constantly stripping gears with everything (gear mesh, shaft side play, etc...) set-up properly sounds like a one way problem. Clean the one way and re-lube it.

do any of you run lipo batteries in ure 1/8 scales.do you guys recomend it or should i just run nimh 5 cell packs?thanx in advance

Check your 2 speed shaft bearings. If they go you will strip gears because your mesh will vary.

I run lipos in my xr8 but in the mrx4r i don't because the battery that is designed for it has plenty of runtime with good servos. I would say a lipo would be better if they don't scale your car because it will be lighter and is under weight with a ni-mh battery. In any kind of racecar lighter is faster!

Side to side play should is adjusted by the pulley that runs the side belt. Lipo,s are light and so are Mugens. I run a ni-mih and a brass tray to keep the wieght low.

I've been running the MRT...f'ing fast! Makes runtime, stays cool (maybe too cool sometimes) and pulls in every part of the track.

Don't know about the JP. Not sure how much it costs, but if its anything like what their prices used to be, then forget it.

You should try JP. JPs engine has lots of power.

I've been running JP engines for some time.R03 ceramic R01 stock and maybe if all goes well,R9 as well
I just finished running in my XENON speedline from RB(abc version)Apparently,they run like hell.i'll just have to c for myself.i hope it goes as well as my C5,maybe better

Where r all my Mugen guys? The MRX4 R is a great car!!!! There has 2 b something 2 talk about?

Hi there, yesterday I won 3rd place in B final 1/8 Indonesian National Series with my MRX4-R.

I remove the front stabiliser and the car turn very easy ( I'm talking about mid cornering and corner exit on full throttle ).

What body were you running? I've had problems with a mid corner push as well. I was using a Parma and with advise from Pooh I'm trying the Serpent/Central body. Never thought about removing the sway bar.

asw7576

I'm using Serpent body.... don't know the real name.

I heard the new 1/8 protoform and kawahara are the best in business..... I haven't buy it yet.

I would test these for mid cornering push :
(1). Put the caster clips all the way front ( the caster is more lay down )
(2). Lay down front shocks to lowest setting ( more lay down )
(3). Change front spring to grey ( softer than white ).

We're racing! And when a car like the MRX4R works this well, every time you go out, then there's nothing to discuss.

Except maybe how well you did. Good job asw7576!

What's good with you, Pooh?
