Hey Tony on your sight it says your out of updated upper front arms. When are you expecting more and also I replaced my right front upper and lower arms with the originals but have updated on the left do you think i should also change to the older style on the left it doesn't seem to cause any problems with setup or handling characteristics and not even that noticeable when you look at them thanks John.

I've got the reviews of the 6 in Xtreme RC Cars as well as RC driver, i avoid RCCA but I don't immagine that their review would be much different.
Also, I have a question: who makes the narrowest short header? This will be going on a Novarossi P5X and also likely a PLUS 4, and I understand that both produce great bottom end power. That having been said, a lot of the headers are too "wide" for the narrow sideguards of the 6, so I'm wondering if anyone makes a header narrower than 80mm?

In so much as I don't fully grasp all the intricacies of what the C-shape vs square shape offer performance wise I'll have to say yes, regardless of shape. I tell myself that I'll start by finding a number of headers that'll fit and then I can widdle-down the choice from there.

Use the Werks Conical headers. It goes back further and comes in closer on the inside on the MBX6. I have it strapped to a 367 and 9853 pipe with room to spare on front. They are about 74mm wide and clears the rear suspension. Tucks in very nicely and allows longer pipes to fit that otherwise would not.
Is this the one you mean?

If you still have the original front lower arm on one side, hit the sway bar mount area with a Dremel so that the edges are beveled to match the new arms. If your turnbuckle is not hitting the lower arm, then you don't need the updated lower front arm. On the rear lower arms, hit the sway bar area as well and then put a small dimple under the out drive so the arm doesn't hit it at full up travel.
Best regards,

Love the new MBX6 shirts designed by Robbie Collins at Mugen USA!
I bought the shirts in both Large and X-Large for myself as well as a Mugen black L/XL FlexFit hat. I'm sure they sell the shirts in smaller and larger sizes. The shirts are the very thick 100% cotton Gildan shirts. I added the shirts I got to my website in case someone wanted to order one but they are out of stock. I'm placing another Mugen order tomorrow so if anyone wants a shirt, email me and I can add it to my order. I'm not planning on stocking many of these shirts.
Here are pictures:

well raced the 6 for the first time today, rear end seems very loose here is my set-up on the new version.
track is indoor clay kind of slick but smooth for the most part some tight turns.
diffs are mugen 5-5-5- started with 5-5-2 but changed it to 5-5-5 seemed to help but still very loose. 3 degree rear toe with the 1 degree anti-squat on the toe plate. rear hub in the top hole, short wheelbase. camber link in middle hole on shock tower and in the rear hub. losi 25 wt shock oil front and rear wing in high position. ride height 29 up front 29.5 in the rear stock shock springs, stock sway bars.
comming from a RC8 this car is very ass end loose.
I like the car but I have to baby it around the turns to keep it in control. I am not a drift driver I liek my car to stick.
any help would be great.
Thanks,
Ryan
