been using them for years and never had one problem that wasnt my own stupidity. Dont pull by the wires and just pay attention to wear on the plug. Its that simple.

Anyone have a good indoor setup? Fast med-high bite clay track that is pretty tight. I searched indoor setup but couldn't really find anything. Thanks in advance.

Just as a guess I would think that lowering your ride height a little bit. Other than that I havent had a chance to practice different setups on an indoor track

Are you coming down to the Warehouse or for SIC? Either way head over to:
https://www.facebook.com/groups/367088333342417/
& ask Jeremy Kasten. He should be able to set you up ahead of time.

Hello. Which track are you headed to? Please send me a message on here or on Facebook and give me an idea of how you like the car to feel and what your current setup is similar to. Thanks!

Just picked up an MBX7. I know it's probably been asked a million times but I don't have time to read thru the 850 pages to find it but what's the difference in the the MBX7 and MBX7R besides the shocks? Can the 7 be converted to the 7R fairly easily?

chassis,
shocks, rear Shock length
Rear shock tower
drive shafts (uni)
arms and hubs (i think) to compensate for different drive shaft

Generally it costs around 250-300 to convert to an R. Most people say if you sell the X7 and use the money you would to do the upgrades you could buy a new kit.

If you want to feel the difference is enough to buy the four shock absorbers and tower shock

Is it worth doing the whole up grade to the7r are just the shocks and rear shock tower are is there that much of a difference between the too.

I dont think that it is worth it for 7 different parts. I dont see how it can pay off that much.
