Hey all you Mugen guys......

I'm going to be changing to a MBX6 for this year and just looking to hear what are some of the common broken items that I should keep handy(shouldn't be many...it's a Mugen after all) .....

There are no weak spots unless you hit something head on.Soo...front arms upper and lower and maybe a set of rear arms.Cvd shafts incase you bend one if you break in the front or rear. If you dont clean your car all the time then a set of inner wheel bearings is a good item to have in your tool box..And a gas tank is allways handy.
Also keep in mind that the Mugen team will be at all the races .We will be more than happy to help out with parts to keep the Mugen army at full force

I don't want to say how high it went but it was up there.

get yourself the King Headz extended motor mount. Will help the chassis from prematurely cracking.

I have the Tekno conversion so I have its chassis.

I was thinking of trying 3-5-2 for in the barn but maybe thats too thin? we are all about corner speed and rotating!!

still havent changed shock oil so its what ever it is when i got it.

Still like my old mbx5 it just works!!!!!
