Building an MBX5r
 

gonna break down and finally build a comp buggy, i need help filling out the missing pieces, like which battery pack to get for the servos, etc...

thinking of these specs:

Mugen MBX5R
Werks B7 .21 Engine - The track is a fairly small techincal track, just 1 straight about 10 or 12 yards long.
JR9000T and JR9000S Servos
OFNA JP-3 - Not sure about this one, input appreciated.

what else do u guys recommend? im using an M11 Spektrum as my radio/receiver.

Seems fine, not sure about the pipe though...as for the battery, needs to be a very high mAh to power those servos. I assume you're going to race? If you plan on taking part in races that will last more than 45mins or so, you'll need an RX pack with 2000mAh or more.

Good combo of gear, but because of your track description I would recommend a different pipe. I would go with a OFNA JP-2 (the JP-3 is a great pipe but if it is a short tight track you will never see it's full potential). Now if you are going to race on different tracks, the JP-3 would be a good all-around pipe to use on different track sizes, but if you are going to only race on your local track you can save $30 and just get the JP-2.
