27.5wt= 350
30wt= 375ish
32.5wt= 400
35wt= 450

Default M2C

They make the M2C stuff for the front of the car too. PROBLEM SOLVED.
I run the M2C all the way around and the M2C 4 shoe clutch. Couldn't be happier.

well I finally got the car put together. Had a little hard time with the throttle and brake linkage. But got it figured out. Also set my travel points and for steering I am down to about 65 % for throttle and brake about 55-60% strange. Anyways here are some pics.

nice mate, make u use washers on the front screws from the front tower to diff to spread the weight.

it will crack around there. most run the alum tower.
I think this is one area of weakness in the mugen. my 808 never had a break in this section

You should be fine with the stock 1.0 springs and Aluminum Shoes. Your idle may be set too high. Check your settings on your linkage and make sure the idle gap is correct while the radio is on.

I am going to order a M spec buggy tomorrow. Is there anything else I need to get while I am at it? I have heard that some pipes don't fit. Can anyone clear this up for me and if this is the case what Header do I need to get? I will be running a 2013 pipe that came with my Orion MTE and also running the same pipe with a WERKS B5 and B6 on this buggy. Any and all help would be greatly appreciated.
