We looked at doing that but the inserts on the 6 push in from the outside and the 7 push in from the inside so the recesses are on different sides, even the holes are different sizes so you can't just turn the front 2 holder around, I always liked the 6 system but the 7 is so much better in ease of diff removal and don't flog out (get slop) like the 6 inserts do.

Does anybody know if the 7 body will fit on the 6 ok ?

Yes it does, at least the MBX7 body on the MBX6 (mine isn't a R). Cut the tail of the 7 body a little more past the rear body post and that's it.

I have done the change over to captured hinge pins from the 7T on my MBX6R and they are Identical. Now just that much easier to work on. The front B block dosent have the 2 3mm screws that hold it to the chassis. I use the M2C B-block instead of the mugen. I also used the same setup on one of my X7's to run the X6 rear arms captured as well. (dollarhobbyz) sells everything you need in one part #.

are these the parts you are talking about?

You would also need the hinge pin mounts below also. They have been out for quite some time. You might be able to find the same kits on eBay or when dollar restocks truggy parts when the X7TR comes out. I still run my MBX6R from time to time and love how it drives.

To get some insight, was it Mugen that offered the Carbon Side Guards, and if so what is the Part Number

Nope, it was user Rpm1968 that offered them. Quick google search and mbx6 manual doesn't return anything Mugen made for the 6, I remember there was for the 5R.

Does anyone know if the mbx7 tank fits the x6?

Okay... So, I'm sure I'm asking a question that's been asked a hundred times over. But, I don't feel like going through a thousand pages to find it. I'm new to 1/8 scale and just bought a Mugen MBX6. Are most of the parts backwards compatible with the MBX7, our no? And, if some super nice guy could give me maybe a detailed answer, that would be great.

From what I remember from the X7 first days people were getting the 6 tank on the 7. To drill a new hole is expected but confirm that on the start of the X7 thread and not the X7R thread.
Drivetrain and suspension parts if you change a bunch of them together as they are relying on new parts to work. Steering parts/chassis are a no-no as the steering has the pivots closer together amongst other small changes. The upgrade I can recommend is the 7's ring and pinion gears as the standard 6 parts aren't free rolling other than that the car is top notch.
