Looking to convert an MBX5T

[el tomaso]

What about a xerun 150A esc/4274SL 2000kv combo, it may be cheaper and thats a good motor and esc. I have the motor, and had the esc. I think its comparable to castle/neu 2200kv, but at 2000kv its better for 6s lipo.

As for the conversion I'd go for the RCM motormount and the RCM MBX6T batt tray. Simple and functional. Mech brakes is nice and I was very set on it for my cars, but now I like motorbrakes too. Try them first. But mech brakes can be added to the front easily, with the motor in the rear.

I do like the Hobbywing stuff, and might grab the 150a esc one day.
I am looking for a lower KV motor, about 1600kv at the most.

I am thinking also the motor mount for the Caster truggy, I assume they would fit but might be abit more limited on gearing and motor size.

Does the MBX6T battery tray fit on the MBX5T?
The main reason I was thinking of getting a different battery tray is to be cheaper.
I understand why these ones cost $35, but its not worth it to me.

I thought about just leaving it with motor brakes but the main reason I want mechanical ones is to be easier on the esc, I figure if I give it an easy life, it will have a long life, especially on 6s.

On another note, does anyone know if the 1717 castle/neu motor will fit or if these mugens can handle that kind of power?
The other one I am thinking of is the Leopard 4082 1250kv (not sure if this is a bit too low a kv though).
