Hey Busta,

What I've done mate is just removed the aligning pegs and just align it by eye, I also have markings on top of the box to help me line each of them up. Now that I have the MBX6T, I have set the aligning pegs on the front and my OCM buggy will still fit as well. Its a little bit a buggering about but once you get the gist of it, its no problem and I can start either very quickly. You going mugen or Losi buggy mate??

Hey Shane

Dave and Ralfy use the above method as the truggy and buggy are different but you get use to it pretty quick

Dont know if the TT box you have is like the 1/10TT box I have but if the chassis sits on the top of the box instead of the plunger at back then these work great on any flat top box.

last year i ran rc8 and rc8t on a ofna truggy box. i set the pegs so there were in a position to work on both truggy and buggy then all i had to do was move the two plates wider for truggy and shorter for buggy i set the plates for truggy then i drilled the top of the starter box and installed screws with the finish washers for buggy so when i slid the plates closer the screws stop the plates at the exact spot needed. notice the screws that stop the plates when i slide them inward so at max plate width set for truggy slide to screws set to buggy. hope this helps lol

For me it's just easier to have 2 boxes.
If you do take the guides off and eyeball it, make sure your pitman is comfortable with doing that as well. Can be a real pain if you have to run off the driver stand if your car's engine dies.

I recently pitted for someone who uses just one box for truggy and buggy, and he just eyeballs the position. Only problem was that I never even saw how he did it before the race. Half way through the race he flamed out, and believe me, when you're frantically trying to get a car started it's REALLY difficult when there's no guides to line the car up. It even took the guy who's car it was a couple of attempts to line it up properly.
