Mugen MBX5 Prospec Thread :)

[mikeburgin]

Just thought id start a pro spec thread for any usefull or useless info that ant one has, and start it with a few pics of my beast

[Hypedonrc]

Nice! Hopfully I'll be able to post some pics of mine after X-Mas.

[kyosho138]

how do you like that 421b? been thinking about picking one up

[SkyMaxx]

Because I'm a post whore and because I can, here's a clipping from one of my other posts about my MBX-5s.

I have two MBX-5s that are almost full PROSPEC via the hop-up method. One is powered by a RB S-7 Europa the other by an RB S-5. Both haul the mail and both fly well.





To see them flying, check these videos. Both require Quicktime to view. Short one is .MOV format the long one is .MP4 format.

Short one (1.2MB) with one jump. CLICK HERE

Long one (27.8MB) with several RCs jumping. The MBX-5 is at time index 1:47, 1:49, and 1:59 near the end. CLICK HERE

[crzy-svg-usr]

ok building has started but ended abruptly because i cant do anything lol, waiting for new orings for the diffs, i put the flywheel ont he engine lol

[mikeburgin]

nice guys

Skymaxx you realise that the wings are sposed to stay on the buggy after a jump and i do recomend a plane if you want anymore air than that lol nice work, was it still driving at the end

Kyosho i love the 421 but i only use it when its wet and gluggy, normally run RB WS-7 II for drier coditions, more top end and more controllable out of corners, the 421 is an absolute torque beast, goes through tyre real quick

CRZY SVG USR youll love that setup prospec and a rb, really doesnt get much sweeter except maybe a reall nice women the mornin after lol

Couldn't get a prospec when I went in to the shop so bought the stand. and all the parts to make it a ProSpec. Only had a day to buy and build and then drive to NC to race. This pic is from Nov. Man don't miss the Kanai no that I drive the Mugen.

[mikeburgin]

nice paint work on that body, hope its a posser body and you dont race with it ouch if you do yeah I was the same with my Kanai as well, thought there was no way a mugen could get better than it, but....... here we are mugen thread and all

[1meathead]

Nope it is a race body. A friend paints for me and the track.

[mikeburgin]

think he best start painting bodies for me to

[1meathead]

Drop him a line (Dan) he paints for people all over not just the US and the price is not to bad. See a 1/10 he did for a guy at the track go to http://www.ratraceway.com/sparx/pit1.jpg
Never hurts to ask what he can do a body for and I know it will look great every time he paints.
His email is sparx@ratraceway.com
