Really?..maybe the big dogs are supposed to be quiet so the current car still sells.

You'll know when a new car is only a few months away when Amain drops the price $100 or more. I've watched it happen with many cars over the years.

It happens occasionally. I think it may be related to a loose screw where the brace mounts to the chassis. I've got quite a few half diff cases...

Where are you getting that from rotor? We have not gotten any word from mugen on a new kit. I think new parts are being tested but nothing drastic.. Truhe asked me for a weird bearing size last week in Vegas(6x16). It was something in his drive train for sure.. I really don't care, if a new car was offered to the team guys before the worlds, I would not drive it. Too risky, I'm building a new 7r for the worlds.. Mugen is very good at keeping secrets. Adam has been testing a lot in Vegas, and it's not anything new! He is the only one using that wing mount.

Drake told me at the Mugen Challenge that there were new parts coming but no new car... This year.

What parts does the 7r really need though? Once you get the center unis you're pretty much set, and if you want to get spend crazy you can get the alum hubs and cf towers. Most people already run the 4 shoe or an aftermarket clutch. Wing mount? Maybe revised arms like the truggy? That's all I can really think of.

The 7r is great out of the box. The center universals are a nice upgrade because it's less rolling resistance and one less set screw to back out. I also run 6 x 1.3mm shocks...

Great car out of the box. Proven car. Built like a brick crap house. No need to spend $$ on placebo upgrades.

Default Diff housing

I need to replace my center diff housing so I was wondering if the housing themselves are different? I know the front and rears are the same. The center housing looks the same cept for the metal spur.

Ha anyone played around with the under driven rear end? What sort of feel did it give you?

To me on med to low bite tracks I noticed more rear grip under power, car seemed to gain more off power steering too

If it's high bite the car felt too bound up on throttle

So I've been running the Mugen E-buggy for over a year now and I recently just started running nitro as well with a 7r. My Ebuggy is dialed. Super easy to drive, tons of grip, etc. The nitro buggy on the other hand seems very "busy". The harder I drive it the better it is but that's not my driving style, I'm more of a smooth driver. So I guess my question is can I get the nitro buggy to feel like the E-buggy? Currently running Adam's Base setup on the nitro buggy. Any input is appreciated 👍
