After a lot of playing with the setup and a few tips from Merdith6 (Thanks) finally came accross a setup this weekend that felt really good, so I figured I would post it.......

Anyway, car was nimble and quick, had tons of steering while still being easy to drive. Still want to play with a couple things, but, it was really good.

Also, it has the extended chassis.

The old MBX5 had some caster change unless you put ~1.5mm spacers between the hinge and top plate.

So does that mean that you set both front and rear pills to the down-middle or upper possition?

Or do you leave the rear one in the down possition and only change the pills in the front shock tower!?

Thanks for the help in advance, its something i have never understood with the pivot ball front end.
