Work, school and the baby take up all my time these days.

I have had no problem removing engines. I usually will leave the engine mount in place and remove the engine and pipe with just 5 screws..

Absolutely loving the car. Ran it hard for the first time today...I needed to break in a new motor. I made very small changes to the car through out the day and the car was responsive. Having first race tomorrow.
If anyone is out here on the east coast and want to get some great racing against some of the best.

Hi guys,
I'm intersted in feed back regarding dif oils.
I saw a post a while back and I'd like to hear form others too.
How many are running the 1000k weight in the front?
And what's the take on that.
At my local track I was running 300k and 80k in my 5 and was happy with that combination.
When I first set up my 6 I decided to run 500k and 80k and I'm not getting the balance I want, it has to much under steer in to the corner. And over steer coming out..
I haven't tried 1000k or 300k yet..
What are you guys finding..

As far as the diffs go I'm running stock setup. Car rotates very well on power without loosing any steering. I'm also running stock shocks and springs. I raised the front/upper hinge pin....so the set screw is pushing up on them. These changes are good for my track but the stock diff set up works well for me.

Well done Robert.
It looks like we have a good car..
I'd be interested in the setup you ran in span...
Chop chop....

I watched the video on efra's web sit and Robert was talking about the effect of body position.
Is they any ideas out there about how to move it froward or back without having to fit a new body and cut new holes?

Phil2112

iTrader: (1)

Not real sure... you would have to cut a new body due to wheels. Unless you made really wide spots for your wheels.

Hopefully I'll start break in of my Nova Keep On this weekend, does the car/chassis itself take long to break in/settle?

Phil2112

iTrader: (1)

No, not really. The springs may take a little bit to settle but the kit is pretty solid. Like any other new kit you wanna double check the screws once and while.
I did have a little bit of rubbing with the battery wire. I ended up running it behind the fuel tank instead of snaking it through the tank and the servo. My battery wire was a little short. If it wasn't I would still run it behind the tank.

Car is awesome though...

Well fellas...i think mugen has got it right on this one...kit went together like a glove...electronics was a little tricky but i got it...first day on the track the car was very sure...not gear problems..diffs didnt leak..an the breaks were solid....1 mill in the front diff is too much on a technical track...pushed like a dog..dropped down to 200k an boom turnin...rear end was at 50k -40k mix wit vrs body..car was planted...wit a few extra roll bars an different shocks..guys look out!!!! Im back on the mugen band wagon

Anyone try any new setups?
-Diff
-shock oil
-spring
-anything....?

bmain57

This past weekend at the GLC I tried the yellow spring ( softer ) raised the upper arms up in the front, put 700wt in all four shocks and ran 50,000 in the rear and 300,000 in the front diff.....probably should had put 500,000 in the front.
-4 degree of camber in the rear with -2 degrees of rear toe.

Car was good until the rear diff leaked all the fluid out, ( my fault for not changing the gasket )
