Off topic...are you running a 2s li-po to power the whole car? if it is it isn't enough...the buggy weighs 6-8 lbs. A better set up would be running a 4s w/that motor for much better power and efficiency

I have a mbx-5 that I ran on 5s with a 1900kv motor and it was perfect. I have since converted it over to a road car and still run it on 5s


1. MBX-6 T8 1900KV, RX8 ON 4S
2. MBX-5T 1520, MMM ON 5S
3. MBX-5 ONROAD CONVERSION 1515, MMM ON 5S
4. MRX-3 ON ROAD CONVERSION 1512, MMM ON 6S
5. TEN T 2650 T8, MMP ON 3S

i agree with you i was planning on getting a 3s lipo or a 4s lipo. Hard to find a good cheap lipo if you know i mean. was looking to spend around 100$ on a lipo. was thinking of getting this:

i know the towerpro is a good servo cuz i ran it before when i had it set up to run x2 2s lipos. It seemed fine.

So that Spektrum Voltage Protector will give me the power i need to run a 2s for now intil i can afford a 3s or 4s lipo?
