Yeah, he also has a ls10 mount now. I have a brand new in box ls10 that needs converting. Coincidence?!....

I check the store every few days, can't wait till the 1/8 center diff with the integrated slipper is released!

I hope I find one in the 200 dollar range with shipping included. Then I can sell my Jato for like 150 as a roller. It will be almost RTR with some fixes. Sat around for a year, betcha that engine is shot.

I'm just getting confused. I'm being told the MBX is not so great but try a mugen or jammin. When I search ebay for a mugen the MBX5 comes up. Ahh I'm going to go crazy soon.

[jhautz]

Ofna MBX and Mugen MBX5 is not the same thing.

Ahh see now it makes sense. Thanks for being so helpfull and making my 1/8 buggy selection easier.

Well so I looked at the sportwerks turmoil pro and it looks interesting. It has a good price (NEW). Anyone have any experience with this? How is quality? I wonder how hard it would be to make it brushless. I'm guessing I'll have to fab a motor mount.

Otherwise I'll stick to Jammin, MBX5, or Hyper 7 sport TQ.

Another question, if Ofna is importing then I wonder if the makers are selling then on E-bau under a different name.

Turmoil is not a bad car to start with. It gets you into 8th scales at a good price. And you can then decide later to upgrade it, or sell it and go with a different buggy.

The reason the OFNA 9.5/MBX based buggies are so bad is that they have NO upgrade path. Weak shock towers, weak rear/front brace designs, cast steel differentials that strip out easy. They just can't take abuse, nor can they be cost effectively made to handle it. The handling sucks on them too.

The Sportwerks Turmoil is a good car. I have a Mayhem which is the predecessor of the Turmoil. It is one tough car. I did have to make my own motor mount for it though. I think there may be a RC-Monster motor mount in the works soon.

There is a nice looking MBX5 roller on ebay for 200 BIN but that turmoil looks like a bargin..

Seems like the only person selling the MBX5 rollers on ebay is some hobby shop guy. Most of them are used.
