I'm thinking about trying this car but I was just wondering will there be a ProSpec coming out soon?

Got a mbx7 coming, it's used, but lightly. We race on a sand clay mix ( loamy pretty much) mainly loose track conditions. I'm the type of racer that let's off the throttle early to let it coast around the corners then get on the throttle when I straighten up. I know this car has tons of steering, I was thinking 7/5/3 35/25. Getting the rest dialed in is always a craps shoot with me. I have taken a long break from buggy, just sold all my stuff to force myself to only run buggy, I wanna give it all of next season no matter how long it will take. For me with buggy it has always been setup, not driving.

has anyone had issues with the centre spur gear rubbing the throttle/brake servo under chassis flex? Noticed last night that I had a 1-2mm rutt in my brand new futaba servo... Could it be time for a new chassis to minimise flex?

You should try 7-7-5 in the diffs, 42.5 front 40 rear losi shock oils.

Could you center diff mount be loose and your pulling the diff towards the servo under brake load? I had a buddy that that happened on his AE 8.2 this weekend and it eventually destroyed his clutch bell.

you are right on this, Chad Bradley and many others have said to calm steering move it forward. one of the reasons why M2C made their akerman bar and same with Mugen with their new bar. personally, i didnt like it forward, it made it to smooth/numb to me but a lot of others like it forward because its less twitchy.

Cf may be broken. I had this happen when I used the al M2C battery holder. Broke two cf servo trays with it and went back to the stock one with no problems.

What clutch system are all you guys using? Heard nothing but good things about the m2c and buku but are they really that much better?

Depends on what your looking for. .

I love my Buku Clutch, I am on 10 months of racing 2 or 3 times a month and they are still going strong. I run it on my Truggy and Buggy.

Lots of people love the M2C clutch as well. I think if you are getting a new clutch get one that you feel will best suit you and your driving skills.

Everytime someone posts up which clutch is better you'll get all the people come out of the woodwork saying why this clutch is better than this clutch and etc.....

The only way you will ever know which one is better, is to try them.

Xmod shock springs make the best brake pad springs!
