In my hometrack, top 10 drivers are mostly using mrx5 now.
Few drivers still use mrx4x and kyosho m3.
The usual finish number 1 driver is still using mrx4x.
Here a little story about mrx5 vs mrx4x :
Last weekend, the usual finish number 1 driver (mrx4x) is finished 2nd position, and the usual finish number 3 or 4 driver ( brand new mrx5 ) got lucky and finished 1st position.
The usual finish number 1 driver said to me after the race, "mrx5 is definetely better car than mrx4x, especially in high speed sweeper. I'm slower at that sweeper. He (mrx5 driver) closes the gap from that sweeper and finally pass me at lap 150".
According to him , All mrx4(x,r) cars have understeering tendencies when push to the max ( eventhough he already done 3mm wheelbase mod ).

to all the guys with glitching problems discovered something today might be an answer, most of he time i tune my motor with the cover off but today was tuning on the track and couldnt get to the low speed screw so i turned the carb out so the screwdriver can get to it ok went on the track car was glitching all over the place went back and what i found was when turning the carb out like that i found the throttle body binding was like chattering when opening all the way also getting stuck open.. so i turned the carb back and wala glitching went away so guys go check the strain on the throttle servo is causing the glitch.. cause we all have this problem its hard to get to the low speed screw cause of the tank and this could b y all diff radio systems r having this problem please let me know if this helps

big g i would say it was glitching more then getting stuck richie says the binding is causing a strain on the servo causing it to glitch as soon as i returned the throttle to the normal position it went away for the rest of the day, it was going into fail safe when i would go full throttle

If using digital servos be sure to set the EPA so not to overload the servo. Digital servos operate much differently than analog. Digital servos will always try and center themselves and max out to the end points. If the servo is straining, it will cause the servo to stutter and appear as if it was glitching. This is why I still use analog servos on the throttle. Hope this helps.
