@@sammybaka I have a Furitek Momentum and a PN 5500 in it at the moment. It's plenty of motor. Servo is the same GL as that's what was laying around my parts.
@@liljohn1064 Hi, I've seen a bunch of 130 size motors, but the one Atomic motor mount that has screw holes are all sold out. How do you go by mounting the motor to the carbon chassis?
Thanks! It also took me some time to find this, but it's available on the instructions of MBW031. Check out the images on kyoshoamerica.com/mbw031.html
Thank you Sammy for this video. I have been wanting to do this to my mini-z buggy as well. What servo did you go with? Do you have a parts list for the electronics you chose?
Thank you. For now I'm using the GL003-DMG servo (used in GLR, etc) but eventually I will probably use the stronger AGFRC A06CLS. There's no servo saver so I expect the servo to be stressed a lot. I will need to look into potential solutions (perhaps using the GLA saver unit). ESC is the older Furitek Momentum v1, but any brushless ESC will do. The motor is a surpass rocket sensorless brushless 3500kv. Because of the motor mount design and that sensored motors I'm aware of don't have the D-shaped bell end (aside from the new kyosho ones), I didn't consider any sensored setup at all. The NB4 receiver I'm using is a dasmikro dsk-150. Lipo is the older GL 330mah, but there are a lot of options for battery packs with roughly the same dimension (pn, reflex, atomic, mwx, marka, etc).
@sammybaka thank you so much sammy! This would be very helpful when I do my build. I also will upgrade to Stronger ESC and servo. When you do upgrade please let me know what you choose, I will just copy you :)
Thanks. If budget allows, go for the a06cls right away. I expect to break the basic GL servo but i happen to have a few unused ones anyway. For motor, 5500kv would be my choice.
Great video! I wish your video was out when I built mine so I can look for better mesh and smoothness. Yours is butter smooth. I ended up with getting a full aluminum Yeah Racing kit for the C knuckles and suspension uprights.
Yup, a big limitation of this and the original mb-010 chassis. The only buggy I drive outside is the Carisma GT24 and it also wouldn't be able to handle sand or very small debris.
I prefer using a brushed mini z buggy. This truck is too small for outdoor. For indoor, brushed motor is powerful enough and I can keep using my AAA batteries.

Spot on! I have a couple more to build myself.
Awesome! What kind of electronics do you plan to use?

@@liljohn1064 Thanks for sharing. Do you feel the buggy needs some sort of servo saver solution from your experience so far?

I love this Chassis and have 2 now :D very worth the upgrade!
Very nice! I hope it won't multiply like rabbits for me :)
cool build. good edit very calming to watch as i sipped my coffee this AM. cheers.
Thank you. This was the funnest build I'd done in a while!
Thank you so much for this!...You've shown the only explanation for the gear/plate combos that I could find....where can I get a copy of it online?

Thanks for sharing! I haven't run the brushed buggy before but it looks perfect for indoor use.
