gonna have to wait to spring for that answer...im still racing my 777 indoors...the side gurds have some flex so im guessing they should hold up pretty well

i was going to say you mugen looked to shinny. I guess i want ask what you think of those blue brake pads then. I just hated them from the start. they seemed real inconsistent and seemed to fade about 6 minutes into a race. Love my craddocks i have now.

i dont have any probs with brake fade

I run an airtronics 94758 on the throttle, and a 94358 on the steering.

Moto............what buggy is this and what chassis is this? it's not stock is it?

i'll answer it 'cause i know.

its a mugen mbx5 Prospec (or it atleast has several prospec parts on it)

the chassis is an after market one from k-factory

and the side guards are after market ones that mugen distribute.

carolinaRC sells both of them

I'm also willing to trade my old hyper 7 for it (or even just for the chassis and guards)

but you gottta admit its very cool isnt it[8D]

(just in case you missed my edit)

I have to say that i'm not that intrested in creating a shelf queen, but there is just something about those side guards that i just want.

tell me they shave a second of your lap times and then i'll have a reason to get some. (you can lie to me if you want)

sorry i done graduated the hyper7 category a few years ago .....id never give that car up .....out of the three the jammin the 777sp1 and the prospec the prospec is the easiest to drive atleast indoors it is...the jammin works well but i havent driven it much yet...i grazed a wall with the jamin and broke a rear upright last week in my opinion way to easily so i used a set of 777 uprights as an upgrade they work perfectly my guess is the jammin is gonna haul ass outdoors it jumps and turns very nice....the 777sp1 is typically a back up car for the mugen its just slightly harder to drive

hows this.... physcologicaly a better lookin car can give you more confindence in the car leaving you with more time to worry about driving...im sure and ive been told that the side guards are just as strong as the stocks...the flex quite a bit so side impact should not be a problem....however i dont get hit in the sides alot i race with some of the best drivers in my area and the drive very clean...

the side guards are lighter than stock

oh and make no mistake about it that car is not a shelf queen...it just finished a 6 week series and just got re built and ive decided to wait for the outdoor season to race it again...but i will run it and i will ugly it up on its belly

Damn it i've just added them to my list of parts i'm about to get from carolina.

i'm sure its not. I only ment that i'll go buy tires and fuel before i'ld buy parts just for looks (i don't think that $75 for those side guards is money well spent if you just want to go fast) but i currently have 10 sets of tires and 20 litres of fuel and i just increased the limit on my credit card.

The chasis on other hands i do see some possible advatages in it. under the right conditions. (i am assuming it is a lot stiffer then stock and its apparently 35 grams lighter)

lighter=faster in most cases.........i bought that chassis cuz my stock one was worn to a knifed edge at the rear and the screws were no longer counter sunk so it was time to replace it.....i did choose that paticular chassis cuz of its looks......

My X1-CRT:
Hitec 5955TG on steering
Futaba 9451 on throttle/brake

Kanai 2:
Ko Propo 2343 on both steering and throttle

Serpent 960r:
Ko Propo 2343 on both steering and throttle

Clodbuster:
Futaba 3004(x2) on steering - just threw what I had in the pit box on it

Glad to see we got back onto the servo subject.
