on or off power push? ... personally i run 7-7-3 and it is hooked up and turns on a dime. if you need off power steering run 5-7-3 IMHO. the thick fluids dont give much turning and makes it push like no other. ive tried it and i dont understand why some people keep saying thicker but i guess everyone drives differently. thickest ive liked was 10-7-3 but it was pretty much hold it wide open the whole track and my run time suffered.

5,7,3 for me as well. I tried 7,7,5 and 7,10,5 over the weekend and had tons of push. I'll be going back to 5,7,3. It rotates much quicker for me.

This is also on the +5 chassis

Default Clutch Bearings

Does anyone know if the factory Mugen clutch bearings come from the factory degreased?

+1 ALL the kit bearings last way longer than any aftermarket ones I buy.

About to pull the trigger on a Mugen coming from Kyosho. Is there anything special I need to do or just race it out of the box? How do I know I have the most current model, seems I have seen this one for some time? Is there a new version about to come out?
Thanks

No new model or anything.
If you do a lot of low speed steering, then move the front upper a arms all the forward with the spacers.

You want a setup sheet?

All kits are updated now and have been, you can get the new springs and chassis but not really needed. Also as far as upgrades, just aluminum uper arm holder, and if wanted the aluminum rear toe block.

Can someone please confirm which front upper arm position is on the M spec. I have one M spec set up sheet thats saying middle hole and another thats saying top

Also what is the affect of raising / lowering the front upper arms?

Also just noticed one is indicating top of shocks in the 2nd hole from the top on the towers, other is saying middle hole. WTF???

Track is large and bumpy hard packed clay if it helps to suggest which one may be better.

I believe laying the shocks over more is better for rougher tracks???? so i might go with that sheet which is outer hole on the arms and middle on the tower???

Put arms on top low and pushed forward, and for shocks start in 3rd/middle hole.
