10 HOURS at the track, broken chassis brace, blown 2 diffs, broke the fuel tank, broke the fiber brakes.
Im done.!
There was about 5LB of baked sand on it.
And I have no idea how I broke this.

One other thing, If I were you, I'd clean the engine a little more before dismantling it, I can still see sand around the place. Just my thoughts

+1 if you get sand by the piston and sleeve and start it up your going to scratch you sleeve and piston and you could say bye bye to your compression. and its not very good for te engine.

Here is my project Mugen MBX5T. Everything I got for the build including the truck itself came from ebay. So, I decided to dedicate the body to the online auction giant

Lol Dont worry about the engine, washed it out with Nitro, all clean, shiney and new
This thing didnt get off the track for like 3 hours, so didnt really get a chance to check out if something broke or not.
Im gonna have to power hose it down, the mud baked on and with the oil from the exhaust, even an aircompresser had a hard time blowing everything off.
Now need to check if I actually blew the diffs, there was NO power going to the front wheels at all in the end, and my center diff was/is leaking like mad.
And I need new brakes, AGAIN.!

Hey Lvidal,
New math: (Spur/cb)*(ring/pinion)=ratio
Lightning Buggy: (46/13)*(43/13)= 11.70
Lightning ST: (50/13)*(43/10)= 16.54
Youd need a clutch bell with 9.178 teeth I would just check and see if the difs are interchangeable form the Truggy to the Buggy.

Very Nice TB, Damn you got some good stuff[sm=punching.gif]. What a choice: ST-RR with OS 28XZ, or MBX5T with RB C6. Good work mate

well they are a little large, but hey I don't race...maximizer truggy beadlocks with dirtbonz tires. They have a wider offset than stock and the tires are almost the same width as the rtr tires. Notice the nubzs int the right rear of the picture...only @ 3/4 the size.
Sweet pics of the cen!! Can we say indo?
