Erm, no guarantee about the rotors - I'd have a slipperential as added piece of mind - it allowed me to calm down (and not be so on edge worrying that this corner would be the last...) - so I got my best result ever - 4th in A Final after 20 minutes and only ~20s behind 1st place. I'd recommend it for UK tracks if using the T8 motor. If your local track is closer to a US track, then you have less to worry about.

The Zippy will be fine for testing - when you've got some good run time figures from that, then you know what capacity you'd need to get different run times. E.G: If the 5000mAh 5S pack nets you 25 minutes on the track (very different from bashing - I got about 1.8x the run time when bashing), then to do 15 minutes you'd only need a pack with 60% of the capacity - so a 3000mAh pack.

For buggy yes that may be pretty heavy.

I was forced to be creative last weekend on a very looming track running my new mbx6t with a castle 2200 motor that was getting terrible milage during my practice runs and my math was telling me I was not going to make a 15 min race with my 5000k 4s set up. So, I paralleled 2x 3700 4s packs together for a whooping 7400mah. This thing was huge and heavy. I thought it would really slow me down and it did feel a bit more brick like on the track but with only 1 crash for 15min main I beat out several team drivers and pulled a 1st place win. The Truggies are just more weight forgiving.

Truggies are definately easier to set up with a brushless conversion - more space for all the bits allows you to mount stuff exactly where you want. The truggy also takes the weight better.

Was looking at the MBX6 chassis last night with the 5S lipo sat ontop and thought... I wonder if it'll be possible to do away with the side guards and either get a narrow body from a D8e to fit or make a narrow Mugen one... hmmmm

I wouldnt mind a bash at making a body anyone had any experience of making a plug?


Hmm looking again on monster the side guard needs to be on the battey side not enough room...

It probably will, but will need some filing/modification.
