Yeah I decided to try it out, only took me about 5 minutes to dremel it and bend the bottom supports.

Although I like it it's not a huge upgrade over the stock mount imo it's still worth trying.

It's good for if you run a lexan wing. It is more flexible and if you crash it will absorb some of the impact and keep your lexan wing in relatively decent shape. But if it takes a good amount of abuse you're going to have to get the heat gun out and straighten it out at the end of the day.

Default Clutch

I currently own a nb48 and just bought a lutz clutch for it and I'm on the verge of switching over to the mbx7r and was wondering will that clutch work for the mbx? On the site it lists mugen style or tekno style, but it is 34mm flywheel. Any insight on this?


Also where is the cheapest place to buy one of these kits?

It's a matter of preference. Metal shielded are fine especially if you run on astro they'll last a while compared to a dusty track.

The Lutz clutch will work, you'll probably need the mugen style bell though.

As far as kits, usually Tower is the cheapest but right now Amain or Absolute are probably the cheapest @ 549 plus the coupon codes
