Time for a very condensed review. Car is 100% well built and I hate the underdrive. I'm dead serious, it lacks consistent grip, the only thing it manages better than my Kanai 2 is being nimble. For the record, there was a ishima rave racing my mbx6 and it was much better than mine, seemed much easier to drive and held a corner miles better.
I'm using the basic mbx6 setup and can't get enough side bite and forward bite.

And your tires are good for that track?

They were working very well 2 weeks earlier, it's hard packed clay-ish with fine dust on top. Tires are sweep square armors red compound I think. The weather is bad ATM but I'll try a set of DLD Hat Trick tires like the ishima was using. BTW the ishima front tires were bald on the center, it was just 3 rows of pins on both sides .
I'm not giving up though. Thanks for helping me.

Just got back from the PNB (well yesterday). Ran my 6 in 1/8 sportsman. Worked really well, didn't finish 3rd qual because fuel line got pinched in tank lid. Qual'd 1st in C-main, finished 6th - was running 1st or 2nd for most of it until I had to come in for fuel. Son did a good job fueling me up but I hosed the lap after it (+20 seconds). Just couldn't catch back up.

I took some nasty tumbles off the big jump and flat landed the kicker way more than I should have. Didn't break a thing, only had one side of front sway bar come out of collar. This is one tough car.

My friend's son was racing a 7 and broke 5 tanks.

Sounds like you had a fun weekend MunchMunch!

I noticed you live in Greenville, do you race anywhere locally? I'm a race noob trying to get back into the hobby..... picked up an old used MBX6 and am in the process of setting it up. Been looking around for tracks in the area (which there are none in my tree-hugging neck of the woods), was wondering if you ever race in Easley or maybe someplace else?

happy - actually we race in Easley (there are a bunch of people that come down from Acheville way) - also a new track is opening this weekend S &B RC Speedway (check it out on Facebook) it is going to be a great track.

Don't worry, everyone is friendly with the noobs .

Excellent, thanks very much for the info! It's good to hear y'all go easy on the noobs haha

Looking forward to meeting everyone out there, I'll probably try out both places. That S&B Raceway does look awesome too! Intimidating for someone with practically no skills like myself, buy hey we all have to start somewhere right.

Okay sorry for side tracking the thread, I'll shut up so we can get back to talking about the mbx6 again..

Good news, yesterday I changed shock oils to 600 cps front and 550 cps rear and checked front pills. They were in up position. I didn't have the complete set so I put them in down position. Drove today and yay! Does 100 % better, finally I can be aggressive on throttle and grip the inside of any corner. Lands like a cat too. Thanks all!

On average, how many times can change a driveline pins before you need
to replace the driveline?

How long does the press fit last? If you don't do anything stupid.

Happy to report that this past Sunday my car behaved very well and 5 drivers asked if they could do some laps with my car. Everyone had a blast, thing is unreal! Setup is basic setup with these changes:
K light blue rear spring,600cps front and 550cps rear and sworkz gold front and rear ARBs. Still using the underdrive.
Very willing to turn, doesn't get upset unless you flick the rear end violently, is responsive and agile bordering on nervous for those that are not accustomed. Only minor thing I saw was bump steer on compression, lot's of it. Any pointers to get rid of it?

You may add two millimeters of washers under the rack (ackerman) on each side.
