Buggy newbie question

[StrechM]

Can anyone explain to me in short the differences between an MBX-4 and an MBX-4XR. The lhs's do not have them in stock and they are Storm owners.

Basically some bling-bling purple anodized parts. Chassis is a little different. The engine is mounted more towards the front of the body. The wings are a little different. Different gearing with pinions. There were a couple of other little things but I can't remember them right now. You can replace most of the parts from a basic X4 with the XR parts.

Thank you.

I've been considering building another truggy only this time out of a buggy and JT seems to make a nice conversion kit. Mugen seems to rock so to speak. Why do you ask?

just was gonna mention the mbx5 (being newer and updated).. but for truggy stuff i dont know if there is anything the the mbx5

I saw the pics of the MBX5 but I'm not sure how extensive the changes are with the new design. I'm pretty green when it comes to buggys. I started to build a Storm Pro a couple of months back and then chaged my mind.

The X5 and MBX4 are totally different buggies and only share a few parts. As of now there are no conversion kits for the X5.

Thanks FRB. I did stop by the lhs last night and touch the new Storm Unlimited. Appears to be a rtr Storm with a few minor mods. Very reasonably priced. I'm tempted to buy one and swap the engine with one of my .26's. The tech was saying that it is going to have the same shock tower issue as it's little brother.
