[murderedc230]

I plan on running a Futaba 3pk but I dont have the slightest bit of idea on what I have to get as far as receiver and servos go. Can someone link me to some "affordable" options?

Front & rear a-arms, buy 2 GREAT servos, & get lots of tires & wheels!

(Besides, MANY of us Truggy boyz WILL have parts!)

your gonna get a bunch of replies on servos as everyone has there own favorites i personally like and have had no problems with the ace brand servos , and the new hitec servos are a good choice also , as far as parts i couldnt tell you what the common parts breakage is on a mbx5t , most guys i race against have the mbx6t and i have only seen one front a arm break , i run the losi 8t but thinking about getting a mbx6t as i drove a friends and i really liked it !!!

+1 on the ACE servos. I run these in the buggy & truggy. Zipper uses these, too. Really throws the front around! AMAIN dropped the price on them about a month ago, making a good deal better.

Get a good reciever pack. The high-torque servos really draw the power. Stickman makes a 2500mah pack for the 5 series for about $30. I get well over an hour of run time off a single charge. Just food for thought. You cant really go wrong with any name-brand, high-torque, digital servo! :thumbs:

I run the same servos listed above, actually have 2 sets. The older set is a backup just in case of a failure. Don;t want to DNF due to a servo.

IF I remember correctly, Bonner has a LOT of parts for the X5T!

Have you decided on ENGINE yet? If not, the Werks B5 is AWESOME in a Truggy! Got one in MY X6T!http://www.amainhobbies.com/product_info.php/products_id/150092/n/Werks-Racing-Team-Line-B5-21-Off-Road-Competition-Buggy-Engine-Turbo-Plug

Looking at REAPLACING the Old RB WS7 II in the X6 for one of these!

Sold it with the Go Tech .25 and 1007 pipe, so he should be good to go for a while, especially seeing this motor/pipe combo cleared the triple on Saturday.
