Is That the E2701 engine mount? I am building an mbx8. Took some pointers from the video for the amain build. I am just a club house racer, I am using savox servos and my question is when is it necessary to shim the servo up? I do like the flashpoint washer setup. I’m just wondering if I should use a shim under the servo. Thanks for your time
Thank you very much Adam much appreciated. All hobby stores in my area told me that the one piece mount is absolute. Tried on line and no luck, I like the Losi air filter set up just order one. Thanks for all the help and your time for the local club racer.
Hi Adam, I have the Mbx7R nitro and I want to upgrade my radio (I use a spectrum dx4c). If you could rate the Hitec Lynx on a scale of 1 to 10 (with 10 being the best) what would it score on terms of quality and performance? That Futaba you have now looks really impressive, but the reason I am looking at the Hitec is because the technical specs look pretty good, and both the radio and the receiver prices seem more reasonable compared to the other brands.
Karl, The Hitec radio is very good considering the price point, but I'm not sure how much longer they will continue to support the radio. The Futaba 7PX is amazing, but Futaba also has other radio systems at a lower price point.
Loving the new car, cant wait till the Eco version comes out! Great vid as always Mr Drake! My question is, when will you be racing 1/10th again? Will we get vids on those rides also?
@@adamdrake8006 I am a big big fan of the protek servos too. Everything protek I have used so far has surprised me when it comes to quality. Not that I expected poor results... they simply set the performance and quality bar!
Haha! I have used the Protek electronic switch and it works well. The switch I normally use is the JRPA003 switch that isn't made anymore, but works great. Once I run out, I'll switch everything over to the Protek switch.
Awesome move . Love the new car and gear that you choose for it , wish you the best for 2018 season .
Good luck to you this season. Have a great time.
Sweet looking setup. Good luck in the 2018 season.
Thank you!
Nice! thanks for showing us your car!
My pleasure!
I wondered how that pipe mount worked, very good video. Thankz

Best lookin rc car I've ever seen
Thank you!

Yes, it's the one piece engine mount from Mugen Seiki. You should only need to shim the servos up if they are touching the chassis.

Any word on the availability of a 85mm manifold??? Can't seem to find one anywhere.
www.towerhobbies.com has them on order from O.S. They should be receiving them soon.
what about the right angle fuel connection on your tank? where is that from if you don't mind
It's the Losi EFRA fitting.
@@AdamDrake awesome , thanks
My pleasure!
Hi Adam, Congratulations for car !!! Fantastic !!!
Where can I find your switch? Thanks
Thank you! I don't think this switch is available anymore (JRPA003). I'm not testing the Protek switch.

Thank you! Yes, just posted a 1/10th video.
What purpose does a magnetic wheel nut have? I have never heard that term before
off-road RC racing New Mexico I'm sure it means your wheel nuts stay on the tool, wont fall off. 😎

Met drake a few time at revelation speed way my home track cool guy
Thank you!
Mr Drake what's the holdup with the eco? When is the reveal and release?
We raced the MBX8 Eco at DNC. It's coming soon.
Where can we find your setup sheets for the mbx8?
We have set-ups on www.mugenracing.com or you can email me direct at adrake@mugenracing.com
Love the car!! Looks like the one I have!💁🏻♂️
I was always curious do you use telemetry with these expensive radios?
Hello,
I don't use telemetry, but it is available.
Adam Drake Im curious why then? Becouse itd extra weight in sensors or is there any other reason?
Please explain your air filter and fuel line routing
I like the Losi filter because it allows more clearance for the linkage. The shorter fuel line seems to be more consistent and more reliable.
very nice !
Thank you!
Care to comment on the servo change? I know you had been using hitec stuff for a while...
I tested the Protek servos and really liked the precision and feel of the servos.
Adam Drake Any reason for the transmitter change? Were you not happy with the Lynx? Looking forward to more videos!

When is a truugy coming out
It's in the works but no date at this time.
Adam Drake ok thank you I just picked up the MBX8 and I can't wait to race it I switched from hotbodies to mugen
Very nice! Let me know if you have any questions. adrake@mugenracing.com
Adam Drake ok thank you so much
Looks like a champ..
:) Thanks!
Sweet ride
Question..> is there a reason why you don't use electronic On - Off switch ? short on budget...kidding
Haha! I have used the Protek electronic switch and it works well. The switch I normally use is the JRPA003 switch that isn't made anymore, but works great. Once I run out, I'll switch everything over to the Protek switch.
Hi Adam! So no more Lynx 4s? Or is it still in your arsenal?
No sir, I'm using the Futaba 7PX radio system.
No more TLR servo horn
:)
For sale ? Lol lol
Yes, www.mugenracing.com
Adam Drake I want your used one all broke in , set up and ready to go !! Lol lol.
Haha, I can't sell my vehicles.
