Questions??

How easy is it to drill a hole through the Mugen titanium turnbuckles and does doing so significantly compromise their strength? Want to use these in the upper arms, but it looks like the plastic has to be cut away in order to get a turnbuckle wrench in there for adjustment, which I'd like to avoid.

Also, does anyone here have any experience with the Mugen titanium pivot balls? I run on a track with wooden boards and don't make a habit of bouncing my car off those boards, but am wondering how these hold up.

Questions?? Where to measure the 6 and 7 millimeters below the machine

Where to measure the 6 and 7 millimeters below the machine?
I abitually put my 6 and 7 mm. near the front axle precisely under the screw of the save servo, and in rear under the axis of the exchange, is right?

With a good sharp bit it drills very easy. Hold them in a vise and if you have a drill press it's even easier. I drill a 1.2mm hole and use a 90 deg. miniature pick tool to adjust. The turnbuckle will bend before it breaks where the hole is drilled.
The ti balls hold up very well. I've bent one since 1998...

Below is what i found from japanese website, i will try to do the google translation, but the correct meaning will be a little weird.

昨年末からずっと品切れ中だったMRX5ですが仕様変更を終え遂に発売決定となりました☆

気になる仕様変更した部分は☆のとおりです!!
☆ フロントアンチロールバーをワイヤータイプに仕様変更しました。この変更により、フロントロワーアーム、フ ロントバルクヘッド、フロントアッパーバルクヘッドL/R なども仕様変更しました。フロントアンチロールバーはφ2.3 mmがキット標準で付属します。

☆ サイドベルトテンショナーはプレートの形状変更により、テンショナーベアリング2ヶ所でベルトのテンション を調整します。

☆ クラッチシステムは H2707タイプに変わり、低速域からの加速がスムーズになります。(1st.ギヤ:16T/2nd.:ギヤ20T)

☆ メインシャーシはステアリングとトラクションに優れたハイトラクションシャーシ(ムゲンロゴ彫刻)となりま す。

☆ フロントボディマウントプレートの形状変更により、ボディポストの取り付け穴が追加されました 。

☆ リヤロワーアームマウントA&Bは強化されました。

◆ フロントとリヤのバルクヘッドはアルミ削り出しとなり、ベルト交換などのメンテ作業が容易に行 えます。

◆ フロントアップライトは、3種類のアップライトアッパープレート(オプション)を付け替えることにより、キ ングピンアングルの変更ができます。

◆ ステアリングとスロットルのサーボは、RCモジュールに取り付けられ、レシーバーもRCモジュールのケース に収まります。

◆ ブレーキディスクは、リヤソリッドアクスルに取り付けられていているので、制動は直接リヤドライブシャフト に掛かります。

◆ フロントアッパーアームサスシャフトの取り付け位置は上下2ヶ所、リヤサスシャフトは2種類あるブッシュの 付け替えでジオメトリーの変更ができます。

◆ ステアリングサーボセイバーアームの取り付け位置と、フロントアップライトアームの穴位置を変更することで 、アッカーマンの変更ができます。

◆ ミドルシャフトは、アルミ削り出しとなりプーリーを直接取り付けられて、軽量となりました。

◆ 2スピードシャフトは、φ8mm の中空シャフトで 2スピードユニットが装着されます。(1st.ギヤ:49T/2nd.ギヤ:46T)

◆ リヤボディマウントは、リヤグリップを向上させるハードタイプが付属します。

◆ ウエイトは、オプション設定で4種類あり、重量、バランスなどを調整することができます。

只今4月下旬発売を目標に製作中みたいですが、気になる画像や販売価格がわかり次第随時発表し ていきます
