adjusts your caster!! more caster...meaning wheels laid back, will have a more stable straight line stability (think shopping cart wheel) but not a very responsive steering...

less caster..less straight line stability,more steering

hope this helps!

No problems i ever had,only issues i have herd of is people breaking the upper arm plate that bolts to the diff, mugen and king headz sells it in aluminum

if you want a car that is super stable,tons of steering and settles down faster then anything i ever drove (came from a 8ight 2.0) your going to love it....oh did i mention its missle fast, super light and jumps like a Muther!

i was the most consistant and won and placed top 3 the most with this car out of all the cars i had

Cool

right now i'm center in the upper arm bushing position..this thing drives like a mutha.Turning is not a problem..I'm also in the center as far as forward-rearward..adjusting the upper arms high,low,center accomplishes what?? sorry for all the questions...

I heard they are beefing up the flywheel hole area to help with the chassis bending. Havent seen it, but Drew Mollers crew is where the info came from.

Hi All,

just heard from a serious source of Mugen Europe that there is no update comming. Seams it is a rumor strewn by competitors.

I love my MBX6 :-)

Ezveedub, or anyone else with experience with these motors,I'm seriously considering a fx21eb7ts for my car. I was also considering a os speed or a ninja ebmod motor.In your opinion which one would probably get the best life and fuel consumption?? Sorry for all the questions just have enough money to buy one good reliable engine at the moment..Thanks..
