Mugen MBX5 Electric conversion

Post by Momo5 »

I know I'm a little behind the times, but I just finished converting my Mugen MBX-5 over to electric. I've had this Mugen for about 5 years. Its one of my RCs that I absolutley love and will probably never sell. I stopped running my nitro cars probably 3 years ago and sold most of them off. Slowly (verrrrry slowly), I bought pieces here and there and ended up with a RC Product Designs electric conversion, Hobbywing 80a ESC, Tacon 2150 motor, JR9100T servo and 4s 4500 battery.

I ran two packs through it over the weekend, and so far so good. I cant wait to run it on a track! Heres a quick video.

Man, that thing is fast! Turned out nice, love the paint. I know what you mean. I have an even older MBX4R. Thing is bullet proof.
