@nickrobertson2450]

Do you have many out takes of the spinning box entry?

[@adrianharrison5208]

So how many times did you have to shoot the intro :) that looks like a really nice kit and I love the fact that it also comes in a build kit

[@RCKickschannel]

20 times lol

[@adrianharrison5208]

@@RCKickschannel lol it was well executed!

[@WIMBIRC]

cool video my friend keep it up 👍🚙🎥

[@RCKickschannel]

Thank you 👍

[@skagerstrom]

I think Axial also gives you some nicer hardware in the build kit than the RTR's.

[@MrDevo5]

ive got the rtr . got mine from rcmart. i got stiffed for everything import duties etc etc. If I couldve got hold of one in a shop i wouldnt have bothered. not a patch on a Traxxas trx4 shame really its looks great

[@richie161075]

Gavin, have you heard of the brand Gmade? They make some cool RC Crawler kits & RTR's. I currently have one of their Komodo Double Cab kits on the GD02F Chassis sitting and waiting for me to build it. But after seeing that MST CFX-W on your show earlier, that definitely does look like a quality bit of kit, so now in two minds whether to flog the Komodo and try and source this Bad Boy instead... 🤔

[@RCKickschannel]

See how I get on with the build. I hear you have to do a few mods to get it to really perform on the rocks.

[@simonkubacki9823]

I put an MST “Jeep” body on my element enduro. Unfortunately this one was unavailable when I ordered mine. These bodies are the tits

[@junr.784]

If you want to get more info about this brand and truck, check out and reach out to this youtuber - Matteo’s RC. You will not be disappointed! 🙂

[@RCKickschannel]

Yep I know Matteo’s. He has one of these already. 👍🏻

[@rexrcs]

Its taking forever for the new Tamiyas to get to Canada 😓

[@YoShImUrA53]

MST is quite shy about their origins, but I've always considered them a younger branch of Tamiya, taking the risks the parent company doesn't want to take, hence why they have the same (or else, very suspiciously similar) bodies, and both have industry standard plastic quality and instructions... I could be wrong, but those facts stand...

[@bradbarton744]

You could be very correct. Priced very competitively in nz

[@azrafkhairuddin1265]

I have the CFX kit version with a Tamiya Unimog body on it, love the material quality, the fit and finish. I have the running video on my channel if you're curious about it 😁

[@DustyFingersRC]

I would love one of these, they look great and seem to perform just as well.

[@garymurphy5133]

Why is it Tamiya can not make something like that? Are you telling me they do not have people good enough to design it. They would rather churn out old kits or use the name from a classic.

[@RCKickschannel]

The Tamiya CC-02 4x4 chassis is good but this is next level more like TRX4 stuff.

[@fatherdaughterandsonfishing]

Speak to Simon Green at greens models for anything mst/China he can get most things 😉

[@RCKickschannel]

Cool, I would like to get a few upgrades for it.

[@nickrobertson2450]

Wow. That looks really good quality! Moments like this I think why did I buy all these Tamiyas? Lol

[@RCKickschannel]

A few hehehe
