    I would like to see some wipers made next week. For that JScale MJ. Which is then put on this chassis cause frankly the Sport bodies don't do it for us Jeep guys. My Class 2 is the same MJ cab but with a metal truggy back. First time I have chopped off half a frame rail. Was strangely satisfying.

    I just put a back half cage on my trx4 sport and it turned out great! I used the proline Ford f250 cab body and the only modifications I had to do for it to fit is removing the rear inner fenders that i had installed, removing the rear bumper, removing the rock sliders cause they hung down WAY to low from the bottom of the body, I had to do a bit of trimming around the bottom edges of the body, and since I wasnt able to use the fuel cell integrated in the body, i drilled holes behind it for the body posts. Then my next issue was that I couldn't get body clips through the posts because they were hitting the fuel cell. To fix this I drilled holes going in the opposite direction in the rear body posts so that the clip doesnt interfere with the fuel cell integrated in the cage. If you want to see the final product check out my channel, Trax RC for more info!

    Says the trx4 body with the rack is too heavy for performance (I agree, took mine off aswell) but then puts a even heavier cage in the back. At less it looks good but we'll have to see if the performance gets better with that🤔
