I don't understand the easy access diff craze. Our cars take 6 screws and 2 set screws for the front and rear diff. And while you have the hinge pin holders off you can check that those are free quickly also. Now the center diff is more of a pain. But I would be happy with no change to the gear box layouts

I agree. Our front and tears are WAY easier to deal with compared to losi where you have to remove the entire thing because it sits down in the chassis. Now for the center I would love a split diff mount where it could be removed straight out of the top!


Losi style filter? Um. Everyone already runs the losi filter.....

Shock standoffs? It already has shock standoffs. What do you want l? Further?

Updated shocks....our shocks are great. I'd like a slightly larger spring though that wouldn't run so much.

Fuel line clips? You don't have them? Or do you want them tank mounted? Why not just shoe goo them like everyone else? Let's the owners position them the way they want. I like this.

Steel standoffs like the mbx5 had, the alloy ones wearout way too quick, or some kind of boot to keep the dust out?
yes split centre diff mount, have nylock bolts like the braces and wing mount so you can't strip the screws out.
And a decent size batterybox that will fit a 2400 lipo, wound be nice to have all the wires and balance plug tucked away.

I just like having dual filter elements. Plus drake, Cole, chandler, they all run it. I use the 3.0 housing on the mbx7r elbow but Cole just uses the whole 3.0 setup.

Get the fast race shop battery box.. I use the mbx6 center diff mount on my sons car.. Parts are still available. Got the idea from Drew-Mo' a couple years ago. You need the top plate,bushing set and diff mounts

A shell I recently painted up for a local SoCal Mugen racer.
