W.E.D.Jim, the Speed engine uses onroad motor materials, thats where the price comes into play.

Yeah supply and demand is the American way. Plus the over inflation that was going on before this economy crisis. Sounds like the "great depression" to me.

Are Kingz Headz the only "extended" motor mounts available for the 6/6T?

It is the only extended mount that I have seen. I just picked one up the other day, and hopefully will be able to give it a try this weekend. We will see how it works out.

I usually squirt some o-lube by odonnell in there.it'll keep the axles from freezing to your bearings when it's time to change them.it doesn't leave an oily residue either..

You guys should like this. I posted this info about two or three weeks ago on another forum, where the info made it onto Buggy Sport Info's site. Its not from Mugen though. I was about to order one, but it sold out really quick. I might still order one, but they're very pricey. I will see if any other developments come about as this was the actual part Faith ONE released for sale. I'm sure the pics speak for themselves.

Has anybody been running the BCE chassis long enough to comment on it's "flex characteristics" versus the stock chassis?

Someone was running one and he hasn't posted the results on it yet. I have been wondering myself and have been waiting patiently. Hopefully someone will post about it soon.

I like to no if others have the same problem with carbon shoes on the mugen MBX6 buggy. The carbon shoe's hole that slide over the flywheel pin gets oblong after one race day. I have tried muggen and kyosho carbon shoes.

I have been running a couple of sets of Mugen carbon shoes for years. Mine got a little oblong after a long time but I haven't seen any problems from it. I have alternated between two sets of them for the last 4 years and am still using them with good results (1.0 springs).

Pretty common with any 3 shoe carbon setup...Not much you can do about it other than take it easy on them.
