yes it does, it has 5 more holes on truggy angle like most like to run. also has more camber link holes, one lower than stock and 4 more holes to run shorter camber link (these camber link holes are all i use)

After some extensive back to back testing with the m2c truggy tower with kyo blue and stock springs. On the clock the truggy positions are slower. The car feels easier to drive in low grip situations but across the board it is actually a slower can for lap speed.

If there was low grip you may benefit for a higher consistency over a 10-45min run, but in high grip the truggy tower is just not as good as the buggy positions.

Thanks to everyone for the help/tips etc, I look forward to trying this car soon as our season opener is Apr 7.....I am getting closer to my car being track ready, I have been freshening it up as it was a used car. It has a SNR rear truggy tower and Xtreme RC forward battery mount w/ Protek 2300mah li-po installed....Savox 1268/1267 servos. My engine is on the way to me now from Monty @ H.E.S.....I will be running a Fusion X3 with a Novarossi 2096ss/41029manifold, car also has a KHZ rear toe-block, fuel tank posts and engine mount.....I plan on starting with a regional driver's outdoor setup minus the truck tower/shock setup....diffs will be 7-7-5 for starters....JConcepts body and tires w/ AKA inserts, I am going to run the JC punnisher, waiting on Colton @ Kiefer Designs to hook it up, starting with blue and green compound JC subcultures and hybrids.....really looking forward to this gas season as I only ran indoor electric 1/10 2wd mod buggy last summer.....here is a pic of my progress so far....thanks again for all the answered pm's and setup's sent via email etc.

Yes, if you are running the mbx6, you will have to have the driveshaft that comes in the 6r.

First time at the track with the mugen buggy very loose in the rear. So I inclined the front and the rear to the bottom hole in. on towers. It was a lot better. Also, I turned down the radiopost servo. It made it a lot better driving wise. Going. Try the crimefigther m4 or m3 not sure in the next round.

Run your car for a liter or two, it will get better when the car is run in :-)

OK sir.


Well I was not the fastest tonight, but I stayed on my wheels in the 20 MIN points nights race tonight and Ended up 2nd. after being away for 9yr.

I been a Kyosho man for many many years. And never tried a mugen buggy. It has a lot of steering I must say I like this Buggy.

I also moved the wheel base back. Chad has 1mm front and 2 rear. I just changed that to 2 front and 1 rear. and Ran the Sweep Buggy Square Armor Blue with Blue foams. Man I wish I had a set of these in Silver = super soft.


Again I was not the fastest I just keep my wheels to the ground.

60% of a racing is Finishing the Race. LOL

ALSO, Tires Tires Tires helped a lot too.

Thanx all for the help..
