Well, before I found out all I really needed was the RC Monster motor mount, I went ahead and ordered the tekno conversion. My order did not ship when it was supposed to, so I have been waiting since they day I posted the first pix in this thread for it to come heheh. It just came today :) Now Im thinking about just keeping the battery tray from it, and selling the kit and ordering 2 RCM mounts, 1 for each MBX5

Edit:

But Ive snagged the big bores from the mbx5 and threw em on the 5t

definitely order the mounts from RCM...well worth it. Both my Mugens use Mike's mounts. I have extra big bore shocks on my truggy as well..Xray ones I think. Makes a huge difference when bashing. The suspension is so smooth..nicest suspension of all my trucks

Oh man I totally agree with you. I thought the stock mugen shocks were nice, compared to my revos, but these Jammins are silky sweet goodness :)

Okay! This thing is just about done, I need to get a pinion, and some stiffer springs for these shocks heheh. I kind of prefer the other setup I had with the stock chassis, but this is pretty decent, it seems alot more rigid the the stock one. I will probably have to tear it down to put in some heavier diff fluids, but thats ok

This thing is heavy now, I was going to try out a 17t pinion, maybe 15 or 16 would be better.. I only have 4s and 6s to run with either a Castle 2200kv or T8 2250kv so I kinda shot myself in the foot there
