The 2 knuckels before the main. A front arm, dog bone and bent turnbuckel today was the icing on the cake. You see its able to run, just not stay together. Its for sale if you want it.Big Grin
And dont worry Roc, we'll be fineBig Grin
Sweet!! You guys will like that truck from what Ive been hearing.
AWSOME....i thought you would finally pull the trigger after a day like today....talked to kyosho and they want me to sent them my truck for "inspection" with the uni still popped out, they said dont touch anything just send it in and we will replace everything. that mugen will be sweet, the 1 there today looked dialed. no more ball bustin on the "other " site. lol
Ahhh Kev I drive the same thing you do and have no where near the probs with breakage and when I do it is driver related.
It was our head on collision that did us both in last week----That loud crack you can hear from a far.

I noticed today I also have a bent axle.
The kewl part about all the broken parts---the Mugen (Front uprights) part is still intact.
I broke all SWK parts---LOL

FWIW---I plan on getting the Mugen as well next year but I will get the prospec.
I just need to ride this one out for a bit longer to make it worth what I put into it.
glad to hear ur ditchin that pile kevin! lol
Lol. +1

Now who's driving the turd??? Big Grin
prolly you kev... You still got that mayhem buggy??!? LOL
Just got in from being in the woods for 6 days, man that shower was good. I'm in Upper Michigan hunting for another week right now.

I finished building my MBX5T last week before leaving. Very nice kit, good quality and everything fit really good. I'm looking foward to running when I get home but right now I'm enjoying the fall colors and hunting.
I do still have both at the moment. One at a time. Im not made of money. lol
Why havent you ran yours yet Roc? Not enough pictures in the instruction manual...

Its hard to build when the brown truck hasnt dropped it off yet. Have you hacked anyone with yours yet???!?!? (LMFAO!!!) Even with it in the box i figured you'd be able to hack someone
he was trying to hack me today but he broke.......first
thats his m.o. "hack till your broke or win" Kinda like Ricky Bobby... But with less hair! ZIIIING!!!!


Sometime tomorrow ups is droppin it off. I cant wait!
Ohhh that is how it goes.

Do yuo were gunnin for me last week then---well I didn't break knuckles---LOL
I'll probably be getting one of these for next outdoor season, we'll see. They look like geat trucks.
For the extra $100-120 the prospec version seems like the way to go, if you were to buy all the hop ups separate they would be like $300+
Prospec isnt really needed , looking forward to driving the Moogen Smile

And ive seen the problems Kevs been having with the crapworks and i can say it aint driver related.
prospec is very necessary if u are going to race it, the parts and stuff are much better, and you wont have to buy all the KHZ stuff

now if we could only get rocco to stop swinging from Scott Hughes nuts on the Sgrid....LOL

I think my truggy served its purpose well. It got me into the truggy class with a low inital investment, and upgraded as I felt needed. It taught me alot on driving and setup. Now I thnk Im just pushing it beyond its mechanical limits. Running harder = more stress on parts that wernt made to deal with racing. It served me well and will do the same for the next owner and at a much lower cost. Big Grin
running harder into more tubes....Smile its still a turd! hahah
Comon man, 2 years ago I showed up at the indoor track with a Tmaxx then Savage, upgrading to the mighty Revo. Talk about tube hitting. lol Looking back at those days, Id say much improved.
I'll give ya $150 for the gayhem truggy
