Just wondering what you all are running which will allow enough room for all the electronics. I have the RCM kit if that makes a difference.

Thanks all

Hey Magman,
It's been a while, but I have been slowly getting my MBX6 into shape to run. I am like you I have the nitro with Mike's conversion. I have tried both the proline shift and bulldog, but to me there is no room on the sides. Even though everything will fit, I am concerned about air flow. So to me taking the Mugen Eco body and cutting a couple on millimeters off the rear has been the best option. I can't speak for the J Concept stuff as I haven't tried them. Hope this helps.

My thoughts exactly...the JC bodies are a bit rounder for lack of a better description so I am leaning towards these...not to mention the are extremely rugged.

This one is not the most eye catching, but I think it serves a great purpose..

I was actually eye balling this for my mbx5R but it might be worth taking a look at?

FTW Night Fox Mugen MBX6R

They put a 3mm spacer on the front body post to make it fit the eco
