Nice art. Time to get banned. LOL

On another note See that laydown steering and now you can attack it with a side swipe. That is why I don't really like the the MBX5. It's not a quality thing. It's a racers look at the strength and weaknesses.

Well the last time Sherak shared his art we all got banned.

That is the problem I have with the hackers on my track. They can't win fair so they storm up the inside on the right handers.

grahama, what the heck are you talking about, time to get banned, and the laydown servo is a bad thing, i hope you arent over 9 years of age, that would be horrible

as wfar as what i have spent, i really dont know, but with all the little things i bought for it and the pit bag, etc, i spent right at 4000 for everything, thats all the money i had saved up over a long time and i remember having to give my mom about 130, so the total would be about 4130

blah...

to much orange for me:P

nice buggy tho

tpeep

skydalimit, how the the II hook up in the MBX5 and what pipe is that? We need some vids! Awesome paint job to go with the engine!!!!

sh0wtime

dunno how a sideswipe could damage that steering servo?
to push the side of the buggy in that far would require a massive impact, the kind that would disable any buggy
i've been running an MBX5 now for 4 months & nobodys driven ito my steering servolol

Da Smak

It's possiblbe if you can land on it. It is better than the PCR idea anyway.

dude, it would be alot easier to "land" on the steering servo if it was strait up and down, there is nothing wrong with a laydown servo you goon, stop talking about stuff you dont know about, its pretty much impossible to land on the steering servo without something else hitting first

the WS7-2 hooks up great, i run on a really tight track with some pretty big air, acceleration isnt a problem, it has acceleration like a p5 and some topend that will fair well against a c5, im running a RB 086 pipe with a waller power adapter

skydalimit, that's a pretty nice ride. You have to take graham with a bit of salt. He speaks his mind freely -- no reason to get upset.

I've never seen or heard of anyone running up on someone in a right hand turn and taking out their steering servo, but maybe I just don't race with these "hackers" he was talking about. I think those people have never raced with a guy like adam. Try that **** once, get your ass beat -- lesson learned.

I've seen pics of graham buggy. He does have his steering servo inverted so the arm is on the inside of the radio tray. Maybe it happens in certain circles. *shrug*

Nice looking ride though. We budget racers all drule in envy.

i can only afford such a grand buggy because thats simply what i spend all my money on, is rc, so all the money i get is either for the mbx5 or my newest adition, my drake

i think grahm actually has his inverted because it gives a better center of gravity, not much but it helps, suposedly, when you drive like a pro then you really wont ever hit the servos, expecially with a freaking body protecting them

sh0wtime

grahama just loves anything OFNA
he'll get over it, maybe its just a phase he's going through
if the 8 port engines were as good as he says they are all the Non sponsored drivers at the races would be using them!
but if you walk around the pits or have a watch from the trackside you pretty much only see Orange & some purple heads on P5's

Nice buggie skydalimit!

That is what I want to build right now, an mbx-5 with an rb ws7II. Where did you buy the kit and the engine from? I'm trying to find the cheapest places right now. Are those servos digital? How do you like them? I want to get the hitec 5645 and 5625 digital servos I think. Have you heard anything about the rd, not rb, pipes? They are only $50 for a one piece as opposed to the $110 for the rb 086 pipe.

Sorry for asking so many questions, I just want to get some input from somebody who has the car that I want to build. Thanks

maxmod

hey has anyone here used racersedge parts on either there mbx-5 our kanias i would like to now if they are good quaility and are as good as fironi.

Sherak

Hey lets trade sarcasm for insults, sounds like a healthy way to keep adolescents off the street and who was it who said Americans dont get..... oh forget it[&o]
