when they first put them out the publicaiton I read said they provided more clearance for the big bores. That part is no longer in the publication. If I remember right the cured cups were popping off with the shaved brace so they suggested not to use them inside.

How would these change any geometry? They are just aluminum spring cups. Added weight, but they take more effort to put on/take off so they are less likely to eject in a big wreck.

Because they don't have the same size as the B4. The B4 was like 5mm and the SC and T are either flat or 9mm. Three different sizes in the kit.

Different size cups only used for shorter or longer springs available ...

Believe they are designed to work best on extra high traction conditions .

Im planning on getting one. You can run MM or RM at most of the tracks I race at so im sure I can put it to use. Something new to play with.

I guess I won't need it. I have been on the fence on getting g the b4.2 or the losi22 2.0 but I have not seen much info on people switching or if the losi is better now. So I might need to stick with the one I know a little about, the b4.2

I think this MM stuff is all a simple phase. I watched a guy same track same conditions go qualifier one with a x60 cubed, and round 2 with a b4.2 (indoor high bite, we run slicks and tire sauce) and he TQ'ed with the standard b4.2.

If you can drive a MM car then more power to you, I personally cannot, and I hate the way they jump. I also feel they are more twitchy, and that is why I cannot drive them.

These were actually designed for the V2 FT non BB shocks so that you could run BB springs.

Brand new car. I only heard it when I had the motor in and I was breaking in the diff on my bench.
