Please let us know if you figured out the reason for the flooding as this is what happened to us the last time we where at Thunder Road.

Will the MBX7 towers fit with the MBX6R?

They will fit because the diff boxes are same. But the towers are different

Like what they said above. The towers will fit and mount to the bulkheads. The front shocks are 5mm shorter on the 7. And the front arms are slightly different.

I suppose it's possible to run the 7 front tower and shocks on the 6. Just not sure if the travel and droop will be identical nor if there will be any performance gain or loss as a result.

Have you ever actually built a DEX408 DNX408 or DNX408t? Or owned one?

My Nova P5 was fine.

I apologies if this is a repeat question but I see two completely different sets or ride heights for set up of the car. A lot of sheets say 23F 27R, but i have only seen a few with 29 to 31mm of ride height. would anyone be able to clarify why there is such a big difference? Type of track, driving skill, personal preference? My buggy was really loose in the rear this weekend and I think this is the reason why. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

The 7 has a different roll center in the rear also is a bit wider, so it transfers weight faster and makes the car more agressive. Also makes it more stable when driving hard into turns. We don't need to run high ride height un less the track is loose and blown out. The more roll you let the car have the more it will get edgie and make it harder to drive.
Hopes this helps you out

The rear is identical.

Ran the DNX for two months between switching from Agama to Mugen... and bent multiple suspension mounts. That really was the only downfall of the car IMO - if you could get the car to match your style of driving. The truggy was worse. You'd have to be on Cloud 9 not to acknowledge it as a common problem, or not reading any of the threads and seeing Durango bringing out HD mounts.

Depends on surface. For high traction I go more negative. Vice versa.
