I'm currently finishing my Mugen MBX6 ECO SC truck conversion.
I think will call it the
Mugen Seiki MBSC6 ECO
Thanks to this threat I was able to do a conversion of an AE RC8e into a Short course truck (what should have been the SC10 4x4 IMHO
)
SC10 4x4 conversion

Here's a sneak peek:
I will post some detailed pictures lateron.
weight
The weight
without body and Lipo but
with motor, ESC and wheels is currently 3100 grams (or 6 lb and 13.34 oz for you guys
)
cost
Check out the links and use your calculator. It's a little over 40 dollars extra.
