MBX5 Pro Spec build in progress....

[HIREz]

heh, right on, thanks for the props, yeps I haven't updated that old arse web-site in about a year now, but whateva, if i did that then i wouldnt have any time to race, i'd be painting all the time, *shhh* ,, haha..
The E0207's are the front option dogbones that let you spread the front tracking out about 3mm more per side, that's one of those parts that I think are more important than almost any other option part, since it helps that front end bite hard and makes the car more solid..
That and the option gas tank cap are , in my opinion, the highest priority parts for a stock x-5, (the option tank cap comes on the spec kit).
You can set-up the car sooo agressive with those in there, and still be legal for roar rules...

Lates!!

Damn! Those are some SWEET bodies! now, only if I was that skilled w/ the airbrush....

 

[ImBroken]

I managed to squeeze in a couple more hours of build time...

Engine mounted..

Pipe mounted..

Stinger guard..

Layout..

Linkages installed..

The fuel line included with the kit is a tad short, so I'm gonna get some more & route it a little better...

It will be finished tomorrow.... :smoke:

Dammit Will.... I'm gonna have to get those dogbones now... lol

 

[Team 17]

I'm drooling! Looks awesome.

 

[HIREz]

bwa-haha,, *grin* .
drop me your address again, I'll pop em in the mail when I get back on monday, send me a money order when you can,,,also , keep spare fuel tubing around at all times, when you're at the track, and this i've noticed since we've been racing 3 days a week, is that sometimes you'll get a snag in the fuel tubing and the motor tune will seem to start going out of whack, when all it is , is a hole in some part of the line. quickest way to destroy a pretty little investment... so take extra time to route that fuel line supa-clean, and secure it...

Also, once you get these new front pieces (and this works for the mugen onroad cars also) , use the teflon tape you'd use for air-tools, and wrap the pillowball threads before you install them, it keeps them in the arms when you take a good jolt and keeps all your settings in place.

if you can hold out a little, break the mota' in with the stock head, take note of the temp settings once you start running it with power,,, then change out to the schmugen head.... I think we talked about that,, but I shoot the shiznit with to many peeps these days so I wanted to make sure,, then after running it for a bit, change out to the grey head and see if your temps change, that way if that head cools the motor more, you wont go to lean on the settings...

well crap on me, it's getting late, gotta go get all the grear in the car for tomorrow,
oh shiznit, email me if I didn't tell you about the power-break-in for that thing.

Lates!!

Lookin great! finally startin to look like a actual buggy.

 

[Nitro_Freak]

wow. looks so stealth and way too clean. you better get it dirty!!

 

[msly]

Yea you might want to send that out when requested via PM. I can honestly say that the buggy looks intense in person. It's way too purty to bash with.

I cannot disclose that kind of information in such an open forum, in fear that a significant other may be lurking at some point... lol I'll let you know when I'm done.... :smoke:

 

[ImBroken]

I'm just about finished up... Just some linkage & suspension adjustments, mounting of my failsafe & Temp monitor, & some lid painting...
Here's some quick shots...

The boyz...

[FastEddy]

Nice!

Are you going to give your other one to your Son? hehe

Quit Lolly-gaging and get that lid done.

I probably wont be in Lancaster till around Xmas... I'll let you know if we make an earlier trip...
I'm going to try out this "Power Break-In" technique that Hirez spoke of. It's a heat cycling method...
Read here...
I'm hoping to get her broken in by next weekend...
