I ran and liked CityBlocks on my truggies, but have not run them on buggies. For the buggies I ran either Impacts or Lockups, depending on track conditions. Local 1/8 track gets sections of powder over hardpack, till you wear it in then it is loose and loamy.

Kind of cool….. so I opened the first bag to assemble diffs and one of the shims was damaged as if one side was sheared off. My first reaction was “ oh man, you gotta be kidding “ . I can’t use that inside a high traction differential. Thought about contacting Amain, but started researching Mugen Seiki and found that they have three sites, one in Japan, one in Germany, and one in the U.S. , turns out that the one in the U.S. is in Lake Forest California. About 5 minutes from my house . I go there and even though it’s not a retail site I’m given a whole bag of shims . Bumpy start but otherwise these diffs look great.

Brooooo.. you live down the block from Mugen Seiki and this is your first one?!? haha
Glad it worked out.

Puuuurrrrdy! Way cool that they hooked you up, even more cool that it was so close, I know where I would be dumpster diving!

Getting started on bag C , I dremeled the flashing off of the arms and other bits to ensure smooth action and manicured aesthetics.

I'm so childish, just can't help but snicker when you get to the D bag.

Nice of them to add this bag….not needed though.

I’m impressed with the quality so far. Here’s another glamour shot.

Coming along, and looks great!
I would love to build an Arrma from a kit, too bad they never offered it.
Actually I did build a Mojave from Jenny's parts, but its not the same as brand new in part bags with a detailed instruction manual.
