my mugen mbx5t build

Sorry to hear that you chewed up your gear. As much as I like the plastic ones to reduce noise, I am sticking with the steel one for just your reason. If you could find a Tekin truggy motor that would work as well...such as a TT2353 which is a 1700kv or a TT2352 1900kv. Both motors are bigger than the 1512 you are using and will surely run cooler as well due to longer and larger rotor. Many used ones can be found on RCTech for sale. I buy a lot of my gear used there

Well we finally had a break in the weather so i set out on a early morning voyage before heading off to work. I was able to run a 5s pack through it before i had to leave the track. I learned my driving skills weren't quite up to par yet and ended up destroying my Ofna hd wing (which i hear is pretty common for that wing?)

This was my 1st time running the slipperential so i didn't know what to look for in slip. noises, etc. All appeared normal, but every now and then i swear i kept hearing something...

well lunch rolled around and i set out to the track again! This time with my 6s pack, still my driving skills weren't so good and i ended up cracking the front of my body from a few nose dives. I was still leery of the slipperential at this point, but continued to run it.

Well i got home and was still uneasy so i tore it apart and found all 4 of the spider gears had turned the 30k diff fluid into a metallic gray matter.. I was a little miffed at this point so i installed the stock center diff but it seems it likes to rain a lot here in the pacific northwest...

The weather has been really weird here in the pacific north west lately and with work i haven't had much time at all to take any of my Rc's out for spin

Before i get ahead of my self here, a while back i had bought some Proline Maxx mashers for my gf's emaxx and to use on my MGT, well when i converted my MGT over with a 1717 and 6s it started to eat 14mm hexes in the rims and i had already patched them up with JB welded hexes inside... So i got bored and decided i would boil them off and boil off the half bald truggy tires i had and mount the mashers up on my 17mm hex truggy rims! While i was at it i also ran a single 1" strip in the center of the tire to keep them from ballooning


Well while the gf was at work i decided to take my mugen back out sense the last time when I destroyed my Slipperential... I feel the stock diff with the same 30k oil felt better to drive all together. I got good traction with the mashers on there and on 6s i could get a little wheelie out of the truggy, I was only gonna run for a couple mins beacause i thought the 1512 would have a hard time with all that tire mass now.


I ended up running half the pack before i decide i should quit while i was head and i had started to get trigger happy while playing in the snow I also have not water proofed anything Don't mind the no wing lol, I have on on order.

I was so impressed with how this actually turned out! I really wanted to keep my truggy for strictly on the track...but after seeing what its capable of I'm very impressed and not sure what i want to do once i get a actual truggy motor for this thing!
