Brushless MBX-5

Nice thread Captain, Megatron sends his regards :cool:

MetalMan is correct, this motor is sensored.
The motor is a Maxcim N32 made by a fellow in New York (Maxcim Motors) He no longer makes them but will service the existing ones. I would say this motor probably compares closley to the 7xl with its 2500kv and 18 cells. So, once I got the gear ratio/cell count right, it powered the buggy around very nicely.

I did take the buggy to the track a few times but never got a chance to race it.

In the recent pictures you can see its setup with Mikes 10t mod1 pinion and the ofna 51t plastic spur. I found an ofna solid axle spur gear plate that I modified to work with the mugen center diff and the 51t spur gear. I only needed to offset the diff height slightly to get enough clearance for the spur.

The body I have for it is pretty sweet too. My buddy air brushed it for me. I'll have to post a pic of it later :)
