a OCM is very different to a MBX5 certainly the evo version
in fact, only the lower front arms look alike..
as do all existing and to come ball suspension fronts by design..
you can mount the upper arms, but then the geometry is all different
and than the ocm isn't driving as good anymore..
Also the toeplate system is more like xray cars
many rods and the diff outdrives are much bigger, so you can't mount the mugen ones
and there is the toeplates with inserts that makes it , the most tunable buggy ever
it is really a buggy on it's own, well designed and surely a beautiful one..
pity the designers were not as good salesmen
Personnally I think the OCM is nicer and in fact as good as the mugen.....

Copy of mbx 5 with some cosmetic changes.Just like castor buggy you can put a lot of mbx 5 parts on that buggy.

There is a lot of stuff that is changeable between the major brands so with your brilliant logic it means that all (Xray, LOSI, Kyosho, Mugen, put what ever brand here) is a copy of something else with cosmetic changes. So can you define which then is the "original" buggy

The caster buggy has some of the same differences except the bulkheads do fit and diffs can be used but are different ratio's and the Caster is ALOT lighter than the MBX5R
havent seent hem around in a long time ...

Your wrong. the only thing that really fits is the upper and lower arms and ackerman plate. The bulkheads are entirely different and the mounting holes for the bulkhead to the chassis are ALOT farther apart therefor you cannot even use Mugen ones at all. The complete radio tray, center diff mount brake linkages, shock geometery, the complete hingepin capturing system is different. You cannot interchange differential gears, none of that, a TON of stuff is different. Just because it is pillow ball does not mean it is a copy of the Mugen.

I actually have had all 3 at the same time and tried swapping parts with my own hands is why I said what I did. So besides the looks which everyone goes by I KNOW what will fit and what will not. So say what you want. Go to the X-ray thread and call them all "Losi 808" Drivers and while your at it go to the Odonnels thread and call them "Kyosho Z01-B" drivers too.
