Anyone driven both an MBX7 and this buggy? How do they compare?

For some reason I am super curious to try this car!!

I drove a modified mbx6r. It had a lot of the mbx7 modifications done. This car has more traction and turn in. With the new setup I have I feel it is comparable in bumps too. I'm still working on it though.

I have been running my BR-6 off and on for the past three months while I work on completing my medical program. I have been slowly working on a good outdoor setup. I am pretty much running Gene’s setup and I have been focusing on dialing in my shock setup. Overall, the Br-6 is a blast to drive. It has plenty of steering and traction is amazing. During a race I often hear my fellow racers complain about traction from other brands, but I feel I have too much traction and often need to make few adjustments to the buggy to have less traction. As I mentioned, Gene’s setup has been working great, the only difference is shock position. I am currently running,

Low traction:
Front upper tower position second hole from inner hole and out on the arm.
Rear upper tower position second hole from inner hole and out on the arm.

Med/High traction:
Out on both front and rear shock towers. Inner hole on arm for the rear and outer hole on from arm.

Piston/shock oil

VP 1.25 6 hole. Two holes drilled out to 1.4. Front shock oil 600 and rear 500.

Here’s a link to the AKA race series with my Br-6 second big race at CVRC. White front, orange body with blk wing and yellow rims (start @ 49 sec of the video). The Stiker EVO UF was awesome. My ride height was too high so it slowed me down around the corners but the buggy was really fun to drive. Buggy is definitely getting faster with a few changes here and there.

Congratulations and thanks for the great efforts!

Report from Manuel Trinko:

"Last Sunday we had a race in Jaidhof again, the hobbycup. On Saturday it rained – so there was no training. On Sunday we started three heats and I was on the 2nd place.

I was qualified in the Final- A-group. I was so exited . I fought all the time (25 minutes) with two adults. We only were separated 7 seconds! I led a whole over time. Then a mistake from me –I stuck in the pit lane - valuable seconds went off! Then I took over the one driver – and was second! I fought extremly – and I didn't give them a present!

Then it was the 3rd place for me."





In the Final-B-group two teamdrivers of us were 1st and 2nd place:

Raphael Traunfellner was winner and David Mosbacher was 2nd.

Hi!

Congratulations about the results! Great!
So, would you mind to share your setup sheet with us?
Than we can discuss our setup diferences and you cold help me and some one to get a better setup.

Thanks

I have a good selection of Intech parts. PM if interested.

Had another good weekend with the BR-6.I was able to tq and take the win at TCRC.I was the only driver to put in a 13 lap run.They ran the track dry and after a couple small changes I was able to better my fastest lap from the previous weekend by almost a second and overall qualifier by 12 seconds.The intech is a fast car and very easy to be consistent with.The car is getting very close to being perfect for my driving style.

Intech had a good showing yesterday in the state of WV. We are not western Virginia, we our our own state.....LOL Shoes are optional. Car was good but I had an off day or something. First engine flame out in years ! Placed 6th. Couldn't really ask for anything more out of the car. Rotation was excellent. Track was dry but really hard and baked on top. Reminded me of the 2008 Worlds. Burnt up every set of tires I had !

Best paint job award goes to Aaron Gillispie.

Great job Guys! Keep up the good work.

It is funny, outdoor season just started in most of the USA. But here in FL there is not any racing going on until the Fall because summer is here and it is hot and rains every day. Pretty much if I want to race in the next 3 months I need to drive 3 hours to the closest indoor track.

That's what we do all winter ,drive 3hrs to the closest indoor track.Even in the summer tcrc is an hour away.But the rewards are well worth it.
