Mbx5r brushless onroader

[jas21373]

Well here it is......I converted my buggy to a onroad weapon,It started life as a Mugen MBX5R buggy with all the cnc and carbon fibre fruit ,I than fabricated a new extended chassis for it so I could fit the new Kyosho GT2 Corvette body.I also fabricated the servo mounts ,motor mount,esc mount and made a custom front toe plate to fit the bumper ,the rear cvd was taken from a Hot Bodies D8T truggy and the front cvd is a standard rear MBX5 cvd.The wheels and tyres are just no brand onroads from the US,The esc is a Monster Mamba V3 and the motor is a Tekin R8 2650kv,It is set-up for 6s lipo with 2 3s 30c 5200mah in series, But have found that this is just way to much power for the wheels to deal with so I have now set it up for 4s (2s 35c 6500mah in series).Ran it today and was very pleased with the top speed and am still able to do controlled drifts with it.Hope to have a vid of it real soon ,just have to find some free time.
