Another MBX6T-Brushless Conversion

The Tekin ESC is almost identical weight as the servo(within 1/2 oz).
The motor is a little lighter than the battery(depends on the battery), but the center diff is also on the motor side(not centered in the chassis).

Actually, the Tekno kit is basically a mirror of mine from a weight balance perspective(Tekno has motor, diff and esc on one side with the battery and servo on the other - RC-Monster has motor, diff and servo on one side with battery and esc on the other). My kit centers the receiver, but the weight of either kit is similarly balanced, albeit on opposite sides of the chassis(swap esc for servo basically). As I said previously, there is not a very appreciable balance issue either way, especially on a truggy. A heavy battery will skew the weight balance with any setup - you could add weight to offset if you think it is necessary.

As a side note, my motor mount can also be used on the front side for a dual battery setup(motor next to steering servo in front left). Dual batteries could be placed on the rear(2s on motor side and 3s on other side perhaps).

There are many ways to skin the cat, as they say. Our kit is as well balanced as anything else out there, but you could go crazy with lead weights and a scale if you really want to get silly with it. Most folks wouldn't know the difference - in fact, a nitro car's balance changes with the fuel level, so if you don't notice this then it is unlikely that you would notice any imbalance on an electric converted car, which maintains a constant balance thoughout the run.

ok thank you. i bought the rc monster motor mount.
now i search a good place for the esc on my mugen. i would take it to the same place as on the picture

Haven't tested my tekno kit because of my broken RX8. I recieved my esc yesterday and soon i'm going to the track to compare both setups. Position for ESC on my "RC monster style" setup was not bad. If you use a RX8 make shure you put some foam underneed it.

Now i'm thinking about NOT getting a Tekin set up

Hi Brushlessracer,

I saw that you're racing 1:8 brushless set-ups, and that you live in Sittard. This event might interest you: http://www.rcbigscaleforum.nl/forum/...?f=27&p=208486
It's not that far away from Sittard... Hopefully I've got time left and I can go the 15th of November. (I'll only watch, as I haven't got transponder) And I'm planning to practice the 2nd of January there and maybe race on the 3rd of January. (If I get a transponder lol)

Well, I might see you/your car there!

I'm busy testing setups on some other Tracks that time. There is also a winterchamp brushless comp comming up this winter. I don't know if I'm joining the winterbash from MBS. The guys from MBS have already count me in I saw
The biggest event is Nitromania In Beerse Belgium Jan 2010
Please Check www.no-nitro.nl so we can speak dutch

Hmm, looks good! Finally brushless races are coming here in the Netherlands/Belgium/Germany

I didn't know that site, I'll look around on it. Do you maybe know some other sites which are brushless related and Dutch?

would there be anywhere a plastic spur gear avaiable?

a 46 plastic spur gear for the mugen mbx6/T center diff?

hi there

can you tell me what diff oils you use in your brushless mugens

i have the mmm2200 combo and so much front balooning. i drive 20k 20k 5k in the diffs. this is waht i drive with the nitro powerde mugen to. with a littel changings this is a good set up for most tracks

I run 10/20/2.

[RC-Monster Mike]

You may try squeezing the throttle a little slower, too. I use 7/10/2 - if I grab instant full throttle the tires balloon, but when I drive in control, the setup works wonderfully. :)

[jzemaxx]

Yeah or turn punch control down some.

In other words, make it act like a nitro.

Exactly.....neuter it.

I run 7/10/3. Works perfect with a concave throttle profile. Very little to no ballooning.
