Hey guys, I picked this up because I've always wanted a 1/8 truggy and finally found a roller for a decent price. It got here a few month's ago and had all the nitro stuff except the motor on it so first thing I did was take all that stuff off and start planning on how I want to do the conversion. I ended up using the RcMonster conversion mount for it and a castle 2200 in it with a Hobby King 120a esc. Here are some pictures of it as it as I got it with the nitro stuff removed.

Then I got a Proline Bull Dog body for a MBX6-T and trimmed it up to fit and it is waiting to be masked and painted. I also picked up a Turnigy Heavy Duty 4000mah 4s Li-Po thats rated at 60-120c.

Here is the body trimmed up and fit on the truck.

And the battery I picked up for it.

Yesterday was a pretty good day for the MBX5-T. The RC-Monster motor mount, servo plave, and pinion gear came in and I was able to get the truck all together. I went to my LHS Tuesday to get some paints so I could try to paint the body but they didn't have the colors I needed so I still need to order paint's so I can get the body done but other than that the truck is done for now.

Here is the RC-Monster motor mount.

Here is the servo plate and the 17t RC-Monster pinion.

Mugen script with the RC-Monster dude on the back of the motor mount.

Just because I was curious I pulled out my Castle 1717 to see if it would fit in the truck with the RC-Monster motor mount and it pretty well does, The rear chassis brace hole needs to be moved over because it hit's the can but other than that the motor would fit. I am not going to run it in this though because my battery tray is only mean for 4s and I don't like running the 1717 on anything other than 6s.
