As I said, no sign of Mugen. "A reliable source" tells me nothing.
Mugen has the entire season played hide and seek. Enough is enough.

It is unfortunate but we have decided to stop riding the MTX5.
We have applied all possible options / modifications but nothing has brought a solution for longer time. Approximately 25 2nd Spurs driven piece.
Our patience has run out and the MTX5 goes on sale.
We will now orientate on what we are going to drive next season.

I say that the material of the spurs is too hard. The teeth break off like matchsticks.
Unfortunately that Mugen gives no sign of live.

It's a shame because it is a very fast car but unfortunately unreliable.

I have been told by a reliable sorce there are new gears coming soon. Also Mugen are now shipping the new chassis and engine mount.
Just to let you know.

Hi Greg

Well done to Bailey and yourself on a great performance over the weekend. I thought you might have been running the old MTX4R. Who is making the brace, I have seen an alloy on and wondered if Trackside where selling them?

Thanks
Andrew

hi andrew, im the one making the alloy braces, they work fantastic!! if you want one you can buy it through jeff at trackside rc, 07 3889 7918, once you put one of these baby's on you can kiss gear stipping good bye!
and the added bonus is it makes the car faster.
in fact i did'nt hear of anyone who was running the brace say they had any gear problems, and my son joel was using the same gears and pinions that he used for the previous few club days, i only changed them when he got though to the semi final at the nats not that there was anything wrong with them they almost look brand new still.

cheers paul ramsay.
