Softer is fine if you don't mind doing it more often.

Asian market has many manufacturing companies; not all are the same. They aren't just bearing rollers. Top quality axles come with polished and chamfered bits, have a closer look. These metal finishing options contribute to smoother suspension action. In addition, there is a balance on hardness.

Most rollers slated for bearings are probably in the 60's rockwell scale. The centers in these cars seem to be on the soft side. Softer will help wear for sure.

Where can I get a hundred of them for $3? I buy the Mugen ones because I know what to expect.

Don't have my caliper with me or id gladly measure 4 u. IIrc, the Mugen bag of these is listed at amain for the mtx5. I'd ring Mugen while they are still open to confirm.

Is anyone able to confirm if the MRX6 & the MRX5 body posts are in the same position? Looking at placing an order for precut Matrix R18 bodies in New Zealand, we still have MRX5's floating around so just ensuring the bodies will fit!

Anyone know how the sanwa receivers with built in antenna work or fit?

I would not use them on a nitro car only electric because of vibration that's what I was always told but if u like to experiment let us know what happens!!!

simpy search for sanwa 472 mrx6 from goggle, a photo there to suggest how to put the physical antenna-less receiver in the box, good luck.

i saw it from japanese website under mrx6. haven't checked the eng version.

That's interesting. Thought sanwa was always nitro grade vibration resistant. If I jump in, I'll let you know. I'll have to let go of my m11 and m8 which I'm so accustomed with. If I don't see a big difference with all that cash outlay for a m12s, it's gonna be disappointing. I'm still considering waiting for the m13. Let's see how it plays out. My m11 and m8 are very good and mint condition, so there isn't a huge rush.

I'll search again, came up empty handed earlier. Ideally, I'd like room for a transponder and receiver in there. I'm probably asking for too much..lol.

Antenna less receivers are normally used for short tracks like electric car tracks because low in the chassis with a smaller antenna it can cause range issues.

And putting a transponder against the receiver is also asking for range issues up to glitches.... Be aware a transponder is a transmitter too and so it does produce an electric field arround it. Although it works on a complete different frequency it still can damp the signals for the receiver.

I ran the m11 and always had some kind of glitching I went through 3 m11 then the m12 came out and I had the exact problems in the exact spot at my home track and problems away racing, after months of tech support back and forth I meet a guy who had same problems and he said to me he can not use sawana because of the current in his body, we confirmed it with tech some people electric current in there body can cause this with certain remotes I switched to Futaba and never had a problem again crazy but possible!!!

I don’t think if you gave the m12 that it would be worth it to buy the m12s. If you’re on the m11, I think the upgrade is worth it if the m13 isn’t coming out anytime soon.
