Hi, I've been running a C03 for a few years now and am looking to upgrade. I was thinking of upgrading to the MTX7. Please let me know if you would recommend the MTX7 or something else.

I'm also considering the serpent 750 evo.

From I’ve what I’ve learnt, upgrade to whatever is most supported at your local track. I currently run an Infinity IF15 and it is awesome! Infinity constantly come out with upgrades/option parts, there are regularly new videos being added by their team drivers to socials and it is well supported at my local track. So if this is an option I’d definitely go with the IF15.

note: I had a serpent 750 Evo prior

So you have become an Infinity victim? It is a more expensive product and all those new parts and nice movies are only for you to spend money. And that all to buy yourself into a family......

have you considered the c04? Some of
your parts will be interchangeable and it’s an awesome car !

I’m happy I fell “victim”. It’s a great car with plenty of support!

I haven't considered the C04, is there a considerable difference between the C03 and the C04? I was interested to see what people thought of the 750 evo's rear suspension.

I currently have 2 Cap C04 cars and really like them,I did own a Serpent 750 and its a great car just like the C04 better .Many of the parts will transfer over like arms,belts,diffs and all gearing .Also had an Infinity and it's a very nice car as well.

ever since i started to run a mtx3 from v1rr and impluse more than 20 years ago, then mugen's mtx4, mrx4,5,6,......i have never regretted. you will never find a brand that will only launch any unused/unnecessary options unless tested with real performance difference without or JUST cosmetic gain (from my opinion),......although i bought a if18-2 for my curiosity. mugen is still unbeatably reliable and reasonable.

Yes ,Mugen cars are very good ,MTX4R was a fantastic car.

Thank you! Do you think there is a noticeable difference in handling between the C03 vs the C04 or the MTX7?

Ran both the C03 and MTX7 a few years ago and preferred the Capricorn. When the C04 was released I got that and sold the Mugen. Can't say i gelled with C04, and probably still preferred my C03 to be honest. Not run tourer for a few years as numbers declined and changed to 1/8th scale pan car. If i had my time over again, I would have stuck with C03...

i think what is funny, is when someone asks for input between Brand A and Brand B, then someone jumps in with Brand X... which leads nothing to the conversation! Or am I wrong here?

To the OP, my biggest driver was parts support. At the time I could get Mugen parts more abundantly than Capricorn.

No you aren’t wrong, but he did say “or something else” but I won’t mention the “I” word in here anymore.

To the OP, the serpent 750 Evo was also a nice car. I had it though when I first started racing and I kept on braking rear arms and links on the rear active toe, mainly because I was in the grass at least once a run and they are not as thick rigid as the other brands standard arms.

Basically there are no bad cars, it is more up to you:
- can you setup a car to your wishes?
- can you get parts in a normal quick way?
- is the car and parts within the budget?
- are there more drivers with the same car? (easy for knowledge and quick needed parts)
