From what I recall reading earlier in this thread, a lot of guys that ran the 3 really liked the improvements to the 4 when it came out. Prices on a regular 4 have come down lately, so you can probably pick up a new one at a pretty good price.

I guess it depends on what you expect from your racing. If you're happy with the Main you're running in, why worry about it? If you want to kick it up a notch, the 4 might have what you need to bump up. It's hard to say.

The 4 has a adjustable role center in the front over the 3 and you can adjust the belt tension. Those two things make it worth it if you ask me. Plus the 3 parts are getting hard to find.

Are you giving up the Mugen ! ! ! I meant to contact you to tell you that the 5mm rear shock tower that you made for me GUESS what I managed to break it this weekend at 301 having a hell-of-a-lot of fun. My main sucked because of poor drivers ettiquette on the stand but no matter what I do when I hit the asphalt at 301 I feel more comfortable than when at home.

The MTX4 is a very versatile car with a lot of aspects to it that must be tried and tested to see the results, I dont think you should dismiss it so quick. As far as someone stating about the MTX3 being better it is not by far, I must admit that I won the A main at the 1/8 Reginals in NERCAR the first time out with the MTX3 and was sold on MUGEN ever since. The 4 has so many adjustments that can accomadate so many skill levels. I have to be honest and say my racing game suffered this weekend and I still managed to have so much fun at the PRO SERIES that it didnt even matter...

What do the new arms and uprights give you over the old ones?

Also, what advantage does the new rear upper arm mount have over the old one?

Thanks

I am not sure if you realized that the slightest tap on anything and the pillow balls would come out of the upright. Well I did and I actually notified MUGEN of this problem the new revised upright dimension so far appear to be the same but the hole is smaller and will not allow the pillow ball to pop out. Until the new arms were released I was actually using the older MTX3 now hard to find front uprights. Since I had so many parts for the 3 I had quite a bit in stock but I have now recently picked up the new uprights and they are tough as hell.

This Sunday at 301 a driver blocked my view and I ran head on dead smack into the wall and not damage done to the upright at all. I will inspect it more but no damage to the upright that was noticeable, but the damage to the servo took me out of the 2nd spot in my main.......

200MM parma type-m or stratus 3.1

I lean towards the parma body for performance. Both are top notch though.

Yay I got my car upto 1700G now. I added 3racing universals in the rear. And 26G in weights. Now I need to add another set like that and im set. I heard 3racing universals are bad but it seems there pretty good , look a tad bit beefier and the pin seems thicker so theres less play in the diff cup. I like , I hope they fair well.

BTW has anyone heard of prather weights? There slim 13g weights. About 1inch long , 3-4mm thick. Looks like a wheel weight but just flat. If anyone knows where one can get these let me know.

I've tried them, and they only lasted 2 race meetings and one practise sessions. The on guy at the trap have a tool that allowed me to replace the pins with mugen pins. The mugen pins last way longer.
