Here are some pics of my MBX5.
The pics really don't do it any justice, especially the paint job looks much better in real live.

I got it used from Starscream, and gave it a good make-over.

Looking good Daf. Did you do the paint job?

Dafni · 02.14.2006, 06:57 AM

No, paint job was done by a friend of Starscream.

But the wiring is my job...wait, what wires? :004:

Nice!!!!!! What XL is that (kv?)

Dafni · 02.14.2006, 04:20 PM

Thank you!

It's an 8XL, 1600and something KV. Only the test dummy, though. Will bust out a Lehner when the weather get's better (Lipo)

6S of maxamps right?

Dafni · 02.14.2006, 04:30 PM

Yeah, and/or 5S. And a 1950/8.

A much smaller motor would do in a buggy, but it's just "too light" with lipos, so I had to compensate with a heavy motor. LOL

The bottom chasiss is that custom built? It don't look factory. Looks pretty good.

Could you get a close-up of the motor mount? It looks very nice and clean BTW.

Mike.L · 02.14.2006, 07:51 PM

A close up of the mount? Not a problem, but it might take some time. I need to borrow a digicam. Maybe over the weekend, okay?

Thanks for the comments!

I like the wiring job a lot, will be hard to surpass it on the G3R.

Wow, pure sweetness! For some reason I thought you'd finished this already, not sure why, but good to hear it'll be running soon.

Dafni · 02.15.2006, 03:54 AM

It IS running, I use it to test different motors. But unfortunately it is still too cold for Lipos here, so I have to make do with my Nickel cells.

And yeah, it WAS running a while back, but with a mess of a wire job... can't have this, gave me sleepless nights ;)

And yeah, Leroy, this chassis is a custom job. Done by Starscream, I just added some bends and the black color.
