My buddy has one. Just wondering if they are still raced at all, parts available, worth anything?? You know. Parts compatible with the MBX5? Good price for a roller?

Thanks.

Mad love for the MBX4...maybe not the greatest racer anymore but you saw it bash!!

Any love for the MBX4?? - FreeRideFrosty - 07-17-2006

Whats it worth as a roller??

Any love for the MBX4?? - Obsessive R/C - 07-17-2006

Depends on the condition...seems like they were on Ebay for $100-$125 or even more, but I haven't seen them around too much lately. Alot of MBX-5 parts interchange, but you may find arms getting hard to find. I was going to try modding the 5 arms to fit but never got around to it.

Is it a XR or anything?

I found a RR XR roller for $130 (just to give you an idea)

Good shape. Not great.... but not bad. Everything working, nothing stripped. Includes extras of just about everything, wheels, and tires.

But I think I may get more use out of a pool cue....... LoL I still don't know what I want to do reguardingthis RC thing. I could get at most 3 races in before college......

Just buy it ...put it all together...race it...then sell it to me for half of what you put into it when you leave for school. Big Grin

Any love for the MBX4?? - FreeRideFrosty - 07-17-2006

Oh you funny guy you. I am still weighing options to see if it worth it for me to get back into it right now. At first I really wanted to but I have a little less than a month before I go away to school. I have the buggy Tune offered me, and then I was offered a really good deal on the MBX4, nice steering servo, pretty good throttle servo, and a reciever pack. I would just need a motor for a fairly raceable vehicle, lots of spares, and wheels and tires. Or I can save the money from getting into racing, buy a pool cue, tank setup, and snake that I can take to college. I don't know. If I thought I could get $200-$250 for the RTR MBX4 in 3 or 4 weeks I could let that money out temporarily, but that is not guaranteed. If I could get the Storm ASAP, get it fairly raceable, and then either keep it or sell it for close to what I put into it then that would work. I don't know though seeing that I don't have a ride to the track for the next week and a half or so. That leaves 2 race days at most that I can run. I don't know if it is worth it the more I think of it.......

LMFAO!!!!!

Dan.. I realy dont know what your debating other cars for.... Ya know tune gave you that deal because he felt sorry for you after that sob story you told ....
If i were him id tell ya to get bent... My 2.00 dollars

Any love for the MBX4?? - FreeRideFrosty - 07-17-2006

Read what I just posted man. I think it explains it well. I can't afford to lose that money. I just can't. I was mostly just asking. I never meant to come accross as you obviously think that I have. Not my intent and my apologies. Just saying what I was offered and asking out of curiosity what it was worth. ORC was making a joke referring back to my revo......

Any love for the MBX4?? - FreeRideFrosty - 07-17-2006

And before you jump on me for saying selling the storm.... that would be if I didn't stay back in it during college. It would be offered back to Tune or someone else in my position for cheap. That is all. Hope I didn't give the wrong notion to anyone.....

Any love for the MBX4?? - rocco79 - 07-17-2006

Wow! Those post were made at the same time!

Dan i know your not tryin to be a d*ck... It just seemed alittle jerkish to me to thats all... Of course im for myself not tune.

If i were you, id buy the cheap toy car... And save my cash for the snake and pool cue. Cuz getting that much for a 3 model old buggy i think is dreaming

Any love for the MBX4?? - FreeRideFrosty - 07-17-2006

Indeed.

Any love for the MBX4?? - Tex - 07-17-2006

Hey now K2's (buggies) are still decent, Cory was kicking all forms of SP2 ass with one not too long ago.....lol

MBX4, I was gunna say....If you can snag one for about the same deal as Tune's, I'd grab it over the storm. IMO

Any love for the MBX4?? - Tex - 07-17-2006

ok, maybe the K2 thing was exagerating a bit but he did kick ass more than a couple times...

Any love for the MBX4?? - rocco79 - 07-17-2006

LOL! I know a good driver could win with one of those Hobbytown brand buggies... But theres no resale, Like dans lookin for ...

Any love for the MBX4?? - FreeRideFrosty - 07-17-2006

With a deal like Tunes, I don't need resale. That would be a "you sold it to me for $75, would you like it back for $60?" or pass it on to another racer who needs in for $75. I could pick up the roller MBX4 if I wanted with a lot of extras, really good servos, reciever pack, wheels and tires, add a radio I have, and all I would need is a motor. I could get that though for $150 before the motor. Add a $100 OS RG and that is $250. I would like to get about $200-$2XX back for it. It is not guaranteed though so I can't spend that much. You guys understand what I am saying??

Any love for the MBX4?? - rocco79 - 07-17-2006

I totally agree dan... Thats what i was tryin too say!

Any love for the MBX4?? - Obsessive R/C - 07-17-2006

K2's are still bringing in a decent buck on resale too...good parts support also, whereas the MBX-4 has limited parts avalible since it's not in production anymore...alot of parts still fit from the 5 like out drives, diffs, cvd's, etc. but things like arms and knuckles are getting hard to find.

Any love for the MBX4?? - rocco79 - 07-17-2006

Any love for the MBX4?? - FreeRideFrosty - 07-17-2006

Is that a pool cue or a snake??

Any love for the MBX4?? - rocco79 - 07-17-2006

both!

Any love for the MBX4?? - FreeRideFrosty - 07-17-2006

LMFAO!!! And it flies!! I think I may have suffered brain damage. Anyone like to play pool?? It doesn't take batteries or nitro fuel.... or burn up glow plugs.....

Any love for the MBX4?? - rocco79 - 07-17-2006

I used to play almost nightly... When i was like 19 -20 yo... You could play for hours for like 4 dollars and hang out all night. Lots of broads in there too!
