ultra MBX...in the beginning...
 

Hello all

This is my newest project in it's early stage of BL conversion. Ultra MBX 80% kit. I have two 18v 3000mah makita Li-Ion battery packs for it. Warrior 9920 controller that i'm scapping for a Quark 125b Monster, I currently have a BK 9L that i'm scrapping for a 8XL. I traded the funky rear brace for Traxxas Tubes how do you like em? Oh and these are the tires I have for it.:018:

another
 

oh and heres another future conversion Ofna 9.5 Pro

looks to be coming along. Should be a nice conversion when done.

thanx
 

Thanx coolhandcountry

Does anyone know if there are cva's or universals for the rear and center for the Ultra MBX like the ones on the 9.5 pro in the pics ??:032:

Looking good! Are those tires on the 9.5 Proline Knuckles?
I think the Traxxas Tubes are a good trade-off for the stock rear plate.

yup
 

Yup those are ProLine knuckles good eye:017: The 9.5 belongs to a friend of mine who turned me on to the Brushless setup.

thats a good friend

nice work!

Nice keep up the good work!!
Always like the 1/8 buggy conversions.

How much did that mill cost ya?

What on earth are you going to make out of those block's of alum?

OH yeah I see some customizing in the future now. :D

It looks like this one:

at $459.99

HarborFreight also has a smaller one:

at $249.99
I've been thinking about buying this one for some time. I'd expect it would handle just about any normal R/C part, short of a chassis.

I might look into that mini drill, looks promicing. Looks like it can handle about anything on that we work on.
