mbx6T or RC8T factory team? - 02.04.2010, 05:51 PM

unfortunately, I could only keep one. Which would be better for elec. conversion? also which conversion would be better for eachother?

Both are NIB and If I decide one of them, then would anyone buy the other one? LOL. Thanks..

How much for either one???

As for conversions.....you can't go wrong with either one. I would suggest the one you can get parts most easily for. MBX6T is a nice truggy and is fast....but so is the RC8t.....look what Ryan Mayfield is doing with it.

I was making the same decision. RC8T CE or MBX6T.

I went for Mugen since there are quite a few things I do not like on RC8

Front kingpin bushings are stupid and hard to keep in place
Too many spacers for setting geometry
Lower shock mounting
Sway bar mounts
Chassis mud guards are too low


On mugen I do not like carbon shock towers but I was willing to spend extra $100 for aluminum ones.

i just sold the 8T. I didnt mean to use this as a selling forum, but somehow it endup being that way. Sorry Mike if I have violated the rules, but it wasnt intentional.

Anyways, I guess I have to go w/ Mugen w/ Mike's kit. Which KV motor is best for bashing and racing w/ 6S?

My vote is mugen...but I am partial due to the fact that I have a mbx5 and mbx5t. Both are built like tanks


1. MBX-6 T8 1900KV, RX8 ON 4S
2. MBX-5T 1520, MMM ON 5S
3. MBX-5 ONROAD CONVERSION 1515, MMM ON 5S
4. MRX-3 ON ROAD CONVERSION 1512, MMM ON 6S
5. TEN T 2650 T8, MMP ON 3S

i use 5S and 1700kv motor 46/16 gearing. with the same gearing 6S and 1400kv seems to be about right for 40mph. however I am a racer so i dont care about insane speeds. 40mph is enough for racing.
