Oh sorry mate, i thought i read that you had a very unstable rear end. What i suggested should aid in general rear end grip.

Also a good suggestion, is what has been mentioned, and that is to shorten the wheel base, OR drop the rear hub on the outer hinge pin. I found this drastically improved rear stability (Which is what i think youre after)

Happy racing

That's probably because they are racing on a track with medium to high grip. You should try 0 anti squat with 3° of toe in and a lot of droop. 110mm or more in the front and 130mm or more in the rear. Long camberlinks, short wheelbase.

The car push now on the front but it's definitevely more stable on the rear.

My diff setup is 7-5-2 and is better as 10-10-5 for me.

Now my issue is, on-power, the rear tend to pass on the front.

I mean off power, the car is perfectly confortable, but on power, the rear start to drift.

I had before an MP9, i found the perfect balance with it to push hard and be fast.

But now with the MBX6, i feel like i run a 2WD ...

What i can do to fix that ?

overdrive?

just less kick-up in the rear and front shocks 100 heavier than rear. my mbx6 eu is absolutely planted on power and perfect off-power(slightly loose)
diffs 7/7/3
less kick-up means more weight transfer to rear which ends in more on-power grip !

A guy from Europe suggested that I make this part, what do you guys think? I just prototype it.

Personally i have never found lighter diff oil in the rear to help with rear traction,,, keep in mind the mugen has a much smaller center diff cup than the MP9 for example i would typicly run 7 on loose conditions and 10 in med to high bite with the mugen and i run 4 in the MP9. and have just as much launch as 7 or 10 in the mugen.

What chassis are you running? the 5mm is loose in the rear and requires much less antisquat than the stock or the BCE X3 chasis, also a much lighter spring. If you want rear traction let me know what chassis you have and i will post a hooked up setup.

You'll probably have issues with brake linkages at least I had such problems with similar top plate - it requires certain linkage angles so they wont rub on them.
Here it is (was done by Dave Crompton from UK)

If you'll make it assymetric on linkage side - probably with some cutout for them so they won't rub, it should work just fine. Just try to test fit it with servo in.
