I can relate to your pain... My mbx-5 started out nitro and set up was $ 1,200-. Now add the BL conversion, 6 batts. RCM mount, 1512, MGM & MMM esc V1, etc......

All in all total investment is roughly...$ 2,500- I did sell some of the nitro stuff to help w/some purchases. All in all this is a v/expensive hobby, but seeing my buggy fly in the air and go by me doing 40+ mph. I realize that it is worth all the trouble and money. Besides, there are a lot of OTHER hobbies we could be doing that are not so on the up and up.....:whistle:

Yaaa in deed..:party::yipi:. Thanks Ryan..

Have a great one Sir..

Shaun.



Anytime Sir..:intello:

P.S.
How’s that hang over treating you from the TQ (?):na:


Thanks for the kind words TB.. I'll have video of them all up soon racing head-to-head..
It promise nothing but good times ahead for upcoming bashings & races..

Have a great one Sir..

Shaun.



Mr T.. I like that name!..
Anyway.. sorry.. I defiantly agree I still have my stock 808 and have not broken anything on it yet!, it takes a complete beating and is just assume at the track.. I don’t agree that X-Ray isn’t making any money, actually they just raised all of there prices across the board (I think 12%). And due to the fact that the stock 808 cost $599 and the Alm is $504 (something is just wrong!). but nobody forced me to get all this stuff personnel choice 100%..

Thanks for your time and for stopping by..

Have a great day Sir.

Shaun.




Hay magman.. I know you can relate, I’ve seen your build (fricken sweet!) :party: and yes I can relate to your above statement all to well “but seeing my buggy fly in the air and go by me doing 40+ mph. I realize that it is worth all the trouble and money”. :yes:

And yes there are much worse things we could be blowing our money on, but I'm way to old for that crap now and as long as I can keep my wife in the dark about everything I'm GOOD TO GO.. :lol:

I think this is the most expensive buggy around!

I think I like the CF parts better, but having both, and TOP of the line makes me VERY jealous LOL

^+1!

if your ever having that urge to lighten your back pocket, i take paypal, any currency! cookie_monster_in_321@hotmail.com :P jks, wihtout people like you id still be in the dark, what most dont realise is, by experimenting and posting about it others like me short on cash can make an informed decisision and save money overall, so many thanks!

Can I have close up pics of how you mounted the Traxxas Receiver box on the servo tray please. Awesome work you did!

It’s just a Traxxas 3905 rx box off eBay for like $7.00 then I have some industrial Velcro for the bottom to the top of the servo box. I’ve only lost one box during a horrendous crash.. I’ll pm you some pictures of it soon.

Simple, cheep, quick and watertight!.. :intello:

Awesome... Thanks man! Looking forward to it.

Photobucket is down :no: :neutral: I'll get them to you tomorrow.. Sorry.
