how much do you guys preload the servo saver spring?

It feels like the manual setting is way to soft?

6 mm is my preload, europe tracks.

I crank it down as much as I can by hand and then maybe more just depends on if I can turn the wheels by hand with the power on the car.

I just tried to set the preload at max (where the threads stops)

and still i can move the wheels quite easy when the power is on.

normal or not?

you need the silver spring, black is too soft

putte_Rolf

The silver one is stock on mbx7.

so yes i have the silver one

What size is the spacer under the brake link? I have one on mine that was purchased from mitch at pnb. But now I dont run the spacer under it and seems to be fine without it.

I never measured it, but it's the one that comes with it. You can run it with out it but it won't be quite as smooth, I just prefer to run it bc it doesn't rub on the rear brake link puller

Thanks Jon. That was great help. So the spacer comes included with the arm? Any change in hardware required?

yes the spacer is included. the top screw is longer but that is included also.

Hi, Just interested to know if anyone has played around with adding weights to the front of the MBX7 to get the balance spot on at 50/50 front to rear?
As they come out they are pretty much rear heavy.

If anyone has done it, did it handle better that was or dose it handle better being rear heavy?

Cheers.

I have them on fr and rr. I think the car turns better with them. It keeps my rear planted as well.

I just added 7 grams to each front hub to try out this weekend. If I like the results I'm going to look at a more permanent solution... ie M2c Brass weights or The mugen heavy pivot balls.

I have a buddy that added front and rear weights to his MBX6R and loves them.
