Driving charasteristics
hey guys. Got a generalized question here. Been driving Rc for 7 yrs now and finally decided to get 1:8 scale onroad car(MRX-4X). I have yet to put it together. This one has a front one way and solid axle in the back. I guess that's pretty univeral. I have owned and drivien all sorts of RC vehicles (I currently run a Kyosho RRR WC with a front soild spool and a Kyosho St-RR truggy)but given the size and power of 1:8 onroad I just wondered how does it drive?
I know it sound like a vague question since prolly no 2 cars drives the same..but just need a general idea. I had a serpent IMPACT once with front one way/solid rear axle. I couldnt use brakes at all and it was all about throttle control and carrying enuf corner speed without spinning out. Does the same idea apply to 1:8 scale onroad? I mean I drive my RRR I have to stay on da gas to get it to turn and I use brakes quite often to get weight transfer to front..But with the MRX3X I am thinking I have to drive it like my Impact..am I right? Any insight would be appreciated. I hate to look like a jackass the first time I bust out the new ride..LOL

Alloy pullies for MRX4X
Whose alloy/hard anodyzed pullies will fit the mrx4x? Also will the Serpent axles that use nuts instead of qc levers fit the Mugen?

For the 16 tooth one, I used an old Serpent one. I would not advise using any other alloy pulleys but if you must, there are several brands out there.
