Hey RBMike, how do you like the 1512 3D motor? I am thinking of getting that motor with a 5S battery.

Thx

Kits from Mugen direct have Mugen wheels with M2 CrimeFighters.

Kits bought through HRP have ProLine wheels and BowTies.

The Mugen RCM kit right?


The bearing fits. It is tight but it fits. Work at it and make sure it is going in straight. You can also stick the bearing in a freezer and heat up the mount which will help it fit.

Hello everyone, hoping to get some input from all you that have converted the MBX6 to e.

Did you all use the RCDP kit or are there others that are better or worse?

I own a brand new in the box 8ight 2.0 and E conversion but I was considering selling it or trading a guy for his MBX6 and converting it.

Are there any tricks? I thought I read some place that with the E kit you have to get a Kyosho center diff is that true?

Should I keep the 2.0 or do the 6?

Any input would be appreciated thank yoU!

What a fail company. The car in ALL the pictures is an xray 808...

EDIT: hahaha, if you click the Xray808 conversion it says: Conversion kit for the D8 and on the pictures is a mbx6... Wow this company gives me a lot confidence...
Oh, and did I tell you the conversion is crap too? The diff has an offset to the right and they mount the batterytray in the right... If you want a bad COG, this is the way to go. I think thoses guys smoked too much pot when making the site/conversion.
