My first truggy :)

[nuz69]

You can find on Ebay a complete MBX6 center diff, which fit perfectly in the 5.
It's lighter and the teeth shape on the spur is different. I tried it yesterday and I can ajust the mesh very tight without any noise
It's true that the mbx5 spur make some noise, so I think it's a good solution to get the lighter mbx6 diff.
I am almost sure that the rear and front diff spur and bevel are the same between the mbx5T and the mbx6T, to be confirmed by other...

Hey thanks for letting me know :)

Nothing grinds my gears like a noisey drivetrain

Well, I got my truggy all fixed up :) I also scooped an HS-7955TG servo for it, but I need to go to the shop and grab a screw and horn for it, dammit. Once I get that tho, I will have 2 working trucks :)

Sorry for the picture spam

What type of run times are you getting with the mbx5t's? I have the tekno setup with MMM 2200kv and i'm looking at upgrading my 2-2s batteries to something that will get me more than 11 minutes with 12/46 gearing.

I use 16/46, and get about 15-20 mins with my lvc set at 3.5v usieng my smc 2s 5200 40c packs. Thats just ripping around on the front street. With my baby smc 3s 3400 18c I get about 10 mins heheh. Ive never been to a track tho, so I cant say how long they would last on one..

Well, I snuck some parts off of my buggys, and because this truck is so light, I put the Tekin motor back in, and the Castle back in my heavy Revo. I also managed to scoop an aluminum center diff mount, its pretty slick, I like it :) The fluids are a bit thick at 10,7,20. Its a bit of a handful with 6s @18/46

I bet it is quite a handful on 6s. Mine on 5s w/the 1520 screws right along. Yours looks good

Thank you sir. I figured I would strip al of the goodies off of my buggys until Im actually ready to use them. Over all Im very satisfied with this truck. I would like to get better shocks tho... I have 2 sets of bigbores but I cant really use them because the springs are too soft, wich is a real shame. I have ofna big bores, what springs do you use on your truck? Do you think they would work with what Ive got?

[magman]

The shocks I have are I believe the Ofna big bores with gray springs if that helps. There were already on the truck when I bought it and they are silky smooth

Well, winter is just about here, and I thought I should try out the stock chassis at least once before the snow flys :) I havent driven it yet, but tommorow when I get home from work Im going to take it for a rip! Ive read that people like it better then the tekno, so why not try it out for myself?









It also needs some zip ties :)

[magman]

looks ready to rip
