hey dickyt do u know about how much it weights. i was just trying to figure out how much mine might weight when im done.

8.1 lbs rtr on the digital scale at my jobs engineering dept :) heavier than I wanted, but oh well.. I was hoping for 7.5'ish. where can I scrub .6 lbs?

wow thats not bad. when mine was nitro with no gas it weight 8 pounds.

if you really want to lose those .6 pounds just go out and buy the titanium screw set for it. the upper and lower. it it well lose about 1/2 a pound. but they are not cheap. its like 20$ for the lower since there are only 12 screws. and its 50$ for the upper since there are like (i think 32) screws. but it makes a big difference.

my buddy has them on his 5r and i dont on my 5r and its a day and night difference.

You can't... It sucks when you know that your buggy can't be any lighter. I supposed you could drop down to a smaller motor/battery, but there's no fun in that.

Ti Screws and Aluminum pivot balls seem to be my only options. Smaller motor? NAH :lol: and my battery is not big. 4s 5000 mah neu power. I would not want to run any smaller in here.

A 1512 instead of the 1515 will save you just over 2oz.

very pricey solution...:yes: i'm just a basher, it is honestly ok as it is, mugen are known as tanks too. 7.5 was a goal, 8.1 is acceptable. I can't get over how nimble this thing in compared to my revo.

u can get 7.5 with those ti screws. mine weights 8 pounds and my friend with ti screws weights 7.5 pounds.

I picked up a traxxas e-revo\slash rx box today and finished off the conversion. All the wires tucked away nice. I dremeled a channel in the bottom of the battery tray to run the servo to the rx box and ran the esc around the base of the rear brace.

Lookin good man! Are those bald spots in the tires from you or the previous owner?

Thanks, No those are from running 3 packs on asphault :lol:

Hmm... slight tire balloon issue? rofl

Last night I added carbon fiber mud guards and I just ordered the upper and lower titanium screw sets. hopefully no more stripped out screw heads and less weight is a plus!

When I first got my MBX-5 running I pulled it out and ran it on the street by my house.

After going back and forth like 3 times and the entire foam insert came out of this little hole and flew 20 feet in the air. :mdr:
