have too agree with scott in the shock placement. car rolls quicker the more you stand them up.
BTW, scott tried one of your crazy ideas and tested the stiffest of the new springs 7.5f/8.0r on my car and was kinda impressed. the car was not the bucking bronco I assumed it would be, but had to go to a 5 hole piston to get that. 6 hole was too much with the stiffies. and middle placement on the tower. leaned in made for a weird feel, car too flat. will have to try them out at the futaba race coming up. see you there bro...
and drag carlton along if you can so he can regale us with stories of california racing.

anyone know where i can reno savoya website jus wanted to see sum of his set-ups when he was running the mugen mbx6

Pretty hard to find now because hes not a team driver for mugen. Mugen did have Reno's corner with all his tips and sheets but it got tookin down. But above is his 2010 Euro champ set up.

thanks
thanks for the feedback. i will try the sway bars and a thicker diff set-up. i like the shocks in the layed down position. the last few amezcua setups are polar opposites of what traditional mugen setups have been.

Anyone have pics of how they run there fuel line. I want to stay in the legal 125cc range but i see some guys run it to the front body mount and some line RENO use to wrap it behind the engine and around the body post. I just run mine from tank, fuel filter, to engine but i was wondering will running it to front post really give me much more run time? Im not hurting for it but a lil more helps.

I know everyone says to get the new chassis and springs. Is it really worth it? Can someone tell me how they have helped? Just don't want to waste the $$ if it's not needed.

Springs definitely made an improvement in handling, haven't tried the new chassis. So, I would say that the spring set is worth the $.

So just ordered a jap spec mbx-6b, does anyone pick out the differences between a short and long chassis on the mugens?
Got about half a dozen setup sheets, which work perfectly around on different semi local tracks. Would there be a distinct change in setup between the short and long chassis....
Call me keen but its just something thats been toying on my mind
Thanks guys

I just went back thru this thread and maybe I'm missing it. What was the advantage of using bladders from other brands in the shocks? I've seen hot bodies, xray and Losi bladders all mentioned.
