This is.correct.. as with all cars a little squeeze with needle nose will free the right up!

Am considering some different cars and would like to know this...

what parts are compatible with mugen? a list would be cool

im more interested in the mugen radio tray, as only 1/4 of a turn is needed of the turnbuckle for it to be the right way...

Just got my Sworkz......building the shocks and seems like the o-rings are too small (.2mm narrower than mugen ones) they leak oil out and draw air in!
Anyone else had same issue? Think I'm just gonna use Mugen o-rings.

Here's my new build

The design and theory is solid. The problem with the Xray was the amount of chassis flex that the car had. When the chassis would flex, it would put immense amounts of stress on the pinion bearings in the diff housings, eventually causing one to blow. The Sworkz doesn't have even half the ammount of flex that the 808 did. The people who have been running the X system have noted a huge increase in accelleration and have retained the reliability of the regular style drivetrain. It shouldn't be a problem on this car at all.

Also of note, I ran an 808 for two years club racing 1-2 times a week. I only ever had one bearing related failure in my car....

Is it just me or does the tank on the sworkz vibrate ALOT?
Like ALOT ALOT... When the car is running and in fueling up, the tank becomes a vulcano, fuel everywhere.

I saw that the fueltank does not have any rubber-thingys, might that be the issue?
