beautiful scenery

[@YoShImUrA53]

Paintjob is pure class, especially with the wooden crate detail. Love the whole combination. Thumbs up!

[@rcscientific6004]

Many thanks for watching and for your positive comment 😀

Great video, What color did you use for the roof, looks really great with matt black, thinking of doing the same on mine 😊

[@rcscientific6004]

Indeed, it is a matt black, sprayed from the outside.

Hello my friend, I love all your videos especially your tests and tutorials. I have a question: what do you think about the stock tires that came with this kit? Are they soft, do they have good grip? Thanks.

[@rcscientific6004]

Thanks for your interest. The stock tires of this MST model are not the best. The grip is low and they are too leightweight. Softness okay.

[@summersong88]

@@rcscientific6004 Thanks for getting back to me. They look good and I was interested in getting them, but your assessment helps me decide not to buy. Best wishes for the channel.

Nice video! Waiting for my jp1. What wheels offsets have you used?

[@rcscientific6004]

I extended the wheelbase with 20mm Hub Hex Wheel Drive Adapters from Banggood. Works nicely for Axial-based Chassis’ (but not for Traxxas crawlers)

@@rcscientific6004 thanks a lot!

I recently ordered the body and rear cage. the toyota grill is something aftermarket?

[@rcscientific6004]

Indeed, I ordered the Toyota Logos via Aliexpress and did stick them on.

[@jdub6797]

@@rcscientific6004 a link for the logos please

[@rcjoe406]

I'm thinking 2.2 tires would suit this truck better

[@rcscientific6004]

2.2 tires would be larger. May look interesting but they move the center of gravity further up, thus leading to a higher tendency of tilting.

[@MarcoAurelio-vi2wd]

Is this a Tamiya or Pactra paint?

[@rcscientific6004]

Neither, nor. It is CR604 CORE RC Lexan color spray Petrol Blue. I bought it at RC Planet half year ago, but don't find it anymore.
