My MBX5T Build Thread

[Aceldama]

I apologize in advance as this isn't going to be much of a build thread for a while as I'm waiting to sell off my Monster GT and related nitro junk before I start buying the required components. But I might as well post the picture I do have and throw out some ideas.

Here's what I've got so far:


What you're looking at are 'custom' battery trays made from chopping up an old Tower Hobbies NiXX charger I was throwing away. It just so happens that my 3s battery foam mockups modeled after Flightmax lipos fit perfectly. I was thinking of putting a Gorlliamax strap on each tray, lengthwise.

I've also got a set of new MBX5T rims with Badlands mounted on them.

Planning:
-RC-Monster motor mount and brake spacer
-2x Zippy Flightmax 3s batteries, 5000mah (series)
-Medusa 70mm or CC/Neu motor (if they release a 1600kv range motor)
-HobbyWing 150A controller

The idea is to keep the stock servo holders because they look great and I want mechanical brakes.

I'll update this thread when I come up with more pictures or mindless blather, please feel free to comment and thanks for checking it out.
