Just picked up a mtx-5 and pretty stocked on the purchase. Does anyone have a good set-up for GLARCR in Los Angeles they would not mind sharing? Also any upgrade parts that the car needs that would be considered an absolute have to? Thanks!
Front: Shocks in the top hole 1 degree toe out on each side front roll centers in the top position 35 front shore 199 track width. Rear: 2.25 toe in on each side 2.3 sway bar 200 track width 37 shore tire I ran this for the quals and for the hour long main ran front left 37 front right 35 rear left 42 rear left at 40 15/20 and the middle set of spur gears (im at work and cant remember what they are) After a hour long race I wore my rear tire down to 53 mm!! ( I started at 63.5) Yes the P37 is the body to use there with our cars. Spark could work well if you were to use 32/ 37 tire combo Good luck Steve |

Does this mean that you ran 4 different shore compounds all the way around your car or is this another setting on the car? Thanks! |

The traction on the second day got so high that lap times dropped almost 2 seconds, I had a fun weekend and I'm sure everyone did. I don't drive a mugen but the guy you are talking about with it was a sight to see. |
Hey Joe what's up! I heard he was running the car box stock and probably composite diff gears in the rear. I use steel diff gears in the rear and composite in the front. I used the same gears in the front for two seasons before they blew.

No diffs blown in my Ntc3(ball diff) yet , but with high traction, gear diffs will wear fast ... I saw those 8scales traction rolling too...wow.... Too much traction !!!

There's nothing wrong with this car, I only went xray cause it's my my first full season and wanted a car that I can get help with. For next season I'm considering a mugen, especially if a new ones coming out. Either that or serpent 747, but as of this moment Capricorn is at the top of my list with mugen not far behind (mtx5r that is) |
