Elite RC E-MBX6T Conversion Mugen Seiki
 

Here is my latest project, E-MBX6T as you can see from the pictures, it is pretty balanced like my E-MP9.

Like the E-MP9 I have flipped the diff for a front motor setup, and I also centered the driveline. You will notice that I squeezed everything towards the center for the best balance possible, now there's no uneven weights on the outside like most electric setups.

The stock servo tray has the servos standing up(a Mugen first) but for this setup I laid it back down for a cleaner setup.

As you can see the profile is still pretty darn low..

Here is my electonics pod, you can"t get any cleaner than this. It is held onto the chassis by 3 screws for super easy maintenence.

Here is a view of the bottom chassis, as you can see I've machined a new slot for the spur and shifted the center diff about 5mm to achieve the center driveline.

You maybe wondering what kind of battery box that is well it was from the HPI Savage Flux, the original box was 3inches longer to accomodate 8 sub-c cells, which is ridiculously long for any setup, so I had a buddy of mine(Thanks Eddie) cut 3inches of the middle section and I glued the 2 halves back, so now it fits a typical 2S lipo pack.

nice mbx6 tell us how it performs cuz i have yet to see an e-mbx6

Nice work Brandon, Did you get it on the corner scales yet? My 6T is pretty well balanced with my "standard" Mugen conversion but yours does look cleaner. Get that thing on the track, you will love it. I'm digging mine for sure.

That is BEAUTIFUL. I have not done a conversion because of the unbalanced setups but I like the way you did yours and this is the route I will go.

What kind of battery holders are those? that's nice

Very nice, I like the battery box idea. I may have to try that out on my Caster Fusion.

Thanks for the compliments guys :D
Mike, when I'm finish I might need your help to weigh it on your four corner scale..yeah I can't wait to drive it..

Get-er-done & give me a call.

Great work!

I like how you can adjust the gear mesh from the screw at the top :nod:

Thanks for the compliment Tony, you have great products yourself ;)

any plans on making a mbx-6 buggy conversion? Or just selling your motor mount. I am wanting to convery my 6 to ele right now. just looking for quality parts to do so.

Very sweet motor mount! I have been running an EMBX6 for 6 months with "pieces parts" . I have had very good luck with the Mugen so far.

Thank you for all the kind compliments, I am coming out with my motor mounts for various brands, when? I'm not sure, hopefully soon. There have been a great demand for my motor mount so I will try my best to have them produced very soon, just keep checking my website for updates..

Here's a small update, my TRX series plug :nod:

come out with a mugen mount 1st and have it very soon. I need one bad as im ready to start building mine now. Im planning on useing the losi battery tray/ esc mount so a normal mounting position mount would be great ;)

I'm trying my best to have them out soon, I will update in the forums & my webpage once production rolls..

What about the MP9 motor mount and battery trays will you have those out very soon too?
