interesting to note that holeshots mounted are 11G per corner lighter than a crime fighter or bowtie. all that extra rubber!
Mine is 3220g with holeshots and 3260g with Subcultures.

hi there
mine is about 3290 gramms with no fuel in it
. i have titan screws, alloy drive train parts from mugen on it.
it can be lighter if i put lighter brake discs and the titan linkage on it.
but there is no need.

i owned a lot of cars ( agama, 808, losi..)
the mugen is the car, which always runs. no problem with wearing out parts. and with this awesome diff set ups ( 20 20 10/overdrive), (15 15 10/overdrive) you always have tons of steering and grip in all kinds of surfaces.

the diff set ups are a little bit of all. one of the most important things at the mbx6 is the rebound stop and right height. the mbx6 dont like much rebound on the front.

my old agama has more steering and jumps better but with the mugen i am more constant on the track and this makes better times.

generally I have found with the new springs is to go up a step in oil (50cts or so) compared to the old springs.

has anyone tried the over/under/sideways gearing with the longer chassis? outside tracks of course.

I tried 10/7/5 on a bumpy loose track, but I had not enough turn in. But I can't say if it was because the diffs were too thick or something else. I usually don't race on dirt so I'm don't have much time to test setups.
