Default Looking for help MBX5r

Hi,

A freind of mine has a MBX5-R buggy and he has handling issues. Can anyone offer me any advice for him with regards to sorting out the car.

He uses the car on road at the moment, it wheres radial tyres and is set incredibly low to the ground, I know this is not what buggies are made for but hey it is his choice! lol

Okay at the moment he has no idea what shock or diff oils he is running, can anyone make suggestons for the best choices of weights in both front and rear diffs and shocks?

Some more information that is relevant is that he is running an RB S5 engine, 17t Gear, and Futaba 2.4ghz Radio, Ace DS dervo for the front end.

I would appreciate any help you guys might be able to offer as my area is not buggies.

Cheers for your hlp.

For my on road cars I like to run a stiff suspension ( heavy weight shock oil )and stiff springs. More high end speed bigger clutch bell, more off the line smaller clutch bell.
