Well...the mrx-3 was much more challenging to say the least. I had to make a complete AL tray...shown here...I had intended to do a revised/more precise tray in CF or AL.... Just no time right now. Like I said, it is scary fast on 6s. Actually setting up the MMM esc to work correctly with this car was a big challenge...how much braking, drag brake, punch control, etc..Due to its speed, every tiny ESC setting change made made a huge difference. It took me 3 sets of batts to dial it in.



Finding out which motor mount and size motor would fit was another issue I had to figure out. I ended up going with a Revo Electric mount sold here at RCM. Motor was a 1512 1800kv CC motor...it just fit. Securing the motor mount was another issue...not a lot of room on chassis to drill through. But, I did manage to get it done....have not run it in a yr and it is apart as I needed esc and rx from it....as there are not many smooth plots around me anymore.

As far as the mbx5...piece of cake. IT was already converted to electric as a buggy...I basically just changed diff oils, added new Revo shocks and new street tires and done.....and a new body of course.
