Does anyone know if Mugen MBX6-T bodies fit the XT8? I am looking at these two:

The MBX6-T has higher body mounts like the XT8, right?

EDIT:
Never mind http://www.rctech.net/forum/nitro-of...8-o9-spec.html

The JC punsher works great with the lowered Mugen rear body mounts. I just got one a couple days ago and trimmed it on the lines and it fit right up. No extra fitting needed. The bulldog works but needs to be cut weird in the back to clear the shock tower. A buddy of mine has the buldog on his XT8 and I diodnt really care for the fit of it.

Here is a picture of the mugen mounts on my xray for whoever it was that asked for a picture.

Showing the position of the extra holes.

The active diffs work, but to me are for very specific situations. I have them but dont use them very often. 90% of the time I much prefer running the 41T overdrive gear on the front diff and the slipperential in the middle.

The 41T gear really makes the truggy turn in like crazy and accelerate straight out of the corners. Really like it alot in most situations. Makes my truggy feel like driving a buggy.

You can use the active 41T gear on the stock diff? and it helps turning in the corner?

Any other setup tips that your willing to share?
