MBX5 buggy roller w/hopups.....
Loaded with Racers Edge stuff and some Mugen option parts. When I say loaded, I mean almost everything (if not everything). Ready to race after you drop in your electronics and motor/pipe. I bought this buggy for $400 about 1 gallon ago. It's in great shape. I will sell for $325. You will be getting a starter box with battery and charger (this didn't come with the original $400 purchase price), 2 sets of crimefighters (half worn, but very usable), a body, and of course the wing setup. Everything is ready to go. I've done really well with buggy being that it was my first buggy I ever raced. It pretty much drives itself.
The price of $325 is firm and whoever buys it will be getting a kick a$$ deal. This is a top notch race buggy.
Any questions, please ask. You can call me if you want to chat about it instead of going back and fourth on this thread, it's up to you 630-546-3245 - Gabe

Sweet ass deal!!! I've seen it raced many times, and it's a great buggy.
Did you get something else, or are you done with 1/8 buggy?

Mich,
How about $325 pick up since your getting a killer deal anyway! I should be selling this thing for more! I just want to get the $325 and buy a couple revo things.
The P5 and OS2050 will most likely find their way into the revo if it's do-able with a BB kit and bump box. So can it be done?

BTW, it was never $325 shipped, people needing shipping would need to add money!

Gabe, I'm sure it can be done somehow. If thats what you wanna do, I'd talk to Finn since he was one of the first guys to stuff a BB in his Revo. He had that VZB in his.
Thats gonna be insane if you get that to work =)

I'll just de-tune the motor and it should come off a 30 min main around 210F with power to spare. I'm just tired of trying to pull all the power I can out of the TM while it's running at 280F. I would rather have the same power as the TM running at 210F. Plus the BB motors are just so much more reliable IMO.
I have this buggy posted on 4-5 boards and it's going to go quick! Jump on it now if you want it. I have many people interested at the moment.

Right on. You'll have more power than the TM even running at 160. =)

gabe, you crazy!
LOL, the TM is already almost too much for the revo, and you're gonna put in the P5? If it works out for ya pretty good, I'm going to big block power too  . I've always had better luck with big blccks anyway. Would make alot of sense for me to toss one in the revo in the future. I'm just not sure how the rest of the truck will hold up to the power.

gabe you must have a bad tm, Mine makes more then enough power to race and it runs consistantly at 220-230 all day long.

I don't have a bad TM, mine is Fast!
And if your motors run so good Mich why do you constantly buy a new one, I know your not putting 6-10 gallons on each one. That would mean you used over 20 gallons in the last year and you don't even come out often (you've had like 3-4 OS motors). Sounds like your the one whos had bad OS motors.
Mine runs fine, it just runs around 260-280 in it's peak power.

I just figure why push a motor to it's limits all the time, drop a P5 in there and take it easy (yet still keep up)

i go through motors because there not that reliable for a long term life in them. Ive averaged about 3-4 gallons on the tm but now i finally found a fix for the tm and now i should be able to get like 6-10 gallons out of them.

Mine seems reliable. There are quite a few other people that have had good luck also (over 8 gallons). There are tons of people with problems though. I think it's the user personally. All the people that have tons of gas through them have never taken them apart, seems all the people that "maintain" their motor have a short life. I'm leaving mine together until it pukes on it's own.

not to try and get off subject again but Rd racing has written up a very nice and detailed thread on his site about the .18 os motors prematurely wearing out to fast. Just a heads up to people running these motors since we talked about that in this thread http://www.rdracingproducts.com/forums/i...wtopic=974
