Should be out soon, that's why Tony's Screws doesn't have the long arm kit anymore. Hoping some of the parts will swap over to the MSR conversions.

 

[Got Nitro?]

I bet that's going to suck for all the resent buyers of the MSR's

has wider wheelbase than the ST-R but did you look at those cheezy braces? I hope they change those out to aluminum braces like the X5 has. Those things remind me of the Robotronics rig. It does look pimp though.

 

[NvNitro]

I like it, but I gotta feeling its going to be out of my price range. I can see a 1,000.00 easy.

 

[Buggyracer28]

I'm thinking around $700 or less, there is going to be a prospec edition soon, so they have to make it more affordable.

 

[jetmechG550]

I'll keep mine (thanks Ratzo!) with the Tony's Long Arm kit until Xray comes out with their own truggy!

 

[NvNitro]

Buggyracer..the quote I was listing, was with motor and radio and some servos. And that's just a guess but I hope your right. They got to keep this stuff down to make it affordable to all.

 

[Buggyracer28]

Ah, yeah that makes sense...

Jetmech, why not the XB8 with the Team Helotes Conversion? Or do you want Xray to get their own complete truggy like Mugen?

 

[jetmechG550]

I want x-ray to do their own.

 

[jon2]

I want x-ray to do their own.

second that. BUT this rig looks very promising.

 

[jetmechG550]

Oh, I agree. Putting Tony's long arm kit on the MSR made a huge difference. I really like the Mugen I'm just looking down the road since I have a XB8 and don't see myself trading it for a Mugen.

 

[psunitro]

It does look nice, I would expect nothing less from them!

Yeah, I just picked up a XB8(original version) and will wait for the XRay truggy.

 

[Dooley]

Hmmmmm........That may be a new toy to consider!

Mugen buggy kits overseas do not come with tires, but the buggy kits in the USA come with ProLine CrimeFighters. When I spoke to Kris Moore at Mugen USA the other day, he said they will be including CrimeFighter MT tires with the kits. He also told me that the Front & Rear shocks are longer.

dang that looks pretty cool but
how much is it is what I'm wondering about

 

[Supralover72]

It looks kind of like a downgrade from the original. It just looks more sporty rtr than thourobred race truck. Also, why not name it the MTX-5 instead of the MBX-5T?

does anyone know if the new mbx5t uses 17mm hubs or 14mm hubs? i just picked up a set of maximizer truggy wheels, but at the moment they do not offer a 14mm to 17mm conversion for the msr...

 

[jetmechG550]

I believe the new one does have 17mm. I know Dace has a 23mm and they may also have a 17mm conversion hub as well
