The thought process is ........ If it don't have to be in my buggy, It ain't gonna be in there.

With that thought process, ditch your exhaust..

would be good if the rules didnt require one and if the engine would actually work better without but i doubt it.

I used to use a deans connector on the 5R, i mounted the female part to the switch mount in the battery box so all i had to do was plug it in and go the female part was direct to the pack and the male was attatched to the receiver, i was going to look at the same sort of system but with the switch on top its a bit harder to sort out or just doesnt look as nice

Dude. That is a sick setup. I may have to try something like this. Hats off to you.

Thanks for the link to the set-up sheets...is there one that you can edit out there?

Has anyone tried 8 hole pistons in their mbx6 yet...i like how the 6 hole work and thought about making a set of 8 hole with 1.2mm or 1.1 holes?

Is there a way to identify X-6 springs that are missing the spring rate tabs?

if you are looking at the end of the spring...hold the cut/ ground end of the spring at 12:00...while holding the spring...look at the bottom and see where the cut/ground part of the spring is and it's just like a clock...if it's at the 15 min. mark it is the .25 spring and so on...if it is at the 45 min mark it is .75...

count the coils, the first number on the tag is the amount of coils. more coils are softer springs.

Yep, calipers won't help. I slide colored heat shrink on each matching set of springs. Then write down what spring rate each color is. You can count the coils, but it's easier for me to use heat shrink.
