Ok, the bushing that is located in the front rear is, with 1deg of antisquat block, down=1deg as, middle=2deg as, up=3deg as, when using a 0 deg block in the rear subtract 1 from each position.
Front upper arm bushing is changing roll center. moving up from center will decrease roll center, this means the camber change will decrease on uptravel and increase on downtravel. moving down from center will increase roll center, so camberchange will increase on uptravel and decrease on downtravel. This is the same as moving the camberlink location up or down in the back.
The spacing on the upper arm is caster. When upper arm is all the way forward= least amount of caster, when the upper arm is all the way backward= most amount of caster. If the upper arm moved fore/aft when you turn, then you could call it "active caster". caster = kingpin inclination of steering knuckle when viewed from the side.
Not sure what you mean by "kick up". changing the pin angle of the lower arm creates anti-dive in the front and anti-squat in the rear. Increasing the angle of the pin increases anti -dive/squat. Since the mugen is a pillow ball design, adding anti-dive does not change caster unlike every other front suspension design on the market.
If your not clear after reading the hudy setup manual (good tool), mabye try some automotive engineering books or google words like caster, roll center, anti-dive/squat, toe, etc. Hope this helps.

All good except the A/S figures are correct when using a "0" block, you add one degree if using the -1 blocks. The way it's expressed numerically is backwards but the -1 blocks move the rear of the hinge pin down, not up. That adds anti squat.

bushing down = 0 deg as
bushing center = 1 deg as
bushing up = 2 deg as
when you have a 1 block in the back:
bushing down = 1 deg as
bushing center = 2 deg as
bushing up = 3 deg as
This is basically the same statement I made earlier, just easier to under stand If your not that good at simple math.

Hello!
What would be a good receiver pack for mugen? There's any Lifepo pack in the market that fit in mbx6?
Thanks!

Uhmm.. Interesting, what run time you are getting with those batteries?
The problem is that I didn't find these batteries to buy in US.
From mushroom will take to long to arrive here...
