No ...... I don't think so. Track width can be set not to exceed 200mm.

World Q works well, but if you can get your hands on the mugen one get it, Pro Shop Futaba carry these as well as your Kawahara gear you need, top ppl to deal with and at a very good price and they ship to Aust (EMS) get my gear in 3 days to the door

Just trying to get that last bit out of my car?

Do you change the height of the rear lower arms between the 3 positions depending on the track? what is the effect?

Since changing to 18/24 (from standard 17/23)it's much better on the larger tracks. Whats the effects off changing the standard 53t and 59t spur gears.

Cheers

generally i cut my front tyres 1-2 mm smalller but try to keep the tyres as large as possible.

Here bro. Sounds like you need this. I know it's xray, but it relates to all t/c and it's very similar to the mtx-4. I love this book.

Hey guys new member here!!!

I am in the middle of building the MTX4-R (my first RC kit) and I may be haveing a bit of trouble with the front dogbones (universals).

They seem to be just a hair long and they are binding up the front a-arms. Now I know what you are thinking.....he is using the rear dogbones for the front application. Well this is not the case, I have double and tripple checked that I am using the correct ones.

Any ideas???

I also noticed that the manual I have and the manual I downloaded from the Mugen website differ with this topic. The manual I downloaded from the website uses the dogbones and the manual in the kit uses universal joints.

I guess the easy thing to do would be to grind them down a bit but I do not want to do this if I don't have to.

Is there something I am missing here?

Thanks for any and all help.
