Quick question on Motor mount for Mugen - MBX5-T

That's really helpful, thank you for the speedy reply. I shall go ahead and (try to) close the deal on the MBX5-T :-)

I have a couple of MMM combos in use in other trucks already, so that would be a welcome choice as I am familiar with it - I was hoping that would be the suggestion, but didn't want to prejudice the replies!

That's a useful tip for locating the ESC - I'll try that.

As for battery trays, I guess I'd want to get the largest that would fit the MBX5-T. I have a whole selection of pairs of lipos in 2s, 3s, 4s, and 5s. I guess I would use 4s or 5s to gear for about 40mphe. I think that the centre-diff spur is 46T, so 14T looks good (I get 37mph on 4s from the tool?). I don't suppose anyone can tell me what the largest battery tray that Mike sells that fits an MBX5-T..?

Measure your largest battery and order a custom size tray if you like. We offer a couple "standard" trays, and also have a custom size option that allows you to enter your needed length and width of the tray. We can also make a rear esc shelf or other custom shapes on the custom tray(see picture for an example). :)

Hi Mike,

Thanks for that (lovely clean install pic by the way! ;-)

The MBX5-T got away (last minute went out of my price range), but I am absolutely still planning on picking up a truggy to convert, and I guess current favourite is the Mugen (though I am sure there are other great options I could pick)

So as soon as I snag one, I know what I need to order up :-)

So I finally got that MBX5-T to convert... I have the motor, ESC, everything except the electric motor mount... and they are out of stock here

Please say that they'll be in by tomorrow..?

Or is there another option? ( I don't want a whole Tekno chassis, just a simple bolt-in product)
