Has anyone tried a lower ride height? US tracks just seem too bumpy with large jumps for such a low ride height (I run primarily at Revs).

I have tried running the 23 and 26 ride height and on some big jumps I bottomed out pretty hard and didn't wamt to go to a lot stiffer springs or oil. I have met in the middle and now run 26f and 29r and see,s to work good for your average tracks.

The best way to keep from flaming on your pits is to have your driver go wide open right after you shut the lid before setting the car down. It takes a little practice to get the timing right but it has always worked for us.

Harley here is the setup we were running with the BCE 3mm chassis, if you need any more help feel free to ask. Donnie

Mugen doesn't introduce new models/platforms as often as other companies. Roughly one every 4-5 years.
MBX-5 - 2003?
MBX-5 Prospec - 2006
MBX-6 - 2008
MBX-6R - 2011
Based on that trend, I wouldn't expect a MBX-7 until 2013...especially since the 6R was just released a few months ago.

Hey guys! What do you think of the idea to run an empty fuel filter(meaning that it is without the filter element itself, rendering it only a container for air) in the pressure line instead of an extra long pressure line? Do you think that the extra space in the filter will be the same as the extra space in a longer fuel line?
Sorry to change the topic all of a sudden, I am just wondering since I had some flame-outs after pit this year.

I crack my carb open just a tiny bit and hold it there during all my pit stops (basically, I go to a high idle) and right as my pit man starts to set the car down I go wide open to clear it out. Let go of the trigger as soon as the wheels hit the ground.

Terry, it might help a bit but the problem is a bit to do with the tank forcing fuel into the carb when filled right to the top and snapping the lid closed...I get a very rich almost flaming for 5 seconds out of the pits with my mbx6 when the motor's a bit low on compression and the idle gap is open a bit wide...doesn't flameout too often though.
with a fresher motor in it doesn't do it, so tuning, compression and the extra bit of pop to burn the extra fuel makes a lot of difference.
What motor and plug are you Terry?

The exact problem is that I manage to go through the straight with full throttle but when I lift it for the first corner the engine flames out.
