If they are 4mm then they are for the rear brace mount on top of the bulkhead.

2 part question, on the original mp9 was it the front or rear shocks that came with the 1.3 x 8 pistons, and were the ones in the kit white or black? and are there any marks on the pistons to tell what they are?>

When its turned the whole location seems to be more rearward.
Thanks
Taken from the Hudy setup manual:

STEERING ROD INNER MOUNTING POSITION
CHARACTERISTICS
Forward holes (sharper angle)
• Smoothens out steering response • Car reacts smoothly • Better suited to smooth flowing tracks with
high speed corners
Rearward holes (shallower angle)
• Quickens initial steering response • Car reacts faster to steering input • Better suited to small, tight tracks

I run the std ones on all 4 corners. I'm not sure when I'd run the narrower hexes, but I'd probably only do it in the rear. It's not something I usually use as a tuning aid.

Do you have your nitro rc racing license? Kidding bro, just head out to your local track and meet some of the people, ask some questions, or just show up on race day and jump right in. Just have some fun with it!

It's more caster than the stock MP9 caster blocks, i.e. the block is more laid back towards the rear of the car.

I don't know much about the early MP9 days, but according to the original MP9 manual, it says it came with 1.3x6 hole pistons, IF347-346.

If they are white, have 8 holes and the holes go straight through the pistons they are 8-1.3 pistons. That is the piston 95% of people like best.

Too short for the rear wing mount stay. That should be titanium according to the instructions. So this was placed in the bag by error....tiny flat head screws go underneath the the center diff bracket to hold the brake discs in.

Those are button head cap screws (BHCS) and looks like they're the M4x8mm screws that hold the rear torque rod mount to the top of the rear gearbox (step 4 in the manual). Flat head cap screws (FHCS) are used in areas with countersunk holes.

Default Rear Tower
I am debating on getting the Hard medium rear tower I have the older version with the 8 hole for the camber link. The new one has 10, and the setup sheet has the 8 hole one showing. Is there a noticeable tuning difference when using the ten hole vs eight hole? What do you guys think?

I nearly always use hole #7 (#8 on 10 hole tower) so is mute to me haha! However, I am sure there's going to be some track where that 10th hole will get used.
