bodgemonkey Posted May 23, 2011 Share Posted May 23, 2011 Hi everyone, been looking at seling my lst2-e as a roller and using the electrics in a truggy. I've got my heart set on an mbx5t, as they are strong and light and handle great. However, would there be a better car to purchase? It will be converted to brushless. I've got around Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyllewellyn Posted May 23, 2011 Share Posted May 23, 2011 i have a converted hyper st pro it has a hpi tork 2200 motor 150 amp hobbyking esc savox steering servo hong nor big bores t-bone bumpers F/R i run it with turnigy 4s nano tech 5000mah 50c lipo's 18t pinion and a 48 spur spider diffs all round DX3.0 went to a bash in bristol yesterday with a load of baja's and various other nitro's the st blew them all away what an amazing truggy handles really well and can't half take a kicking(30mph kart wheels are shrugged off with ease) it just keeps going was looking into getting the caster k8 the leccy one as i have the caster fusion ex1.5 pro and that is an awesome buggy and i think its based on the mugen or is a clone do mugen do an electric buggy/truggy or will it have to be converted?? cheers andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bodgemonkey Posted May 23, 2011 Author Share Posted May 23, 2011 Cheers guys. Where would be the best place to order mugen parts from? eBay doesn't offer much! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris200 Posted May 23, 2011 Share Posted May 23, 2011 Cheers guys. Where would be the best place to order mugen parts from? eBay doesn't offer much! After seeing the punishment my mates mugen buggy takes I would be thinking you won't be needing many parts Alternatively try to find a lightning stadium pro , I have and will be going brushless on it as soon as the trophy flux is released Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mydoddy69 Posted May 23, 2011 Share Posted May 23, 2011 I heard Mugen pulled out of the uk so your best place would be direct or amainhobbies? as i've seen listing for parts there when i've been looking for other stuff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bodgemonkey Posted May 23, 2011 Author Share Posted May 23, 2011 I'm ideally looking for a direct trade with my lst2 brushless roller. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grumpygramps Posted May 23, 2011 Share Posted May 23, 2011 I loved my XRAY XT8 when I had it, and before that a Hyper ST Pro... The XRAY was a better truck all round IMO though, very strong, handled exceptionally well and is designed beautifully. The spring steel driveshafts can take a lot of power through them and abuse generally, so ideal for BL conversions. It seems to be a particular favourite of RC Monsters, which says a lot I think. Parts are easilly got hold of too, certainly easier and cheaper than Mugen, generally cheaper than HB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

badger906 Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 mugen didn't pull out the UK, their only UK distributed (models in motion) went bust. they will soon have a UK based website and a distributed. mugen dont break but if you do need parts contact Russ at future world models, he imports the parts direct from Germany. so its only a few days wait Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bodgemonkey Posted May 24, 2011 Author Share Posted May 24, 2011 FWM is a 40 minute drive from me and next to my nearest track Looking at possibly getting an mbx5r now, although my heart is definately set on a mugen 5 series of some sort!
