You just built the Max Pro Dash DX? This kit hasn't even shipped yet as far as I'm aware.

It has been out on Ebay for a week or two. I do know someone started one on FB. He did the suspension and said the fit is good and it's an improvement over the Cougar 4x4 kit.

Thanks Jason,
I ordered one off ebay 3 weeks ago, should be in soon, glad to hear its an improvement over the cougar, I built the MATV and although it took a huge amount of work I actually enjoyed building it. We'll see I guess.

Sound like I need to advertise the ultimate Maxx-Pro reference again.
ALL variants, interiors, underside details, no pages to eventually fall out...

I have been off and on building their M-ATV as well. I usually work on it for a couple days, then put it away for a couple weeks. It takes forever, but I actually am enjoying it in small bits as well (It also has all the ProArt stuff in it, so that build is REALLY slow and involved)

Cool Nick, Just so happens my kit came in today, I'll have to wait till tomorrow to get a look at it.

Jason, yeah the MATV is not an easy kit to build and it does have it's issues, I got the pro art update kit with full interior and it really looks good. I hope the MAXX PRO is better.

IT'S NOT THAT HARD GUYS!!!!!!!!!!!!!! All those antennas and no communication equipment to go with them. The big antenna on the left rear is for Harris radios, not included. A DUKE anti-IED antenna, but no DUKE control box. A FBCB2 transceiver, but no keyboard, monitor, or CPU. I do see 4 Crew Station boxes for the VIC intercom system, but no Master Control Station Box. No SATCOM radio for the SATCOM antenna. Not even a SINCGARS set up. The box shows a DVE(Drivers Vehicle Enhance) system, but the is no monitor provided that goes above the steering wheel for the driver.

It sounds like nit picking, but with a kit with an interior that you can see pretty good into, you probably would want to have everything in there that goes with the stuff mounted on it outside.

We pretty much know all the comms equipment is missing, hell there aren't many kits that include them anyway so...reference material is the only way we can see what is missing. Some may just want to build OOB, and could care less if all that is missing or not, not me, I love adding all that crap in. Although I pass by SPAYWAR every day and see TONS on military hardware including Max pros' lots of them! I can't stop to take photos or I'll be met by armed security who don't particularly give a crap about my model building. So I either resort to the web or take advantage of Roberts material, Which I know is great stuff.

Now when the Panda Buffalo A-2 comes out I'll have AWESOME reference pics for that.

Kit number 35012 looks the same version of cougar than the Meng Model kit.
