Absolutely IMO, the highest quality components and parts I have seen, If you get a chance, build one and you will see.

Other cars are just as fast, but this thing is so sweet

Yes, if you go down in front and rear diff oil it will give you less on power steering, but the car will have a lot more off power steering. I really liked 7/5/3 on the old WC personally, and I will definitely try it when I get the mp9.

Default Debut with TQ & 2nd overall

Not a bad start for TEBO with the MP9! TQ and second to TRUHE by 1.35 seconds. Just wait till he gets some time on the buggy, lookout 1/8 buggy world.

My engine (Included in price of kit by retailers error) turned up today, and WOW, what a surprise, It's the Sirio Evo 4 kanai STI tuned version, and they also threw in a pipe, the Sirio 2056 buggy pipe. How is this combo, and what plugs should I run, I'm in a humid climate, with quite warm temps running 25% nitro. Cheers

I'm getting more wheel time with the buggy, and liking it more and more! No regrets on the price.

Thanks K9ine,

Here is a pic of my St-RR with my old MP777WC (yeah I know its meant to be the MP9 thread so I will try to keep to the topic) Last week I got 9th at the NZ Nationals with my ST-RR.



Now, back to the MP9 topic, I was obviously way off with my MP9 diff setup which probably explains the poor handling. I was running 6k Frt 5K Cen & 4k Rr under the advise of another racer who had been testing his MP9 for a month and assured my this was the shizzle setup.
Since it felt like a 2wd car under acceleration I lowered the center diff to 3000 during the meeting which helped a bit but I didnt change the other diffs thinking that if I lowered them I would get even more steering (which I definately didnt need). I still have a lot to learn about setups and I also may need to change my driving style as I think I am a little to conservative for the MP9.

Most definitly the wrong diff setup.. i tried a high rear diff, and it was as you said.. to twitchy to steering input.. i went down to 3k in the rear. currently 5/5/3.. and i am considering going down again.
