Can anyone identify the Mugen buggy plz?

[Greywolf74]

I inherited a Mugen buggy which I thought was a MBX4 because a couple of the spare parts that I got with it said either MBX4 or MBX xr/rr but after looking it over real good idiscovered that the front drive shaft is bent. Since MBX4 parts are really atainable at my LHS I went looking on ebay and found the replacement part however, its not the same as the one in my Mugen buggy.

MBX4 part

MBX5 part

My front drive shaft looks like the MBX5 shaft so you can see where my confusion sets in.

Here are some more pictures to see if anyone can ID this Mugen buggy for me.

I have no idea if this will help and I dont know if this is even the stock controller but I'm adding some pictures of the controller that I got with the buggy.

Thanks in advance

Yeah I've been to Mugen website already and while they have alot of nice pictures available to look at for the MBX5 but they barely have any pictures of the MBX4 and no pictures of the MBX4RR or the MBX4XR. Long story short I wasn't able to really glean an information from there. Anyone else wanna take a stab at it?

Its not an MBX4 or an MBX4RR that much I've been able to determine. The MBX4RR Uses the same front drive shaft as the MBX4 which is not the correct drive shaft because mine looks like the one used for the MBX5. At this point I have managed to discover the MBX4XR appears to use that same type of drive shaft that the MBX5 uses so its either an MBX4XR or an MBX5. I'm leaning toward MBX4XR due to the fact that I think the MBX5 is a rather new car.

So I guess my question now is, will the front drive shaft for an MBX5 or MBX6 fit in an MBX4XR? Any Mugen experts out there?

That was over 10 years ago man. I barely even remember having that rig. Whatever it was I didnt have it very long. I'm guessing I couldnt figure out what it was so I probably traded it off for something else. In fact that may have been the rig that i traded for the mini MGT I used to own.
