the cups looks great but arent really needed when the motor is spinning at WOT and the shafts r turing the alumium cups get real heavy real quick, unless ur run thick thick oil i wouldnt it but thats just me, i would like to get one tho for my center diff since i use 15K in ths center and that might put stress on the plastic diff cup but in 6 months the diff cups still look the same

Here are some pics of the new build. This is as far as I got so far. Looking to pick up some servos next.

its crazy no matter how clean u get ur used car it never looks as nice as the brand new thing, that thing looks great i wish i would have built mine from scratch but i got mine second hand rolling chassis

also from what i was tolled i should have all my needed parts tomorrow, ill post pics of the CF shock towers i honestly was hyped about the towers bein carbon fiber i was more intersted in the fact of the extra posting holes there is a second set of holes i wonder if the second set is lower OR higher than stock ill find out tomorrow hopefully check out out this pic of a silver carbon fiber tower





PS has anyone dropped big bore shocks on there mugen??? any comment on that just wondering i found these and thought they where intesting, ive bein looknig at the kyosho ST-RR shocks but the price tag isnt so nice right now

there are strong debates between big bores and stock shocks...buying after market shocks for a mugen is like mind boggling considering the Mugen shocks are like one of the best you can find hands down, i say setup and tire selection plays more of a roll on performance than big bores. save your money and buy some fuel and tires and drive your mugen till the wheels fall off.

LOL, thats the best statement I've read in this thread in about 10 pages!

MiamizFinest

thats exactly how ive always felt plus i agree 100 the mugen shocks are prolly the best one's on the market, ive very very happy with my mugen the way it is i was jsut wondering if anyone had tryed the big bores

I couldn't agree more. Just put fuel and go. The damn truck is so much fun. I find the one thing about this hobby is there are a lot of after market parts for almost everything. Everyone wants to sell something because they know there will always be someone out there to buy it. They will sell you on how durable the product is, or how much faster it will make you. I say, if you're going to race see how fast you can go around a track. Measure yourself to a pro with out the "upgrades" your looking to buy. If you can match his time, then you might consider yourself a very good driver and maybe that part may put you over the edge. But, you have to see how far that edge is before you can jump. Why would you need to spend endless amount of money on somethings the "MIGHT" make you better or faster. Unless you're like me and just want the piece because it's there. [sm=lol.gif]

I have not personally tried them but there are alot of reviews of them on truggyracers.com look in the kmw forum. People speak very highly of them.

Has anyone here tried the M2C "floating suspension" toeblock/hingepin set yet?? Really looks and sounds awesome to me... just curious if anyone has tried it??

Looking to pick up some servos for the new build. Anyone know the minimum torque and speed for steering and throttle/brake? I'd like to have a better idea of what servos to look at. Thanks

JSRacer

I use a JR 9000T for steering and a JR 650 for T/B. They work great. I'll eventually go with a digital T/B servo though, instead of the analog 650.

Tweedybird

Running JR 8717 for steering and Z9000S for throttle/brake in my st-rr, gonna run the same setup in the 5T

http://prolineracing.com/proline.html

HAVE ANYONE TRIED ALSO 15T IT WORKS AWESOMES SPEEDS...

LETS KEEP FORUM INFORMATIVE..

wrenchtilldawn

Thanks for the info. I am leaning towards a pair of 9000s. Trying to get something that will hopefully last me a while.

CRUZRC

MBX5t servos used:

Servos T/B - Pick the Hitec HS650MG ....its cheaper than JR z650 and about the same speed and torque
Servo Ster. - Pick the JR Z9100T - very good...

GNX5T

Well, here it is. I finally got my new chassis. I don't know how it runs, and won't know until all this damn snow goes away and gets a lot warmer. But damn, it looks good again. I wish it would always stay this clean.

CRUZRC

IS THIS AN EXTENDED CHASSIS FOR MBX5T ?? NICE...look..

GNX5T

Ya it's an extended chassis. I believe it's 5mm longer. Can't wait till the snow melts so I get out there and try'er out.

revo7617

HI guys... Some drivers included myseelf, are having hard time with the servo saver (on a MBX5T and MBX5-R) there are some stripped servos and does anyone know if there is a upgrade from another brand?? like a Fioroni saver for the 5T... (I already have a Prospec and a fioroni saver, NEVER have problems)

Tweedybird

good to know I haven't even opened the box yet
Will have to try this Fioroni Servo saver.

I am new to this site, I will be picking up new mbx5t kit today any advice on building my first kit , and do you think the jammin .28 will be to much for it

slrguy

I strongly suggest all you racer types visit truggyracers.com for the absolute best information you can obtain on the MBX5T about what works best from parts to setups. This is THE best place to go for up to date information on what works best no matter what truggy you own. Most of the top racers from around the world hang out there. This forum here is fine for amateurs but if you want to get to the winner's circle then truggyracers.com is where you need to be. Various 3rd party manufacturers have their own forum there. You can communicate directly with them about their products. Some also have their products available at amainhobbies.com.

Truggyracers.com is one site you don't want to miss if you're serious about racing.

Mr.Slave

is the prospec any more durable then the regular?
