Mugen Mbx-5 Prospec - bigjs - 09-01-2005 What's the main difference's between the regular Mbx-5 and the Prospec? I'm sure Tex knows the answers? Mugen Mbx-5 Prospec - SixVi6-Camaro - 09-01-2005 well tower has the Prospec hop ups over stock X5 listed.. http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&P=G&I=LXKAE0 The MBX-5 ProSpec Includes the Following Hop-Ups over the Standard MBX-5 Mugen Buggy: Front/Rear/Center Universal Driveshafts HD Damper w/3.5mm Damper Shafts A70-75 T6 3mm Main Aluminum Chassis Carbon Radio Plate Carbon Center Diff Mount Plate Carbon Steering Brace.

LOL!! Mugen Mbx-5 Prospec - Tex - 09-03-2005 I had no idea what the difference was so I'm glad Six chimmed in! All I know is the prospec is supposed to be way better in the "hop-up" dept. And as Roc said, it's way more expensive Mugen Mbx-5 Prospec - SixVi6-Camaro - 09-03-2005 yeah but the $300 aditional cost of the Prospec is worth it because if you add up the cost to buy all the Prospec Upgrades to mod a standard X5 I bet it could cost way more than $300. Mugen Mbx-5 Prospec - satoch - 09-03-2005 I can bet you that the additional $300 won't help a guy like me get into the A-Main in a Pro-Series race! LOL!!! Seriously though, I'm learning quickly that one needs to learn to drive smoothly and consistently first to be fast. I got tired of buying A-arms (and Bernie teasing me) so I've been focusing on driving and not having the fastest truck out there. I'm sure these buggies are awesome, but only the individual can decide if it's truly necessary for that item to move them to the next level. For most of us, I hate to say, I doubt it. Just food for thought.

I remember soooo many wise men saying things like, "It's not the arrows it's the indian" and "The tools don't make the craftsman". At some point better equipment make the job easier, but basic fundamentals are required, as you point out. Someone else also sais here "Slow is fast". yep, sometimes. |
