Well I guess I have two choices...

- Sell my mugen MBX5 MSR-T and get the OFNA Roller 190 + RCM mount 45 +body 50 = 285

- Convert my MBX5 MSR-T - Buy body mount/front bumper setup, tires, body = 125

- (buying another truck is not an option! - i promised I would not cross double digits (again)!

The MBX5 chasis is extended to truggy though and has the offset hubs - I need to check if I have the orginal parts else not sure the body will fit well.

Option 1 is sounding the best as I should get I hope 250 for the Mugen - so almost a wash.

Only question i have is reliability of the LSPP - I only just completed the conversion and immediately smoked that hybrid motor. The bumpers look a bit fragile compared to the MBX5 but I get the crt .5 ones do to and they hold up ok.

Also need to get happy with a motor in there with the flipped diff - but I'm just see a 1515 squeezed in so a 1512 should fit ok. Geared right this should be ok for a truggy? IIRC the MMM is a 1512 clone so was targetting that to go in there.

Opinions sought...
