Hey bro call off the search party, I'm back but with the same news you already know everwhere i went the price was just below $700.00 or just above after looking at that ride i can see why they want so much for it its one very well put together buggy, good luck on your search for a better price, might i suggest giving Nitrohouse a call there good people to deal with.

I thought about Nitrohouse
To see if they could cut me a deal
 
Here you go, pal. Stil at about 699.00. If you can swing a better price, great. I race with Rob, one of the customer service/sales guys. If it was OFNA he would cut you a deal.

Nice buggy. Let us know how it turns out!
 
Mine was 750 (before coupons and the like) @ Tower. I'm sure anywhere else will be a better deal. Just make sure you get an engine with a heck of a lot of low end grunt - the MBX5 just screams for torque.

So far the mbx is winning..LOL
I like the looks of it and the feed back on it is good.
Now the xb looks good also but From what I have read or not read not much feed back on the xb?

Ok I understand now lol...well id pick an xb8 anyday over a prospec even though it is a great buggy. I gaurantee the xb8 is an easier kit to build and fits together better than anything out there. So what I'm saying is go for the xray...you wont be disappointed. I love mine...
 
Just got off the phone with bruce...
My mugen will be here by the end of the week:thankyou:

TJ was there any thing on your build that gave you problems?? So I know what to expect..And did you have to buy any extras during the build that you thought necessary to add to it right then?
 
don't put the rear drive shafts through the uprights backwards. :opps: They don't want to spin very well if you do.

Its starting to look like a buggy LOL ill post pic's latter tonite..Camera batts are charging.
 
Odd. They have you build and install the end diffs before the center diff?

Looks nice. I always like seeing how well that brand is machined and the clean lines of the moldings.
