between the mbx5r and the mbx5 prospec. Are they the same thing like truggy, theres the mbx5t then the prospec? Im guessing the prospec is better?

Good Guess

Actually, i was just looking, and the mbx5r costs more tho...

5r is new, 5 prospec is old.

Yeah if they were the same thing, my life would have been so much easier when I went to pick one up..Hundreds of mbx5 prospecs out there, and like 5 5R's out there f/s.

Well im thinkin about new probably, just because i know how easily stuff wears out and everything, like i was cleaning the truggy today and already the clutch bearings are screwed, and stuff like that. But if i cant afford new, ill keep you in mind.

u cant afford 1$ clutch bearings???

motoxer4life · (#10 (**permalink**))

Yes i can. That was an example. If you want me to list out everything that can be used or worn i will but id still prefer new.

how in the hell can u wear out a truck in a month

J-Dub · (#12 (**permalink**))

yeah for real....

motoxer4life · (#13 (**permalink**))

Ok you want me to list i guess,

clutch bearings, a pin popped out of the cvd and cut a line in the arm, and the turnbuckle thing, so its getting ready to crack. Tires worn and coming unglued, the steering post bearings got pretty dirty and i tried to clean them but theyre kinda sticky still. Body getting cracked. Ill think of more if you want.

motoxer4life · (#14 (**permalink**))

But either way, ill much rather get new so i know exactly how it was built and so i know how to rebuild it and what not.

wow thats what you call alot getting worn out??? man you do have alot to learn, a set of tires?!?! wtf do u expect all i can say is wow. when u start going through a list of parts like that in a race day then u can bitch

How many times do you think i raced in a month? I raced the bash and 1 club race. 2 races total, and maybe 4 practice nights on the whole thing. Thats not much driving.
