My point is NOT that the Mugen oils are "better" than other brands. Silicone oil is silicone oil. What I'm saying is that if the Mugen bottle says it's 450cst, then at 75 degrees F, it's 450cst....

That chart has been around ever since I've been in the hobby. I would take it with a grain of salt. I have a viscometer at work and have tested a bunch of shock oils. I test them all at 75F so I'm...

Front lower arms. LOTS of them! :lol: Also steering rod ends and one set of upper arms. I'd probably also have a spare spur gear handy. The plastic spurs hold up well but if the mesh gets sloppy they...

I would stick with what you've got. The Mugen is as good as any other kit out there. If it won't turn, there is something wrong in the setup. Don't get me wrong, there are other good kits out there....

Nitro or electric? If you like to work on the car more than you like to drive it, Nitro is your class. If on the other hand your first love is driving, the answer is electric all the way.

Charcoal starter fluid (naphtha) works. I used to clean the diff parts in that, works like a charm. Now I just break the diff down, wipe the parts and diff cup with a paper towel and then reassemble.
