Hi Motorman007,

Do you mean i can use everything in this set even the orings(http://www.amainhobbies.com/product_...aintenance-Set )? So the shock body and shaft of the x7 is the same diameter from that of HB?

I have been running the CSi Bladders on my mbx 6. They worked great. I just purchased the MBX7 and this was the first thing i bought for the car.

Nope just the bladders :/ kinda sucks but they are way better then stock bladders.

use the Losi low friction/ JQ spacer trick for less shaft friction.

Change your stock orings/spacer to

https://www.amainhobbies.com/advance...74%09&x=0&y=12

https://www.amainhobbies.com/advance...-B-037&x=6&y=5

you will need 2 of the JQ packs as you need 4 of the 1.5mm plastic spacers

go to page 22

http://www.mugenseiki.co.jp/mugen/do...nual_e2001.pdf

These ORINGS are thinner i believe.

Team Losi Racing Low Friction Shock Shaft O-Rings (8)
[TLR5074]

so you need the JQ

Spacer to make up the different in space
1.5mm plastic spacers

JQ Products Shock Bushing Set (4) [JQP-B-037]

and at the end of the shocks you used the stock mugen plastic

E0545A



SO IT SHOULD LOOK LIKE THIS

LOSI ORING Low Friction Shock Shaft O-Rings

then JQ SPACER small guide bushings

then LOSI ORING Low Friction Shock Shaft O-Rings

then Mugen Plastic E0545A

Let me know if that is clear enough
