MB suspension?
Hi
I have noticed that the suspension on my MB is not balanced, as the front is soft and bounces all over the place. While the rear is way to hard. Question is, if i remove the rear anti-roll bar it makes the suspension more balanced but will it work properly under power i.e. not squat. will it inprove the handling?
What can be done to improve the overall handling of the MB.
PS
Why does FG put plastic gears on models that have so muchpower?

RE: MB suspension?
are u talking about plastic spur gears?
you need one plastic i reckon, coz you need a sacrifice, if something happens, you want the cheap plastic gear to break - rather than damaging your diffs or something more expensive.

RE: MB suspension?
Unless you plan on racing on the flat remove the sway bar. It does nothing constructive. Change the shock oil (more like glue) to a lighter grade. I put 100 in the front and 150 in the rear.
