mbx5t monster is aliiiiiiive :-)
 

after a few weeks of researching,uming and arring,scratching,then buying,waiting(usps love to tease and draw deliveries out aye:lol:),assembling followed by some more waiting then final assembling........ my mbx5t brushless conversion is done.wow,this makes touring car driving feel like watching paint dry:yipi: finished it late last night at a friends place(dinner was waved as we were in the middle of some serious lipo tray construction).10.30pm there we were like two 5 year olds on christmas morning,out in the backyard in the dark cold drizzly night unleashing the trug. then after a long slow day clockwatching at work today i got to have a good rip around with the truggy in a sports field.all i can say is DAAAAAAAAAAAAANG:party: this thing is cool.the mmm v3 ran sweet.the pinions v spur is a wee bit noisey but the acceleration soon blocks the noise out.turnigy 5000mah 30c seems to be a good power source. i think i have to change the diff oil in the front diff as the front tires balloon big time.
anywho,am glad its all done.many thanks to those who endured my noobish questions on this forum over the last few weeks,chur:yes:

Looks cool, i looking ay doing my 5T,looks like it will be worth it :intello:.

If you put a heavier oil in the centre diff it will stop the front tyres from ballooning.

Ross

Ditto to what Ross said, heavier center diff oil will minimize the fronts ballooning. If you go heavier front diff oil you will get more on-power steering, but less off-power steering.

I am running the exact same set up as you...( motor, esc, batt. ) in my diffs is as follows:

Front 20K
Center 20K
Rear 7K

I have minimal ballooning and it rips. Nice to see more Mugens here :yipi:
