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

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.

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'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
