Key Features
- Purpose-Built for MST 4WD Off-Road Kit with J4 Jimny Body — This rear ladder is engineered specifically for compatibility with the MST 4WD Off-Road Car Kit featuring the J4 Jimny body, ensuring a perfect fit without modification or adjustment required. This precision fit means you can install it with confidence, knowing it will align correctly and look authentic on your model.
- Durable Nylon Construction — Manufactured from strong, durable nylon material, the rear ladder is built to withstand the demands of active RC use, including weathering, UV exposure, and the occasional contact during off-road driving. Nylon is an ideal material choice for scale RC accessories because it offers excellent durability whilst remaining lightweight, which is crucial for maintaining the performance characteristics of your RC 4WD crawler.
- Lightweight Design — Weighing only 0.09 oz (2.7 grams), this rear ladder adds virtually no weight to your MST kit. This is critically important because weight distribution and overall vehicle balance directly affect off-road performance, handling characteristics, and battery runtime. The lightweight construction ensures you get authentic scale detailing without any negative impact on your RC 4WD's driving performance.
- Realistic Scale Proportions — With dimensions of 0.89 inches length, 0.46 inches width, and 4.00 inches height (22.7mm × 11.9mm × 101.8mm), the rear ladder maintains proper scale proportions that accurately represent a real Jimny's rear access ladder. These carefully calculated dimensions ensure that when installed on your MST J4 body, the ladder looks proportionally correct and authentic from every viewing angle.
- Includes Installation Hardware — The package includes four M2 × 5mm cross head self-tapping screws, providing everything you need for secure installation. These are the correct specification fasteners designed to work with your MST 4WD chassis without requiring sourcing of additional hardware or adapters.
- Complements Existing RC4WD Accessories — This rear ladder integrates beautifully with other RC4WD accessories designed for the MST J4 Jimny body, allowing you to build a comprehensive, cohesive scale model. Whether paired with roof racks, bumpers, turn signal light lenses, door locks, window trim decals, spare tyre holders, or other detailing accessories, the rear ladder combines with these components to create an exceptionally detailed, show-quality 1/10 scale representation.
Technical Performance
The RC4WD Rear Ladder exemplifies the engineering philosophy behind creating truly authentic scale RC models. The construction utilises high-quality nylon that has been specifically selected for its combination of strength, durability, and lightweight characteristics—critical factors in scale RC 4WD design where every fraction of a gram impacts performance. The nylon material is resistant to UV degradation, meaning your ladder will maintain its appearance and structural integrity through extended outdoor use and sun exposure. At just 2.7 grams, this accessory achieves the remarkable engineering feat of adding authentic detail without introducing the weight penalty that could compromise your MST 4WD's climbing ability, ground clearance characteristics, or battery runtime. The precision-moulded construction ensures consistent quality across every unit, with clean edges, accurate proportions, and proper fitting points that align perfectly with the MST J4 Jimny body. The inclusion of four M2 × 5mm cross head self-tapping screws demonstrates that RC4WD has engineered this as a complete solution—the fasteners are sized appropriately for scale work, preventing over-fastening that could crack delicate plastic components whilst ensuring secure installation that will survive rock crawling, trail bashing, and repeated handling. This level of attention to engineering detail is what separates premium RC accessories from basic alternatives, and it's exactly what you should expect from RC4WD, one of the most respected names in scale RC crawling.
