RC Monster MBX6 Conv Kit

[BRS]

After a delay in customs and an 18quid charge this came yesturday. The Kyosho spur is not part of the kit but everything else is. Bit tight only supplying one strap I thought and whats the deal with that is it suppost to go around the tray and battery, it doesnt look big enough (no provision to loop through the side of thr tray)?

I'll let you know how I get on with it, no instructions supplied not sure what the servo plate mounts on... The motor mount looks quality

Looks nice!

Should be two straps - shoot Mike an email about it.

As far as the servo mount, you use the standard plastic blocks, then take off the stock top plate, then put the new one on (with the cross for the transponder facing outwards).

Had a quick look at it last night and worked out where stuff goes. There seems to only be one slot across the bottom for the one strap but I will email him and see what he says.
The zippy Lipo fits "like a glove" but as I thought the strap is too short for this brick esk battery.
All the mount points on the tray line up perfectly with the standard holes on the chassis. Some screws are supplied in the kit but not most of them which is a bit odd either supply all or non at all I would have thought?

The RX8 mounts straight onto the pre drilled tray nicely, shame that the motor to esc sensor wire is so long...

BTW the Kyosho spur looks like a non starter as the outdrive diam must be larger on the Kyosho to the Mugen and there are other significant differences.

Hmm, I'm not too keen on the one strap, but it doesn't look like it could mount anywhere else easily.

Any normal sensor wire will fit the RX8 and you can get different length ones.

I think he supplies screws that are required if you include the ones you remove from the chassis. You are right though, all of them would be better.

Test ran the car on tarmac this weekend....flippineck its quick!!

Looking forward to getting on the track with it...if it ever stops snowing/rainging/freezing

Well impressed with the RC Monster Kit and the Zippy Lipo seems great will post a couplr more pics tomorrow.

Only problem with such a large battery is it wont fit under the standard mugen shell
