Tekno RC V3 Brushless Kit Mugen MBX6 (42mm Castle/Tekin Motors)
Excellent kit. Quality of parts is great. I like having the option for mechanical brakes. More importantly it drives great. I didn't change a thing from my nitro setup other than add more spring preload to bring the ride height back to where it should be because it's slightly heavier overall. The stock mugen body won't fit, I used the J concepts Xray 808 body and it's nearly perfect. The angle of the steering arm linkage is a little more than I like but it hasn't caused a problem. To accomodate the battery Tekno moved the center diff over which puts slightly more angle on the drive shafts but it seems fine. I'm using a Maxamps 6500 60c 4s with a Tekin 1900kv, 13 tooth pinion and stock spur. 20 to 25 minutes run time. Their clutch setup works great but I'll try direct drive next, remember you have to use Tekno's long shank pinions for direct drive. Till Mugen kicks out their own e-buggy this is a good option for your MBX6.
