Converted Mugen MBX5T

[brainanator]

Just mostly finished up my conversion. Got this used as a roller from Krawlin with a buncha parts for a good deal as he is getting out of RC.

I tore the thing all the way down and cleaned off every piece with soap/water or WD40 depending on the material. It came with the tekno battery tray so I stuck that on there. Ordered me an RCM motor mount with servo top plate (had enough stock servo plates to just cut one up but the rcm one was only an extra $5!).
I'm using a NEU 1515 2Y motor (1100Kv). I'll be using both 4S and 6S.

I didn't do a great job mounting the battery tray. drilled the holes in the spots I wanted no problem, and then I dremeled down some material from below the tray to let the nuts holding the rock guards go in a little to get the battery lower. I added washers under the tray to keep it about level all around since the rock guards are higher than the chassis. Where I miffed was the countersinking on the holes on the chassis. I thought I had the right bit, but didn't, so I punched through on one, and ended up using a larger drill bit on the 2nd to countersink. They both don't sit totally flush. I'll probably go back and fix them up later with the right bit.

All that I need is a traxxas radio box I ordered to mount on top of the servo and I'll be calling it done :D

On to the pics!
