Default Race worthy brushless MBX5T with dual battery setup - FAST AND WINS!

This big bad mamba jamba doesn't fit in with the gazillion buggies on my track, plus they get kinda upset when I run them over Not sure which direction I'll go in, so no trades right now. I'll keep it if I can't get what I want for it. I worked on this conversion for 3 days straight, put about 16 hours into it.

This is a complete truggy, just add your running gear. I have all the nitro components too in case you want them. I also have all the parts I took off for the conversion such as the brakes. Sold as a rolling chassis with batteries. You'll need to add your steering servo, radio gear, motor, and ESC.

Specs:
BCE chassis
MBX6 series big bores all around
Pro Spec kit
DE skids
Two Neu Energy 2s 5000mah 25c/50c practice packs (always balanced)
Tekno lightweight motor mount with offset lower mounts
17T long shank hardened pinion (can use any truggy sized BL motor with this)
Inverted diff setup with brakes removed (I used motor brakes)
Tastefully cut down radio tray, keeps transponder mount and antenna mount
Chassis and all other metal components cut well with precision
Countersunk bolts holes for new conversion
AKA City Blocks on JConcepts Rulux wheels
Mugen practice body (rough)
ProLine SHIFT MBX6T body (good practice body)
Just filled the diffs with new fluid, 7K/30K/5K


This is a clean conversion, I took a lot of time for it to be perfect. The only part that is not is the front chassis brace that I had to cut down a little bit. It made the finish of the aluminum a little rough but that's mostly hidden. That's the only blemish and is not a big deal. The tires are around 75-80% and hook up great, they're just where they need to be to get traction and are now broken in. One wheel has a slight crack near the hex but it doesn't hinder performance.

I won the electric A Main with this truck down at my home town track in Texas. It's FAST. I was only on that track for a day or two and beat the local guys! This truck is currently nice and low with a very low center of gravity. If you want a competitive truck for a great price, this is your ticket. I took extremely good care of the truck and the battery packs.

$230 shipped FIRM

Bare Bones truck:

Rolling chassis
Big Bores
DE Racing skids
Pro Line SHIFT body
Stock body
no wheels or tires
no batts/lipos
dual RCM battery trays
Tekno RC lightened mount
17t long pinion
all extra parts
all nitro parts

$190 shipped

Again, the motor, speed control, servo, and radio gear are not included and not for sale

Are you kidding me? All this talk about smashing my Gorilla Revo and you put it up for sale?

It's ok to be scared I guess. I would be too.

Any monkey with a 2mm wrench could do the customizations I've performed.
Wow, Trevin. Not the best sales pitch I've heard.

TTT, last chance to get it before I take parts off for my next conversion and sell this as a bare bones truck. If someone is interested in the bare bones truck, PM me, I'll be selling it CHEAP.

Thanks Jon

I put it in the case today at Four Seasons. Hopefully it gets more attention there since everyone knows it's my truck. Someone called the store just a few minutes before I got there looking for a brushless truggy! Too bad I hadn't gotten there sooner.

I'd be happy to sell it for you for a LOOOW fee of 10% of the net sale. I think I am going to start offering consignment services. With my Ebay feedback things I list tend to get higher bids than others. LMK if you want some "help"
