Odd that the rear pin blocks seem to be wider with shorter arms. They reported on neo buggy a few months ago that team drivers were using blocks that moved the pin's closer to the diff and used an even wider truggy like hub.
With differant geomitry, wheight distribution, steering akerman, and stiffer susp. with alumn. towers I'd say this will be a totally differant ride. Oh yea. thank god for the clunk tank if it is one.

I fail to see how him TOTALLY agreeing with you equates to being a tool.

As Neo said, they will have more details tomorrow and we will be able to comment on it after the official release. I can assure you there are more than just a few new parts and the car is quite worthy of the new name.

I wonder if the rear pivots/arms will fit on an MBX6?

Hello Mr pettit. Have you and Barry allready Recieved one of these kit's? Ran it? Thoughts? I find myself wondering if he was racing it at the pit. The last sat night lights race. We seen blistering lap times we had never seen before that night. Could it have been under are noses and didn't even know it?

Like Barry said, we will be able to comment more after the official press release soon. mugen should have a lot more detail as well. I will say it is definitely an improvement over the 6R (even though the 6R has had great results in 2012). Mugen Japan has always done a perfect job when releasing new platforms, it's been great so far.

Ive actually seen this car race here at my local track (B Pettit) 2-3 weekends, and I can tell you all this car is the truth. Flies very nice and level and seems much more stable then the 6. You will all love this ride!
