my new mbx6t - 09.06.2009, 06:40 PM

Sold my erevo rtr and picked up the mbx6t kit. I was previously racing a converted 5t so I wanted to stay with Mugen. The build was super, super easy and relaxing. Took all my electronics from my 5t and viola, it's done. Set it up yesterday at a local high school (droop, shocks, etc.) and took it to the track today. All I can say is WOW, this baby handles on rails. I was pulling the fastest laps in my life. The truggy steers like a buggy. It flies like an arrow over our 25ft double, soaks up our rhythm sections very straight, and lands like it's on a pillow. I can't believe how easy this truggy is to drive. My friend has a losi 2.0T and that thing handles amazing, but I think the 6T has it beat,

One thing about this truck is, my esc and motor run about 30 degrees cooler. It is noticeably lighter and my diffs fluids are set-up different. Not sure what else it could be. Over-all I am super, super happy.

Set up:
-stock mbx6t
-Tekin rx8 2000 combo running 4s
-7955 steering servo
-slipperential
-10, 7, 3k diff set-up
-40lb front shocks, 50lb rear

I have driven: revo, losi, cen, crt, and a odonnell. I must say the Mugen is the best. I highly recommend this truck. Mugen takes it.

I will get some video at the track soon.
