I just order my first 6r u.s spec. but I like the Kyosho springs. Will it fit the Mugens for the front and rear using stock towers.

Thanks

Steven

Thanks for the quick reply. So I'm guessing the 70mm for the fronts and 84mm for the rears?

Yes sir, most of mugens are 86 rear and 75 front. I used orange big bore 84mm rears before on my car. Worked good I just didn't keep them on. Fronts I never tried but I have seen people use them. The 70mm fronts I think IMO may be a little to short but u can always crank down collets for your ride heigth.

Thanks for the tip on endpoints.. I always thought mugen didn't have enough steering,but now I'm sure I will be turning it down..
Best tip I've had for this car by far..
Cheers mate

I agree. It's one of those things we do during setup and before raceday, but forget to mention. If you take your time setting up the endpoints and the alignment of the servo saver and tie rods you will have such an easier time racing. It's not easy to put into words all the little things.

no, you just need to move the rear mounting hole slightly forward

Ive just rung the RMV importer for the UK and he wont have stock for 3-4 weeks, and i think that will be quick for them.

I talked to Dani this morning and they are discontinued. I was hoping one of the shops would have some on the shelf. Thanks for checking though.

Default ride height?

sorry for the dumb question but i am trying to understand how to measure the ride height on my mbx6. When you measure from the bottom of the chassi do you then half to go back to the shock collars to make sure they are
even and if so why dont we just measure the distance on the shocks. I am trying to achieve 31mm front and 30mm back. On the factory set sheets it allways shows but i see nobodys uses this method.

hope i made sence and again sorry for the dumb question but any help would be great.

thanks
john
