I have replaced the Mbx7 springs with the 7R springs and it's a lot better. I was just trying to get some feedback on different springs. I think I found the answer to my question. Thanks
Thicker shock oil, get rid of the taper hole pistons.

None. Flat 5 hole pistons and different springs are what I recommend. But they are not "ne essary" get the regular stuff front arms. Shock shafts and ends. But none of that stuff is breaking just because.

Since they revised the arms the only time I have broken anything was by getting tapped as I took off from a BIG jump & going wheel 1st into the landing ramp. It broke the arm, shock shaft, the wheel, & bent the drive shaft. That's the kind of impact it takes to break them now .

You need to have special motor mounts made in order for it to work I know this because that's what I'm doing. As for bell I run the proteck but nothing wrong with losi bell.

Are the stock pistons or the 1,2 x8 pistons better for bumpy tracks ?

I just bought a 7r. I went with the Novarossi KEEP OFF 21-4 motor. Looking for advice on a pipe for it.

Also for servos. I like Airtronics but it doesn't look like they have a suitable servo for the buggy?

Thanks in advance, Joe.

servos get KO PROPO RESPONSE FOR STEERING AND POWER FOR throttle. The best out there.
On the motor if its stock just stick with the 9901 pipe, 41029 header? i think thats the header.
