I didn't even use the stock pillow balls in the build ... I used steel ones... where can I find set ups online. .. I just keep reading all these people saying it turns like crazy...is it turning or is the rear sliding around? ??...I like traction

My eco turns not slides. Your setup to me sounds like you are trying to lock the rear end and have more rear traction. That can also hurt steering into a corner if you make the rear too "lazy". As for tires, I am coming to your track for the futaba challenge and I will have m3 holeshots and m3 blockades.

Those are very popular tires at our track..I'm trying some used m3 revolvers today... I'm just afraid if I shorten up the camber links the rear end is going to get way loose and I'd rather steer through a turn than try to manage a slide

I just recently bought my MBX7t eco through amain, I like it. Completely stock setup and I haven't had any issues with breaking pillowballs / a arms. I've run almost 10 packs through it, So just over an hour of run time (70 minutes). My track doesn't have huge jumps but most of the require a lot of power to make it over them, Kind of like mount thornhills (2014 nats track) jump right after the scoring loop. I can't wait to run it more, Tons of steering with the stock setup.

Ride height and tires did make a noticeable difference

So I'm trying to sell my extra eco kit so I can get a nitro kit but looks like that's not going to happen. I playing with the idea of buying the nitro stuff to convert the eco to nitro. Are there any of the x6t parts that are different from the x7t?

You guys are running that high in the back? I'm running 37-40 and have been running it for quite a while. What will an extra 6mm in the rear do?

Bottom out less off big jumps but mostly make the steering more aggressive/ sensitive by keeping more weight on the front.

I put those ride heights on my 6t when the 7t setup manual was posted and it's awesome. I have the 7t built now and this weekend will be first time out. I can't see how it's going to be much better than the 6t with those ride heights.
