My MBX5R conversion
 

Hi guys :)

Ive decided to throw some brushless stuff on my buggy roller thats been sitting ere for awhile. I had originally planned on useing a BCE chassis, but as nice as it is, its just not a very good setup for brushless, it will work, but... the stock chassis is much better so far!

I had redone the 5r last nite shortly after my last test drive with the other chassis, but didnt get to take it out for a test rip until this morning heheh. I was useing a Castle 1515 with both 16, and 18t pinion, and it was ok.. Today I tried it with the Tekin 2250 and 18t pinion, and holy balls does this thing ever rip! Its like a missle heheh. But to be fair, I did drop a little bit of weight by going back to the stock chassis, and the Tekin motor is noticeably lighter then the Castle is. It handles very well, and definately turns on a dime, I havent had anything turn like this does.

Pix!!

I loved my mbx5 ...but ran out of places to run at so I bought the 5T as it can be run almost anywhere. Both are built like tanks for sure.

Just a minor update..

I love this thing! Its awsome for just ripping around the house and front street with :yipi:

I have it geared for around 70 lol, its a real hoot :wink:

I swapped out the stock chassis to the BCE one.. I like it :)

Its a bit dirty from drifting around on the front strret heheh

Nice buggy, looks good with the Ofna 16mm big bores on there.

If you ever want to try a little bit different setup check out the RC-Monster MBX5 mount.

Thanks man! I know Im getting tired of these tekno mounts.

I got a few prepaid cc's for xmas, I will be placeing my order within the next few days! I got a deal on the tekno mount with a few pinions, its the only reason why I am even messing with them :lol:
