If you only have played with nitro and never with Brushless set ups you are in for a treat. The electric version, BL, will be much quicker and more fun to drive.

A couple of things...

1. You will need to check your diffs for ANY play...eliminate the play with shims. Bl has so much more torque than nitro it will eat your diffs if not done correctly

2. your diff oils will change...in my mbx5t I run 20-100 -15 on a 5s set up and it rips. I only bash so I wanted to minimize balooning

3. speaking of ballooning, did you by chance tape the inside of your tires before gluing? If you didn't, next time to also help with pancake tires

4. try to keep your curse words to a minimum when you see the new power plant in action for the first time ;)

5. here is a link to a great resource tool.....provided by a moderator of this site....http://www.scriptasylum.com/rc_speed/index.html Just pick a category, plug in the appropriate numbers and you are off to the races

6. have fun!!!!


1. MBX-6 T8 1900KV, RX8 ON 4S
2. MBX-5T 1520, MMM ON 5S
3. MBX-5 ONROAD CONVERSION 1515, MMM ON 5S
4. MRX-3 ON ROAD CONVERSION 1512, MMM ON 6S
5. TEN T 2650 T8, MMP ON 3S
