Thanks for the info. I seem to hear this a lot. I bought the spektrum as i was familiar with them from when i used to race years ago. And it was a cheap starter radio for me to see just how interested i was in getting back into rc. Realizing i'm here to stay it might be something i upgrade in the near future.

Direct power your servo and Rx. See if that solves your "brown out" problems.
Find a local racer that can help you with Mugen shocks. There is no shock help in the Mugen threads on Rctech. Mugens have weird shocks, which is why I quit using Mugens.
Yeah, allway curve your motor wires forward, not back. The Protech 4100 lipo is a good fit for the Mugen. The JConcepts Finnisher body is great fo the Mugen. Leave an extra 1/4" under the body and secure it with velcro. I removed my body posts.

I have the same receiver as you in my MBX6E. I use a HV servo also, Savox 2274SG. I have a Novak glitch buster plugged into the bind port on my receiver. The glitch buster is stuffed in the receiver box too. I notice that you do not have an antenna tube in the pic. I know it sounds unlikely but I find that Spektrum receivers can be particular about antenna placement. I would get an antenna tube if you don't have one. I thought it odd when you mentioned that the RX seems to cut out when you land.
Are you using a shock cushion on the bottom of your RX? 2 sided tape, velcro or something similar.
Good luck.

I had it double side taped inside the receiver box and it stayed put. I was wondering if i should either put a double layer there to try and help but it may sit to high then for the top to come down without putting a strain on the plugs. I'll find out tomorrow as i am going to get it all cleaned up and back together tonight hoping to hit up the local track tomorrow to see if i fixed anything yet.

i updated the thread with my findings. Found that the battery was shorting out when i hit hard. Reseting the rx. When the BEC loses power the rx has to be rebinded(BEC is plugged into the bind/pwr slot) However the battery was coming right back on after impact every time so by the time i got up to my car the esc was already on and it just needed to be binded again. Found this out as i was hooking up the rx i had it on and noticed it just shut off out of now where. Well i moved around the battery cables just slightly and it came right back on. So atleast it was a old battery that i intended on replacing anyways. Thanks again for all the advice
