Maybe a Murnan Sirio could be your ticket for a scary ride.

I put more than 40 litres of fuel thru my car (still have the 3mm stock chassis) and haven't stripped a 2nd gear.
What I'm doing for not stripping? Easy: adjust the shoes very close to the endbell (the gap on my second gear is about 15/100 of a milimeter - measured with a feeler gauge). And of course, a correct meshing (remove the 1st gear just to mesh the 2nd and then reinstall the 1st gear spur).

the gap on my two speed shoes are to the book and if you tune your motor right it works fine,for me anyways.

If you are considering an OS TZ.12 you may want to look at a STS D3R, i run one of these and eat the TZ down the straight, and it's getting quicker as i run more fuel through it. It is not a competition motor like a JP, EVO3, or Nova, but plenty good enough for our club level racing, and heaps cheaper than the OS.

I run the rubber side belt and the front and back belts are the stock kit ones. If I run the rubber belts on the front and rear I only get about 20 minutes of running on them before they break. I get Days and days out of the rubber side belt. I have not had any issues with the side belt coming off. I use the 25t side gear.

versions???
i was just about to confirm my order with RCmart.com, when i noticed that they note (version 1.1) on the MTX4 kit they sell.
I've placed my order on hold, until i find out whether or not there are later versions to the MTX4.
Can anyone shed some light on this.
Thanks in advance.

I know Mugen does running upgrades/improvements to their parts but I've never seen them give the kits a version number.
