MBX-5 finish - 08.24.2008, 07:19 PM
Well I finished my second brushless project today! It a mbx-5 with a mamba max, madusa 36-60-2000, on 4s2p. My gearing is 11/46 a good bit short of where i want to be but i had temp problems with my first build so I thought I would start off small. The body will get so mods soon because the batteries don't fit well. The thing is going to be a rocket once i get the gearing figured out. NEED A BIGGER SERVO! I put in a 135oz. one just to get it down the road a ds 1015 should be on its way shorty.

I know I need pics. but moms got the camera!
I'll have them up tomorrow, hopefully.

Tell me what you think!

Tyler

Nice to see another Mugen mbx-5 here. I haven't seen too many. Here are a couple of pics of my second conversion. (Redid first attempt to clean it up )




I am running a 9xl right now...but my 1512 1YF just came back from repair so it will be going in shortly after I receive my front Neu motor cover from Mike.

What batteries are those they look BIG! And do you find that the metal on metal makes a TON of noise?

Looks like a protek from A-Main... I'd guess the 5s 4000mah 20c

Do those fit under the body OK? Or has it been modified?
