Hello all, I'm a newb to this site but not to R/C. Have a question about transmissions. Is there anyone who knows if the mtx3/4 gear housings will fit a mrx3? If not does anyone know where I can find the .8 module (fine tooth) gears for the mrx3.
any and all help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,

You can replace with mrx4 spur gears and parts :
1st and 2nd spur gears, 1st gear one way housing, 2nd gear housing.

Hi guys
If I dont want to run the front sway bar, do i just leave off the entire swaybar blade system incl mounts, leaving the shafts that hold the front lower arms in place exposed behind the bumper?
Also have a problem with the collet, it wont actually fit on my OSTG motor. Are there any collets available for this motor or do I just install the flywheel without it.
Cheers

Simply remove the two blades and you are good to go.
I don't use front stabiliser too.

Keep the mounts just take out the metal blades--the mounts are used for up/down stops.

Hi Guys
Thanks for the info on the sway bars. Next question is how do I adjust front droop? Is it the grub screws that sit above the front sway bar mounts? Do I screw them into the mounts?

you can get the R cup joints or the original one way cup joints and just take your one way assembly from the mtx3 to a friend with a decent drill, and make the holes on the one way, that's what we did will all the mtx3 on my track, there are about 8 still running

yes,the two screws that are on top of the bulk head , take the front bumper off and you will see the two screws.

i was thinking about doing this but if i wanted to use a one way your screwed

Cheers Smoke. You can always throw 100000 weight into the front diff which will basically give you a spool effect with a little more give.

Hey guys, It seems alot of you running the MTX-3 are looking to run a spool or a front Diff instead of the front one way. Could someone please explain the pros and cons of doing this? I have always run a front one way.

If you want to use brakes dont use a front one way, I cant understand why they come out with a front on way. One ways are excellent in 540 racing where you dont need to use brakes and you can roll into the corners. I heard a spool is good for high speed motors, not sure why sorry. I use a gear diff with 100000 weight so it gives me a similiar effect to spool with more give when needed for the corners so there isnt so much strain on the car. Would love to hear the real differences though lol
