I see a bunch of Ti parts out there. (Dogbones and main shaft... expensive, quite expensive). The Carlsen front outdrives are nice, but their machining quality, leaves a little to desire (seen a set of those and the machining wasn't as nice should be leaving sharp edges).
I prefeer a set of hollow steel main and front shafts (cheaper). Seems that Carlsen has some of those.

Look at this page and you'll see how was the MRX-4. The third photo shows the rear shocks. Compare them with the 4-R.

the new rear shock bodies are longer than the original, i know this cause i have both kits.
i believe they were made this way to accomodate the new rear shock tower as well.
its nice cause now you dont have to compress the spring by bringing the collar 3/4 of the way down the shock body.
the new "R" kit kicks ass.
i am very new to the racing scene, and still learning everytime i get out, but i have talked to many drivers which have switched from serpent or kyosho and said the mugen is a dream to drive......
i call it a rush!
i have also noticed that the changes made in the "R" kit are very minor, which is a good thing, it has been a solid car right from the start, so why change.
one thing, i would like to see however, is more aluminum, standard or option.
keep up the good work mugen seiki.
forever a customer.

i think that would be too small, i tend to race on larger tracks where taller gearing is needed. but then again, maybe i should try it out.my club is in hamilton, ontario, but i try to make it to cincy or toledo whenever i can.
usually i am running the 17,20 tooth combo

mad-killah, if you look closely, you will notice that the new ones(MRX4R) are longer.
