RE: :: Official MBX5/Prospec Thread !!
How many of you are upset over the MugenRacing.com Forum being down for so long? If so call them and let them know @ 949-707-5607. This is crazy and it is upsetting, especially for Newbies who need info and help! They build a great car, as far as there website, It stinks! You would think for the amount the charge for a car, they would have at least a half way descent website!

RE: :: Official MBX5/Prospec Thread !!
Mugen should know this already, but the forum is important for there product support and if we keep calling maybe they will get the ball rolling faster.
|
RE: :: Official MBX5/Prospec Thread !!
Im calling again mon. he said to call and he will fax me chads latest setup.
|
RE: :: Official MBX5/Prospec Thread !!
I hope that you will post the set-up...don't be stingy... give to the needy... not to the greedy. I need a better set up to eliminate some more of the oversteer.
|
RE: :: Official MBX5/Prospec Thread !!

RE: :: Official MBX5/Prospec Thread !!
I know this isn't the Classifieds but I have a Mini-T with a bunch of Hop-ups I would like to trade for some MBX5 parts or some 1/8 tires/wheels.
Email me for some pics. Thanks [email protected] |

RE: :: Official MBX5/Prospec Thread !!
Definite bling bling...I like those shock towers Ldet us know how that pipe runs. I HEARD that it cuts down on the "snap" and gives a smoother range...that was what I HEARD and that was on a Revo with the same type pipe.

RE: :: Official MBX5/Prospec Thread !!
ya a guy at extreme r/c told me it calmed his down also. and the P5 as you all know needs tamed down.
|
RE: :: Official MBX5/Prospec Thread !!
That Exhaust looks sick! Gotta give some feedback on it!

RE: :: Official MBX5/Prospec Thread !!

RE: :: Official MBX5/Prospec Thread !!
Granted, I may not need to bring a lot, but what would I need?
|
RE: :: Official MBX5/Prospec Thread !!
Definitely some shock shafts Front/Rear, Clutch Bearings, Clutch shoes, Lower Control arms Front and Rear, Tires and Rims, Screws, Clutch Springs and that's really it! Also if you can get and extra set of body mounts.

RE: :: Official MBX5/Prospec Thread !!

RE: :: Official MBX5/Prospec Thread !!
Have any of you tried the Cradock Brakes? These look interesting. I have good performance with the stock disks but I'm always looking for the next good thing.
