MST CFX-WS DC1: A Proper Rock Crawler After All!

The MST CFX-WS DC1 was unimpressive as a crawler when we first reviewed it. It was certainly pretty and went well on the trail, and as a stable platform, was certainly nicely balanced. Still, it's lack of ability on the hard stuff was disappointing.

Should we just slap on some huge tires and call it a day? Well, you could, but that would detract from its lovely scale appearance.

But what if we found some tires that were about the same size as the original 4.13" rubber, increasing its performance while maintaining those looks that attracted you to it in the first place?

Enter the Proline Super Swamper TSL SX 4.35" tires (G8 compound and included foams) on Team Raffee steelie 1.9" wheels. Did it help?

Did it ever! Join us as we check out the difference!
