My new conversion E-MBX5

[ogrfre01]

I am just in the making of another conversion. I got a MBX5-roller for a really nice price.
I just finished the batteryholder ( i was about to order one from Mike but it was out of stock) Then i tried to make one myself..... its not that bad really.
This is how far i´ve come so far:



Close up with handmade tray:






I am making a mount for the esc and bec soon.... then it is ready to race.....

Looks killer!

Mugen Rules! If I could get my MMM on my E-MBX5 this thing would be bullet proof.

nice job man looks real good, like it was from the factory like that

Thanks for the positive posts. This is the key (IMO) to get a clean Wiring-solution:




This is great to place the ESC and the BEC and very simple to make, i use: aluminium-plate and posts from the fueltank with some screws and washers..... it makes the wiring so much easier.

I just put up a short vid on "the tube"... the first testrun, no body..... E-MBX5 Video

I commend you on this nice conversion, my friend!

Looks very nice- what motor is hiding in there? In the shadows it looks a little Feigao-esque??

Nice job ...I just finished my conversion this week. My buggy weighed in at 9.2lbs....here's the link...http://www.rc-monster.com/forum/showthread.php?t=11763

I used a custom top plate made by Mike for the esc and also allowed me to still use the brakes.

I like that customplate, but i think it is about 10mm to short on the back end, i want space to place both ESC and BEC next to each other....

I am thinking of one of these in my E-MBX5 prospec:
-Neu 1512 2d/f (2600kv)
-Neu 1512 2.5d/f (2050kv)
-Mega Motor ACn22/35/1E (2550kv)

I will be running it with Polyquest 4S 5000mah PQ, Monster max.....
I am intrerested in Mega motor, but they are very exposed and "open". .... is there a fix to this? It would be nice with 6-poles Or is the Neu in a class of its own?

I am currently using Mamba Max, CC BEC, Feigao 8XL, Polyquest 4S 5000mah PQ
