New Trucks in the mail. Hate to replace my 6tr for how good it's been but looking forward to how much this truck is improved!

As much as I wanted the mbx7t... I'm just not gonna get it. I'm just gonna focus on buggy this year since that's expensive enough.

That is dependent on the engine from what I understand.

I think he means does the corner of the engine have to be shaved?

Some engines are already cut out. My reds r5t te2 came with that corner already notched.

The tank pull is the same as the buggy, a little bit too short maybe but accessible through the front window. The actual purpose from Mugen is using a tank pistol from above but then a larger piece of the body should be taken out. As I am using a tank bottle through the side window I chose to keep the hole smaller.

It is a little bit fuzzy to open up the tank but when the tank pull was longer there is a chance the tank is pulled open when your truggy rolls over or lands on the roof.

Possibly the tank pull from DE Racing e.g. would be better, but it works fine this way. My pit buddies didn't run into troubles when pitting for fuel.

The 6tr body would fit, on the 7t the engine is more forward and the rear body posts are a bit different positioned, other than that should go on, just recently I wa checking if I could run my 6tr body till my 7t body gets painted.

From my sponsor www.rc-speedhouse.com
But it is in Belgium so doubt it will be helpful.

About the body, the bodyposts are a perfect fit, but you will have to move the hole for the engine forward for about a half inch. Also from the rear part you have to cut some parts off.
