If you look carefully there's a 2mm balance port between the two 5mm +-. You need something like this but just need to make sure it aligns with your charger inputs.
Always balance charge for 2s and above, no good will come from out of balance cells.

you know i seen that connector and input on battery i and had a feeling that had something to do with it. thank you this is simple i found one that all fits my connector setup. I finally got the buggy running today i have lots of tweaking to do though

have some tweaking to do im wondering if i should open up the mp9 and tune up diffs i have not did this since purchase but only ran it 10x what is
your guys thoughts

Matty A

you've got very light (for road) FCR of 353. I'd expect the MP9 to be ballooning tires and bleeding power through any unloaded tire but it'll be easier (slower) to drive. Conversely, the MP10 will have power going to all 4 wheels more evenly and is probably popping wheelies and very fast. You have two very different setups to compare, I'd say go with the one you like more. I'd be leaning toward the thicker oils but that's a personal preference.

Matty you are correct the MP9 tires ballon like crazy cant keep the car down. My MP10 feels great but also can’t stay down tires balloon as well I still have to do a speed test on both I will probably this weekend. Am I running the correct tires for just bashing and getting best speed.
I started to open up the MP9 now go out the thinker oil I feel I like the way it feels more.
also if I bought a 6s battery for the MP9 with castle combo will I get this faster as well. Let me know thanks for the help.

RPM is proportional to volts. 6S will increase RPM over 4S by 50%. In theory that would equate to a 50% increase in speed. But..... heat will increase as the law of physics comes into play.
The mamba X will handle 6S but I'm unsure the motor - check with Castle or have a heat gun at the ready and don't go nuts with gearing. At a guess you're looking at a 70mph plus car.
For ballooning I believe Sweep does a belted tire which resist that.
You can also always go heavier oil in the centre diff to the point you virtually lock it up, you'll then have 4 ballooning tires rather than 2.
There's probably a speed run forum here that knows what to do there.

anyone know if the the ebuggy has the long shock and towers like the tki2 has

Matty A

No it doesn’t.

Ryan Lutz with a strong showing back with Kyosho, second place finish at the DNC in Ebuggy.

Not many run Kyosho where I race. I have no inclination to change. Looking at Lutz’s result with the standard ebuggy this weekend he has no problem with the stock setup either. The longer shocks have been around for many years but when Boots and Tebo ran Kyosho it was very rare to see those shocks in action.

Lutz killed it out there with the eBuggy. not bad for just starting a new platform. He also did pretty good with in Nitro Truggy. He started good with Nitro Buggy, but I don't know what happened.

Jelin was looking pretty good out here also. Too bad he won't be running Kyosho 1/10 any more.

so i went ahead and grabbed some belted tires a 6s motor with 2x 3s batteries switched the maba x to my mp10 and im getting 75 mph damn thats fast the 4s was getting 53mph stil fast but this fun lol
anyone know of any dirt or road tracks over here by NYC or NJ i tried to look it up but nothing really comes up

I'm not sure how comprehensive the list are but check out the House of RC app, might be helpful.
