I switched up from a Losi 2.0 buggy, I was a die hard Losi fan for my 1/8 stuff. Last year I just wanted to "try something new" and am I ever glad I did. I remember saying the first time I drove my 7R "I feel like I could put down my radio and the car would drive itself". I was really that much easier to drive. I know the 3.0 is different from the 2.0, but not by much. The Losi was edgy and loose, the Mugen could round the apex with ease and not push like a dump truck, and had way more rear grip than the Losi. I literally went from consistently qualifying in the C main to qualifying top of the B and in most cases the A main at my local track. Yes, for me the car is that good!
The Mugen has been spot on, now if I can just dial it back a little my results even though better than the TLR already, would be fantastic.

Ive been running the Sworks front uni, works fine.
I have been reading the Mugen Seiki tuning guide and read how any new drivetrain parts like unis, drivecups, new pins and I guess cvds need an hours running to get better traction.
Does anyone know how that exactly works?..do they need a little friction and wear to bind slightly?..it's something ive been reading about for years but never really understood it.
I'll be interested to read your replies on the this.

Just go down to your local tyre shop and get a handfull over tyre weights. I havent been able to find the mugen ones here in Australia but have been running the trye shop weights for a while now. You can stack them directly over the holes in the chassis so effectivly the same thing.

I had the chance to test the 1.4mm Springs Yesterday and the result is not as what I expected. I expected the springs will be to be too light compared to the 1.6mms according my finding on the Spring Gauge.
Actually the 1.4mm Springs are very very good!! Especially on a bumpy track I guess. My home track is a traditional loamy bumpy dusty track and these springs seems to give "more" overall traction as well as much better bump handling!!
I would suggest You try these springs starting with the suggested rate Front with 7.5 and Rear with 8.5.

My track is allways very bumpy and dusty, so I think the 1,4 Springs are worth to try.
