Can anybody recommend a good ride height for a MSX-MRE on rubber-tire/asphalt? It's a tight technical parking-lot track with relatively short straights...

If you want to have the measurement it will take sometimes before I go measure it. Kinda busy lately. What I did was grind and measure. Do it few times and you are done. It only takes 20mins.

thanks for this cool mod....

I don't know which shop will do for you but I grind myself using 6" Mill Bastard by Nicholson. You can get it from ACE Hardware. Check it out here

Yes. That bastard will do the job just fine. Don't think you will bend your bulkhead by just mere grinding. Have fun.

Does this tray comes with nylon velcro type strap? or we still need that glass tape?

I run a 415msx with 4 mm chassis for local carpet racing . Lately I have been having major problems with my ball cups popping off when I just brush a corner . I have never in 4 seasons of racing this chassis had this problem before. I tried installing New Tamiya steel ball and New Tamiya ball cups , but it actually got worse. Anyone have any suggestions ?
Thanks
Mike

If its a fairly smooth parking lot you could try 5mm front, 5.5mm rear. if its a bit bumpy try 6mm front and 6.5mm rear.
