yes, stock shock oil is #600, i think 60Wt does work similar.

Hello,

First, say no no to all those Al. Pulleys, and belts shall be with you for quite some time.

If you have plain stock chassis, you may likely encounter the problem on the Front belt. Later, if your long mid belt rubs against the manifold, that'll be next.

For the head screws, say bye bye to those old Novarossi flat head, and get yourself a whachama call it, hex or whatever. I'm not good at this mechanical terms on screws.

For the Shock oil, personally, I assume that 600 is 60, 500 is 50 and so on. People, please correct me.

Plain stock chassis has a problem with the belts???? Please advise...my MTX3 kit arriving this week.

I have the MTX-2 w/ Kawahara chassis, and there is a groove for the MTX-2 long frong belt. So, a friend of mine made a groove on my MTX-3, as well. This way, I can rule out the chance of having the belt slap the chassis. Don't know if anyone else does the same.

Hi, Data:

Believe or not, I finally test the MR12. I really like the bottom end. So far, I do not think so fast as the S3. Anyway, may be after your adjustment, will be a lot better.

Thanks a lot.
