i think it best if you send it to my house to check before running it. you may not get it back though as we want one !
BTW are you impressed with it so far and what engine?
is it so good my wife will leave me for not fulfilling my marital duties ?

Might get a MBX5 myself. heard that somebody bent a shck tower already. one of the reasons why i want to upgrade from my GS storm is cause it breaks things like shock towers...

When putting screws into plastic.. Make sure
1) You got the right screw
2) Your going in on the right thread. Wrong threadding has one of my wheels going wobbly and I cant seem to get it in right for the life of me.

Red is semi permanent! it works fine on large automotive fasteners (10MM or larger), but something with either a allen head or screw will not come out without a drill if you use red locktight. Use BLUE ONLY.

Uh, diffs are made of FREAKIN METAL! It's a MUGEN! The diffs are the actual gears, not the DIFF HOUSING! Big difference. You can use blue, but you will be taking it apart again and again...
I use red on a lot of the drivetrain parts of my MP, and it works great, and YES, it does come off.

I have locktightened LOTS of stuff with RED....some fasteners I was able to remove...and others I drilled out. I havent ever had something locktightened with blue that I had to DRILL to remove, or that came loose. There is such a thing as overkill, Like hunting rabbit with a 50cal. machinegun, and using RED on RC. Blue works fine and doesnt have to be drilled out - but you can find that out yourself if you dont think I am telling the truth.

Well to support both sides.. I agree that most uses demand only blue..
but there are some things like the CVD set screws that you dont want coming off (and the damn parts comes from CA so you lose a week of runtime) so why not just use red and say "now lets see you worm outta that!"
