Only if you have issues with the originals parts, then the new ones should alleviate the issue. As for me, the front lower arm is key since I'm going to use the front ackerman hole.

A quick question: is it possible to use the XRAY clutchbell ( I like the larger bearings) and the Fiorini Vario clutch setup in the MBX6? I know that the fuel tank and the clutch bell are very close, so I figured it would be safer to ask.

I going to see if smooths out some steering. Current setup we're using will turn, alot. We need to smooth out the mid point steering. Its a bit too sensitive in the middle right now. Front hole will keep the inner and outer wheel turning radiuses closer to the same, not as much total toe out when turning.

Got all the new parts today (same as pics Tony posted) and the revised diff outdrives with the holes drilled and grooved. Plus the option parts AL center drive cups and AL drive shafts. They are lighter indeed!

How did you get a hold of the alu center drive cups and alu drive shafts? Mugen said they weren't available til January. I'm waiting to get a set of those upgrades.

I don't source from Mugen USA. Mugen supplied parts a week before Christmas in Japan.

Does the new radio box allow for more options in terms of battery packs? I heard the original was VERY tight.

Original box was a little tight, but 5 cell packs will fit. The new lid is 3mm taller according to Tony...I don't have one in my hands, but I would think 3mm would be plenty to fit just about any 5 cell flat pack out there....

I just noticed that Amain has the X6 on special. Does anyone know if they have the older or newer version of the kit?
