Default RE: Offical Mugen MBX5T thread


ORIGINAL: IROC-AR15

Okay...I'm getting a MBX5T Prospec and was wondering how should I set it up how durable it is and if there are any aluminum a arm upgrades for it!
Also what bodies fit it and the size of the wheels hexes....
I got a sweett deal on a roller for $150

5T's are tough to say the least, There's For sure Multiple item's that will make the truck even more durable in the end.

For starter's You Do Not want aluminum arms, They are overly heavy and will transfer any force that would normally break a Stock arm Right to your pivot blocks which Stock are plastic and in desperate need of upgrading. http://kingheadz.com/ should have every part you could want for this machine.

Wheels and tires you are looking at anything 3.7 which are the taller truggy tire Vs the Older MT style Monster truck tires with fat side walls. 17mm for the hex and the 5T's run a Zero Offset wheel ( Hex mounts Flush to the face of the wheel )

Proline or AKA would be choices. here's a variety
