I just bought a used MBX6 and finished installing everything last night. It came with the +5 chassis and 75/8.0 front and 86/8.5 rear springs. Does anyone have a setup guide they could post. I was told shock oil is Mugen 400 rear diffs setup at 5/7/2. He said ride height is already measures around 29 rear 28 front. Side question I use losi ride height gauge do you place tip in center off all four bolts on plate to measure.

Yes, it lets the motor spool up faster, if you get on a track with allot long straights go back to the 46 or 44 if it's really flat.

Three questions Joe:
1. How's the lateral balance. Would you recommend LiPo? LiFe? cells?
2. Is that a Tamiya pit towel I see in your build review?...WTF?
3. Did you drill the wing buttons? Can't tell what's up with them.

Looks awsome! Can't wait.

Donrod - do you recommend the 48 tooth spur for most medium sized US- big jump type tracks then?

Thanks

I recommend the Venom 2400mah Lipo. It fits in the radio box perrrrrfectly. I'm sure it will also fit the forward battery mount. I'm never looking to add steering to my vehicles so that is why I chose to put the battery in the back. As far as lateral balance goes, I'm glad you asked. I just ran out there and "strung" the car by the shock towers and found with an empty tank the car seems just a tiny bit heavier on the engine side. Nothing a couple ounces of lead wouldn't fix! I'll post up on the amount of lead I end up using asap!

Yes! LOL that is a TRF towel! I wish I could get some new ones! HAHA

The wing buttons are actually from Serpent! They are the trickest wing buttons I've ever seen! Blake has been running them on his HB cars for quite some time now... Serpent wing buttons:http://www.p1hobbies.com/serpent-mac...washers-2.html

thanks donrod 46/48 it is then....i dont really race on tracks with long straights...more tight and technical stuff.

guys, on the included setup sheet (std EU sheet) with the 6R it states reb0und stop at 108mm front...126mm rear...WTH does this mean? 100% rebound? ie shafts fully extended before screwing caps back on? jez...and the on some sheets i se ppl put in like 18mm or 15mm, which i gather from the manual is like ±50%...JEEZ mugen def has to do something about it's retarded sheets...no standard at all

That is length of shock at full droop i.e. top screw to bottom screw.

Sideshow Bob

OK, so what Rebound do most of you then run on the mugen shocks since it is not stated on the sheet? I know it is track dependant...so 50% odd should be fine right?
