On the MTX-3 what is the best way to get the full throw left on right of the steering. A racing buddy of mine place a second tie rod ball hole in front of the factory stock hole on the streering knockle. He clames this ad streering. What I had my v1rr evo I tried it but un trued tire on a lack of drive skill made any difference hard to notice. If any one can add a line or two about this self hop-up add it, Thanks

why don't u try something else easier, one at a time to see the effect...such as :
1. toe out
2. caster
3. softer front stabiliser bar
4. less rear bar stiffness
5. ride height
6. softer tyre shore...
7. shock fluid.... just my opinion...

1. toe out = less forward speed. I think I try adding so more.
2. caster = is it more off thottle streering if the arms are back/more on thottle streering if the arms are pushed forward? I away get mixed up.
3. softer front stabiliser bar = more front end roll,Right
4. less rear bar stiffness = maybe I try the updated kaw.. blade setup
5. ride height = I'm run 4 in the Fr 5 in the RR
6. softer tyre shore = I run 40 or 37 in the FR and 37 or 35 in the RR
7. shock fluid = I'm running 60wt in all 4 corners, I thinking about trying 60FR/50 or 40RR
2. caster = is it more off thottle streering if the arms are back/more on thottle streering if the arms are pushed forward? I away get mixed up.
3. softer front stabiliser bar = more front end roll,Right
4. less rear bar stiffness = maybe I try the updated kaw.. blade setup
5. ride height = I'm run 4 in the Fr 5 in the RR

I just got an MTX3 from a friend i race with, I usually run electric and the settings that are on the car seem a little extreem compaired to what i use for electric. So
I run on a medium tightness, medium traction asphalt track, what kind of camber and toe settings would be about right for this car. Any help would be great. By the way the car has a front one way.

sorry, but i think i mistaken about the rear :- it should be stiffer rear bar...
and as for tyre shore i see that u r using combo of harder front and softer rear...
that would give you less steering = understeer..i' usually run same shore all round...anyway this is my setup regarding the above :
1. toe out - 1 > 1.5 deg...with 1>1.5 deg camber
2. caster all the way back with 1 piece thinnest "washer"
3. front sway bar flat
4. stiffer rear sway bar
5. ride height 44 fr , 5 rr
6. also rear toe in 2 > 2.5 deg...with 3>4 deg camber....

front solid
I'm trying to find the part number to make the front diff a solid axle or has anyone used a solid axle from anyother cars that would fit the mtx3 thanks

Kawahara does make this aluminum piece (K781)
that replaces the gears insde the front or rear diff and therefore makes it solid.
I just put mine together after having it for years but never used it.
Do you have a setup for a front spool? I might have to use mine at the LRP Masters in two weeks.
Thanks,
Stefan
