I just recently got a 7r and would like to know if a losi starter box stock would work for the Mugen without modification ?

You'd more than likely have to adjust the guide posts, but other than that I don't see why it wouldn't work. Most 1/8 offroad bump boxes are very similar.

hi guys how often do you replace clutch shoes and clutch springs as i have just replaced my as i noticed one would no retract. they looked worn out and were used for 5-6 months on astroturf . i used answer - rc ones and replaced them with the kit metal ones.

5-6 Months on astro turf thats damn good for clutch shoes IMHO

Make sure the shoes have the small washer under them,or they will hang up..thats only for the aluminum shoes

You may want to translate the 5-6 months to gallons . Someone that races once a month can go 5 months on shoes. Someone who runs every weekend for 5 months will go through a few sets.

You need some 3x12.8mm pins Mugen part#C0270. You can also get the 3x13.8mm for the front/rear cvd's/unis and shave them down 1mm on one end with a dremel.

Hey guys, got my first nitro car last week and have a question. How often do you change the clutch bell bearings? I only ran it two nights and one is starting to sound rough already. Is that pretty normal?

I get about one hour on mine,some guys get a lot more..depends on the clutch.. I notice the stock mugen clutch gets less.. Some 4 shoe clutches last a lot longer.. Also i use $1 bearings, some use better bearings and get a lot more time on them..

I run the el cheapo mr105 bearings for about 1 maybe 1.5 quarts at most then toss them. Even the cheap bearings are pretty dependable as long as you properly shim your clutch bell, but no sense in pushing your luck. A lot of people rave about the TKO radial thrust bearings. Those can go multiple gallons before needing to be changed out but I have yet to try them. I have some sitting in my toolbox but haven't gotten around to them yet.

So pretty much I should just get a sleeve of the cheap bearings and make sure they are fresh before a race day?

Yes, #1 cause of dnf's... Im gonna see if the new mugen 4 shoe clutch last longer..even if you got the best bearings,still good practice to inspect your clutch.. Get a pack of shims too, very important like the others said

Thanks bash was able to get them ordered in time to get them for this weekend.

Has anyone heard any rumors about a new car yet? I think Mugen usually debuts a new car right around the time of the worlds dont they? Im still running a mbx7 so Im ready for a new ride lol

hi guys when can you tell if your wheel hub bearings are worn out as my front left has some play. the car has had just over 1 and a half gallons of fuel so far. how long do these bearing usually last. i don't race i just bash on a astro track.
