just bought this kit, (first kit ever), I have some questions of what is included
*does it comes with a pinion for the motor?
*If it does, which one?
*any parts that will be good to upgrade right of the bat while assembling the kit?
*does it comes with different set of shock pistons?
*Does it comes with shock oil?
*I'm on a budget and a local club racer, what will be a cheap servo to use?
Thanks.

just received my kit and started assembling
right away ! quality is very good overall. many nice details
some points i noticed :
- I had to drill the arms to have a perfectly free suspension.
- the manual missed some point to thread lock : the 4mm Under the aluminium motor mounts, the steering posts ( up and down ). those are places that will surely fall apart without threadlock !
- I wished that the bevel pinion and the conical ring gear worked softer together. i didn't even put the shims ! perhaps it will get better after a few packs !
- the steering doesn't allow much droop.

You might wanna make sure you have everything together correctly. This buggy has quite a lot of droop. Its more then i usually run
Some of the guys are turning the threads off on a lathe. The bottom half that is. I never did, I dont see it being that big of a difference but i might be worng

aparently Mugen did not update the spring diameter for the 7r, since the 7 used 15mm shock bodies and the 7r uses 16mm shock bodies, it will rub. One thing I saw yesterday on my local track, is that most guys are using Kyosho springs

Did I choose the wrong category?
I just bought an e-buggy (MBX7r Eco), but now looking for setup ups and videos
etc, I found that there is not much of a following from Pro-Racers or many 'Big' races. Mostly everything I found are for Nitro Buggy, even Mugens own Adam Drake does not race his Eco at all (I have not found a single video of Adam racing the eco on a big race). So now I'm kind of disappointed and might be looking at selling the Eco and get a Nitro.
What you guys think?
