Mugen just won the Euros warmup with Robert Battle. Three Mugens in the finale. Simon Willetts 4th and Daniel Reckward 5th.

Sorry, you can not. Kit is made only for Europe...

An European online shop is a possibility, or just get the parts you need with it.

I am building my EU right now :-)

Just use 2 thins for each servo and it will be perfect.

i have seen it done and tried it either way. the alternate gearing is not a requirement merely a preference i think.

Thanks dude. Was thinking about trying reno's setup. I have the same problem every weekend. The buggy is just right when the track is loose but soon as a good groove forms it goes all to hell. Waayyy too twitchy on corner exit. If i am not perfect with the throttle is will spin out or push. Its my setup, not the buggy dont get me wrong on that.

Ya, you look at the savoya setup and are like what the hell? But there is some sense to the insanity. With the "Spectre" drive your merely trading speed for safety, for some, the latter can bring better overall outcomes.

Shorter rear link may help your problem. Just keep it middle or high on the tower. Short and low no worky. Higher diff oil in the back too.

Johnathan - Try Mitch at M2C. He may be able to help you out with pistons.

Enjoy your kit!

I builded my EU2011 kit a month ago and raced it 2 weeks ago. The car was good but a little nervous in the corners. I was racing on astroturf with AKA crossbrace and I think the soft compound was a little too soft with 30°C outside. I'm a student so I can't buy all the tires I want

I took the 1st place in the hobby class. And finished 14th overal from about 50 drivers.
Considering this was the 2nd time I race nitro and the 1 time with my new mbx6 (with just practice on saterday) I was pretty happy with the result. I raced 2 races at the end of the last season and now I'm bitten by the racing bug

Here are a few pictures that I took while I was building my EU2011 kit: https://picasaweb.google.com/1041122...genMbx6EU2011# (the standard toe/anti squat blocks come also with the kit and the stock springs too) It's basically a standaard Mugen kit where they took out the short chassis and added the long chassis, a set of silver springs, servo horn and rear metal toe block.

Hi.

How do you guys adjust your rebound in shocks? And how to set 100% rebound in mugen's shocks ? I can't do it in mugen but in kyosho or asso shocks it's very simple to me. I tried to rebuild my shocks in a few ways but no results. All the time rebound is close to 0%.


regards
