I'm sorry Integra, but I ran Losi and Mugen. The Mugen is more durable for me than the Losi. I have a lot of bend axle's with the Losi, the wingmount brakes easy on a bad landing and the front diffcase breaks easy from an impact on the shocktower. I also had the rear axle comming out of the center diff when going over huge jumps. I never broke an A arm tho.

I have broken 2 A arms on the Mugen. 1 Time I took a 20m long, 4m high jump at full speed and landed on the 1 front wheel. I was actually bashing it with a friend on a BMX track lol. The only time I bashed it... I guess every A arm would break when hitting such a big jump and land it totally wrong. The other A arm broke from the hitting a pile when my car went his own way after the reciever got water on it

You have to replace both to get the slop out but it will come back.

Does anyone use an Acendancy, Werks, or Losi 4 shoe clutch on their Mbx6? If so, what are you using for a motor mount (preferably a quick change one)?

O and Yes you can put a Losi Clunk in the Mugen Tank i did it and LOVE it that is one thing i wish Mugen would have done was put a Clunk in the tank like Losi did. So i put one out of an Old Losi Tank i had and its working GREAT.

Can you explain what you did and show pictures please of the tank mod?

I use the ascendancy clutch and the m2c quick change mounts, both are dialed.

Older 5 tank, but you get the idea.....I also use 5-6 bands now for extra security.






Can you please tell me what Mount you are using?

That seems like it's an interesting mod to the tank. What is this mod accomplishing? I am assuming it is not the clunk tank mod that has been discussed. I would be concerned about the fuel line going into the tank, and the seal it would provide. Even if you were to try and use some silicone, since the tubing is flexable I would think it would eventually leak.

assumptions based on the similar setup to losi
there i believe don't leak
but over time the tanks and line may need replacing as would losi tanks i guess
