thats not my car with the mugen blade but i did fit it up before heading to the track and found out that the mugen ball ends on the blades are bigger than the xray joints and i didn't have time to retrofit before leaving so i left that project for this week .
i plan on adding some adjustable links as well for tweak adjustments
nice work on the blades

here are pix of the mugen hard foam bumper and the mugen 136b knuckles
i agree 100% about the part interchangability if another brand part works to keep you racing do it.
it's all about finishing the race

That's a very good point RMD, I did a quick check and from pivot to pivot, its about 30mm for both the NT1 and the MTX4's original uprights (actually its the same with the 720 too). I think the MTX4 type-B is the same, only difference is the lowered steering link/arm.

to the best that i could measure it was the same using the 136 knuckle and using the 136b the only difference is the steering arm being in a lower position like sow said.

The best way to balance the car would be to use 4 scales with each wheel centered over 1 scale. With the car on the scales you would then add weight to the heavy side to make the left & right side of each end perfectly match while maintaining the front/rear weight differential.
Although scales are needed to make perfect adjustments I have found the simple balance pins to be much faster, easier and in practice just as good; providing you can place your ballast close to the front/rear center line.
With a Nitro car it is important to check balance both with dry and full tanks since most cars don't have their fuel load perfectly centered. After you figure the ballast required for both dry and full you should split the difference giving you the closest possible balance throughout each stint.
