Ok, guys, the new steps:

I have decided to test an Hobbywing 2250 motor + I have bought 2 Turnigy 4S - 5000 Mah - 30/40C batteries in Hobbyking DE Warehouse + Castle Creations external 10A Bec + Micro Spektrum receiver.
Now it's a matter of cables order/installing :-) (sorry for my English!)


Important: if you want to use an Elite Rc motor mount on a MBX6 you MUST use Hot Bodies VE8 pinions or Losi ones...you need "short shank" pinions to have you central spur perfectly aligned with you pinion!!!

Hi guys I'd like that you could see my new steps to know which are your thoughts about the work-in-progress...just let me know please!!!:

I found the solution on how to use the Mamba Max on the rear side of the motor.
I realized an "elastic" platform made of carbon fiber + nitro fuel tubing put on the screws that fixes the platform to the chassis + the ESC will stay in place by using some elastics that are tensioned by 4 screws fixed on the carbon platform...just look at the last photos in my gallery:

Would like to know what are you thougths about my mods guys!!

The only thing I'm scared for is that the screws will pop out of the chasis when you land jumps. It wil jump slam back and hook up in the carpet if you drive on astroturf. I would use a foampadding between the esc and the plate.

Btw, didn't you order a tekno V4 kit? I tought I read that on rc monster. Mine arrived today and I have to say that it's very high quality stuff!

immarcescibile

I'll use some neoprene between the esc and the carbon platform ;-)

The V4 stuff will come on mid Genuary :-)

Do you like my solutions at all??

morgoth

It seems like you have a very lightweight buggy! Too bad of the carbon fiber mudsguards There are awesome but you can use them on the Tekno :-(

I really like that body! It's awesome

immarcescibile

Thanks mate!!

Yep I use the Hotbodies and/or Robinson Racing. Robinson last longer than HB but a tad more $$$.

this is the servo saver that clamps on to the servo and wont brake like the plastic ones. http://www.amainhobbies.com/product_...-Hard-Anodized

Your Conversion looks cool. Don't know if you really need alum servo saver and carbon fiber mud guards but they look cool.

Your car looks too clean. Get that sucker on the track and run the shiit out of it. All this focus on component placement pails in comparison to getting your car tuned and your skills up. So get out there have fun!

immarcescibile

Yeah Jason, thanks for suggestions :-) You also have to consider Novak pinions, I tried to reduce them in lenght using a lathe and I had the chanche to understand how though are them...really!

Only another one week mate and I'll bring it into the dirt to have some fun!!!

jasonwipf

Yes, I like Novak pinions durability but only use them when I used to run the RC monster mounts.

immarcescibile

I think I'll bring my Novak pinions to someone to get it shorten to fit the Elite Rc motor mount!!!

Hi guys, I'll take some pictures about my news on this week-end. Meanwhile just enjoy my latest "enlightments":

As you can notice the Mamba Max Pro esc will stay on the rearside of the motor (there's 1cm gap between the 2 components) an will lay on a carbon elastic platform system made by myself..

Meanwhile I have bought a "digital 5kg. kitchen scale" (really don't know if that is the right way to define it), then I have put my buggy on it and it's 3,049 Kg. without the tires and with 4000Mah Nanotech 40/90c batteries, or 3,149Kg. with heavier 5000Mah turnigy 30/40c batteries; is that a good weight??

Just post me you weights telling me which stuff are you actually using on board..

Hello hello !

Great job immarcescibile !!!

If you have an adress for your carbon side-guards, I'll take it with pleasure. My MBX-6 carbon chassis wait them for too long ......

Buona giornata from france !

Are those weights without body?
My Tekno V4 buggy weights 3161g with body and 4S 40C 5000mah turnigy lipo. This is without any light weight parts.

The V4 without body, lipo, wheels weights 2530g (with alumium rearhubs)

immarcescibile

You can find them on planetracing.it :-) please post me some photos of your carbon chassis!

@morgoth: on this evening I'll report you my weights with various parts installed ok??
