I'm sorry, I was just kidding about the detroit locker. Kawahara does make a "limited slip diff" for the Mugen MTX-4. Kinda the same concept as what fathead explained

Cool. Is there any word on a Factory Edition TC4 yet? What changes have to be made to the TC4 to get it to run really well? Graphite parts? Anything else? I think the car is way cool and I am looking at getting a foam car and I like the price of the TC4 compared to the RDXs and XRAYs.

Tech Regular
Ask others at the track what their ratio is or gear it so it reaches top rpm at the end of the longest straight.

The design of the arm blocks is a lot more interesting, it's not like AE's bricks
I don't know how ggod the chassis will be, I don't think they spent that much time on testing with that many parts but their braces should really help to reduce the flex.

It already runs really well. Just a bunch of keyboard drivers who get wood off the chassis of the week would say different.
You DON'T NEED all the stuff being recommended. Only the steel diffs (for obvious wear purposes), stiffer springs and swaybars if you feel you need them.
Everything else can be tuned in. You can then buy your tires, cut them down and get down to the business of racing.
You'll only benefit from carbon this and alloy that, when you're a few tenths off the TQ pace laps. THEN ... MAYBE having the car "stiffer" with all the $$$ goodies will help.
