my mugen mbx5t build

[CerberusVI]

Well we finally had a break in the weather so i set out on a early morning voyage before heading off to work. I was able to run a 5s pack through it before i had to leave the track. I learned my driving skills weren't quite up to par yet and ended up destroying my Ofna hd wing (which i hear is pretty common for that wing?)

This was my 1st time running the slipperential so i didn't know what to look for in slip. noises, etc. All appeared normal, but every now and then i swear i kept hearing something...

well lunch rolled around and i set out to the track again! This time with my 6s pack, still my driving skills weren't so good and i ended up cracking the front of my body from a few nose dives. I was still leery of the slipperential at this point, but continued to run it.

Well i got home and was still uneasy so i tore it apart and found all 4 of the spider gears had turned the 30k diff fluid into a metallic gray matter.. I was a little miffed at this point so i installed the stock center diff but it seems it likes to rain a lot here in the pacific northwest...

The weather has been really weird here in the pacific north west lately and with work i haven't had much time at all to take any of my Rc's out for spin

Before i get ahead of my self here, a while back i had bought some Proline Maxx mashers for my gf's emaxx and to use on my MGT, well when i converted my MGT over with a 1717 and 6s it started to eat 14mm hexes in the rims and i had already patched them up with JB welded hexes inside... So i got bored and decided i would boil them off and boil off the half bald truggy tires i had and mount the mashers up on my 17mm hex truggy rims! While i was at it i also ran a single 1" strip in the center of the tire to keep them from ballooning


Well while the gf was at work i decided to take my mugen back out sense the last time when I destroyed my Slipperential... I feel the stock diff with the same 30k oil felt better to drive all together. I got good traction with the mashers on there and on 6s i could get a little wheelie out of the truggy, I was only gonna run for a couple mins beacause i thought the 1512 would have a hard time with all that tire mass now.


I ended up running half the pack before i decide i should quit while i was head and i had started to get trigger happy while playing in the snow I also have not water proofed anything Don't mind the no wing lol, I have on on order.

I was so impressed with how this actually turned out! I really wanted to keep my truggy for strictly on the track...but after seeing what its capable of I'm very impressed and not sure what i want to do once i get a actual truggy motor for this thing!
