adrictan,

May I request information on the following:
1) Where did you source it and for how much?
2) Will the chassis accommodate 75mm long motors like the Neu-Castle 2200KV?
3) What are the inside dimensions of the battery trays?
4) Does it come with a body? If so is it clear or painted?
5) What is your power/drive train set-up?

Looking froward to hearing from you.
Thank you very much.

There's a couple of shops selling Caster and most are mentioned in the 1st thread. Join: http://casterracingusa.com/forum/index.php for more info. I had a Ezrun-80A-SD-13T combo with 2 x 5000mah 25c Yeah Racing lipos. My body came unpainted.

Here is a nice video I got of Rick Jenkins racing the Caster F8T in a Truggy A-main. He won by a lap on the field. First nice video I found of the F8T in action.

Just picked up this F8T. Only been run for a few minutes, and it has full CF upgrades, including upper chassis plates that haven't been released yet. Going to be putting in a Tekin system (1700kv truggy motor), Hitec titanium gear servo, 4s lipo, and the RCM Slipperential. More pics to follow once I get her up and running.

Closer to the MBX5. I actually am not familiar enough with the MBX6 to know how they compare, but the 6 is a new car so I assume there is a lot of changes from the 5 besides the narrow guards and body.
