mugen prospec nue, quark, and 5s lipos
revo g-maxx plenty, mgm 2 2s lipos

Both trucks look awesome! Nice work. How are you liking the Plettenberg motor? Is it a Maxximum or Bigmaxximum?

i feel the motor is worth the investment very smooth and powerful (maxximum with fan) this motor is easy to get up here in the great white north eh.

How does the handling compare between the two trucks?

the truggy is better all round handling jumping and i can get a better and smoother run overall. i almost sold the revo before i did the conversion, meaning the best result was the sway bars and good tires, then i was very happy with the revo !!! i didn't want to put a big block motor the weight is too much for the track i feel. i did the g-maxx and trans and bl now i really enjoy the revo !! i will drive the revo more then the truggy ! the truggy is stable smooth and fun to drive at the track.

Hm, I like. Interesting how much chunkier the revo is compared to mugen, given they are more or less the same size. What are the weights like between the two?

the truggy is a bit heavier then the revo, both just around 9.5 lbs.

great trucks you got!!!! I'm thinking of getting the tekno swaybars for my revo is it worth it? I use my two trucks for racing as well.see my signature

Is that with the extra battery cell? If you ran 4s in both would that even the weight out do you think? 1515 is probably slightly heavier than the plettenburg as well.
Anyway nice cars. I'm more of a truggy fan, so I like the mugen most.

Nice conversions Super Dave...

Woohoo more Canadians on this forum...

Yep for Canadian:party::party:
I just bought a Mugen MBX5T prospec, with the same setup tat your's, but i'll run it on 4s.
Great conversion, love it!

Like the revo. idk why but i like e-revo's alot more than nitro one's. oh wait i know why! there brushless lol

Hi Super Dave,

I really like the pair of trucks you have there. Looking good. I see that you are using blue balloons to protect the receivers from splashes of water & moisture yes ? I must learn from u.

i saw a big differnce with the sway bars right away and had to change my driving style a bit, yes a big plus on the sways,i don't bash but i can say big difference at the track

those are tamiya ballons from lhs thick rubber so they are nice.
