Thumbs up D3

my MTX-3 with an STS D3 was able to give the new Mugen x12 in an MTX-3 a real good run for its money this past weekend.
Running up against two far more experienced drivers i qualified 3rd. Every once in a while catching the x12 car only to suffer driver error.
With a good setup and a better driver the D3 is up there with the best of them.
30% Odonnel...no changes...no problems

Default D5

i dont know if the D5 has more power, i think has a different power curve, maybe more torque ???

Thanks for the check list!! The clutch is a two shoe Associated with cut and drilled shoes with heavy springs...I'll check the spacing but pretty sure it's good. I run the engine at 240-250 degrees...what do you consider a good race temp to be? 70-80 degrees outside temp.
Thanks for the help, the motor has helped me to earn a partial sponsorship from Jaco!!! Are you looking for any Canadian representation for your motors??
Dear jjmudd,

240-250 is good when 70-80 outside temp.
Any sponsorship please ask Geoff @ www.projectzen.net

Regards,
Dino

What you looking for is this one D5R ;It is the most power that you can get in your budget.


Get it from Geoff @ http://www.projectzen.net/page2.html

need to work on the set up a bit more before that realy starts to show, but i can turn in under others car and accelerate away from them.
overall very pleased with the results of the D3 and the MTX-3
