Solid Axle Rear End Kyosho MP5
figure id post this here since i havent yet but this is my Kyosho MP5 that i converted into a 2wd Short course/trophy truck, spent about 700$ on this thing has a Castle sidwinder 8th 2200kv system ran it on a 3s went pretty fast(around 25-30) need to gear it a bit lower, but tho this thing is fun with paddle tires in loose dirt barely can keep the front wheels down on the ground

I love these solid axle, independent front SCT Trophy trucks! This is one of those projects I've always wanted to tackle but have never had the time to. Nice conversion! I actually like how it looks in the video better than as a SCT. I think it would be perfect if you added a wooden stake bed to the body in the video making your own nasty fast farm truck! Lol

Great looking truck Mastertaco. Someday I would like to do what you RC modifiers do when I retire. I've been seeing a little more of these Trophy Trucks being built/modded and some from manufacturers. For the past week or so I've been wondering if this will be the next class/platform to take off.
