To be honest I have seen the Yokomo's run, they are decent but I think the Mugen has an edge. I know a kid who runs the Yokomo and he can really kick ass. Now after getting my Mugen right I can decently hold him off and save some face.
MUGEN RULEZ!!!

Naw these were straight rtr's with weekend newbe's. Kinna like Freshmen I'm a Sophmore in R/C now! 
I Knew better then to run the lot but still afraid of the Seniors....... The Track I wanted to Run Has club Racing on Sunday anyways. I'll run at crystal park during the week till I get the hang of a track no more lots for my mugen.
I'll probably go play with TopGun777 out at KZ after that... Might be able to handle the power by then.

My RC10GT is Quite famillar with Lightpost ........ That one still hurts. Hope the venom Failsafe works as well as the onboard Temp. The lot I was running is about 100m X 40m of no obstructions. Like I said nice Lot. I did notice and I'm not sure if it was from my poor tuning but it did take awhile to hit 2nd gear. Which adj for the 2 sp?Loosen the set screws on the springs?

What I do is to tighten the clutch screws till they are firm, not tight. Then loosen about 5-5.5 turns. Then you can fine tune from there. Each time turn a 1/4 turn. The shift point will also be affected by the way you tune your engine.

So please ... read carefully what I said, just my mere opinion and what I feel and think and its not the Blibical truth. Sheeesh ...

AAA the AA are too big to fit in the stock spot under the tank.I just built my RX packs and that is the only size small enough in dia to stack.

My advice on adjusting the 2 speed clutch, DON'T BE LAZY!!! Take the whole thing out of the housing, its not hard work at all (you only remove the E clip for the 1st speed spur, watch that it does not go flying!). This beats trying to look for the screw through the hole in the housing and then getting the 2mm screw into place as it needs to be at a certain angle.
What I do is to tighten the clutch screws till they are firm, not tight. Then loosen about 5-5.5 turns. Then you can fine tune from there. Each time turn a 1/4 turn. The shift point will also be affected by the way you tune your engine.

Ok thx you are right it was very easy to remove it and adj. Had it shifting on the box today with some more fuel mixture tweeking. Gonna pick up some belts and rear tires then take it to the Track weds. (if its not raining....) This starter box thing is da chit I can't believe I was Yankin the crank for a year.... Now I gotta yank the Yanker off my RB wow that RC10GT gonna really fly now.How Big should the Wings be for it?
!Had a Problem with the Motor mount screws backing off... Longer Screws or the 4mm mounts? Seems like a 3x12 would be a better screw then the stock 3x8 But I Like to Go big on HP anchors. Has anyone else Had Problems with stripped screws/Screwholes anywhere on the MTX3? Seems like a bad place to go cheap on such a nice kit.

That should put a nice dent in both the car's weight and your wallet.
