I couldn't agree more. Just put fuel and go. The damn truck is so much fun. I find the one thing about this hobby is there are a lot of after market parts for almost everything. Everyone wants to sell something because they know there will always be someone out there to buy it. They will sell you on how durable the product is, or how much faster it will make you. I say, if you're going to race see how fast you can go around a track. Measure yourself to a pro with out the "upgrades" your looking to buy. If you can match his time, then you might consider yourself a very good driver and maybe that part may put you over the edge. But, you have to see how far that edge is before you can jump. Why would you need to spend endless amount of money on somethings the "MIGHT" make you better or faster. Unless you're like me and just want the piece because it's there.

Looking to pick up some servos for the new build. Anyone know the minimum torque and speed for steering and throttle/brake? I'd like to have a better idea of what servos to look at. Thanks

I use a JR 9000T for steering and a JR 650 for T/B. They work great. I'll eventually go with a digital T/B servo though, instead of the analog 650.

Thanks for the info. I am leaning towards a pair of 9000s. Trying to get something that will hopefully last me a while.

MBX5t servos used:

Servos T/B - Pick the Hitec HS650MG ....its cheaper than JR z650 and about the same speed and torque
Servo Ster. - Pick the JR Z9100T - very good...

Well, here it is. I finally got my new chassis. I don't know how it runs, and won't know until all this damn snow goes away and gets a lot warmer. But damn, it looks good again. I wish it would always stay this clean.

HI guys... Some drivers included myseelf, are having hard time with the servo saver (on a MBX5T and MBX5-R) there are some stripped servos and does anyone know if there is a upgrade from another brand?? like a Fioroni saver for the 5T... (I already have a Prospec and a fioroni saver, NEVER have problems)
