Mugen MTC1 Wiki:
MTC1 Manual on the Mugen Web Site. Correction for the manual   The max/min tooth count of the spur and pinion combined. 64p = 127 to 164 total teeth  48p = 95 to 120 total teeth  People who have spare spur gears left over from other cars which they wish to use but can only utilize 2 of the 4 mounting holes, here's neat trick from MKAH to drill 2 more holes precisely in the spur gear: 1.Dismantle the Spur Holder and mount XRAY Spur with two screws.  2.If you have take a 3mm Top Setting Screw  3.Get the Top Screw in the first free thread to the Spur Holder from the other side until it touches the Spur a litle bit. Make the same with the second free Thread.  4.Dismantle Top set Srew an the two screws witch holds the Spur on the Holder. Now you see two marks absolutely central.  5. Take an 3mm Driller an Drill the holes at the marked places  6.Mount the Spur with the two old and two new holes on the Spur.  Spur Gears known to fit the gear holder with the correct hole pattern 1. Axon 2. Panaracer Upper front arm hinge pin set screw tip (or any of the kit set screws): When installing the set screw run the set screw in until you can see it come into the hinge pin gap. Back the screw out and make sure there is no flashing in the way and then the screw. Now slide the pin in and you should hit the pin and come to a dead stop. It will be a solid feel and not sloppy like it will not tighten which is caused by any loose plastic. Hara's Setup  Robert Pietsch's Latest Carpet Setup

Did those people buy the Awesomatix new, or s/h?

I do believe a shorter shock can make a difference in feeling but not because the lower CG. Xray did make the mistake on the RX8 I believe the 2013 model which did not help to make the car better so new longers shocks were designed for the next year model
In the 1/8 onroad racing we do see more and more lower CG placed cooling heads giving temperature issues so from time to time you see drivers replacing the head by a normal higher version w/o needing to change the setup because the higer CG. And then we are talking about a 10 gram high in the sky and not a 5 gram already arround roll center.
But I trully believe most of these yearly changes and all the technical bullsh*t stories are not to make the car better for more than 90% of the drivers who can not make an advantage out of it but more to give a reason to them to buy the new car anyway.
Mugen on the other hand dares to do 3 years with a car with only some options in that period. And if possible the next car is based on the same platform so only an upgrade kit is needed.

But I agree with you. Not only that yearly updates are snake oil, but sometimes they are just dead wrong and the cars are total dogs as you and others have demonstrated.
Well, you have to keep the fanboys paying.

Did he win outright from the beginning or did something happen on the faster guys?

But the race doesn't show the Awesomatix as faster. In fact Volker is faster, he just couldn't get past Ryan (you can see his frustration). The Awesomatix has more take off, but that's not the car, it's the speedy/motor. Would be interesting to know why Volker didn't qualify on pole.
Good driving from both nonetheless.
What track is that? Looks tiny.

Oh, okay, so just a fad. Like I said, no Xray competitor in the market share stakes.

The track is TFTR in Melbourne. The back straight is approximately 40m (130 feet).

He is a very good driver indeed but I don't agree with you GrandeGixxer. It would've been very difficult for him to pass Volker had he not TQ'ed. He wasn't that much faster. Volker was right on his tail all the time till he crashed into him. Disclosure I'm not on Volker's side. I just don't think Ryan was outright faster.
