I think the only problem with Capricorn is parts availability. No need to change cars, I see you doing very well with the X..

Good
 
I reached Mugen within this concern the other day along with seemed to be told there's no brand-new vehicle or maybe update currently.

hi we have just blown our first front diff/plastic has run 3 QLD titles 2 NSW and 0ne and a bit nationals///3 days practice it bent steel washers in a cone shape till the gears stopped meshing plus we have run in 3 engens so we put new plastic ones back in

NITTO550 10-04-2013 05:54 AM

That's a good run for composite diffs, that's also the reason why I went back to plastic in the front

I don't know if this is old news for this forum but saw this recently posted on the mugen seiki facebook page. https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?...7464053&type=1

Yes passion they have been out for a while, good eyes though. You should definitely get them especially for the rear diff

I just checked and the website is gone/down, you could email them though as that was the only way to order it anyway.

No idea if they still have it, to be honest I thought about it, but it was a lot of money, like $210 US when I asked, plus post, hard to justify when I already slap full nitro foams on my electric car and get the same result.

Thanks bishop, I'm looking to get into electric . Which car do you have?

I recently switched from a TOP Photon EX, to a Xray T4, I like the Xray that much I really want the new T4 2014, the build quality and durability on them is outstanding.

We created a electric class at our club which runs full sized nitro foams some time back, an electric 190mm chassis with 26/30mm foams is quite awesome to drive, about the only issues are usually requiring wheel spacers to clear lower shock mounts and stop any bad rubbing issues.

I would like to thank AUS/NATS CHAMP //1.8 FIRST//1/10 SECOND AND MUGEN for all the susport at the event jeff is a credit to the mugen brand and will help any one with parts/susport that asks for help thanks again JEFF//trackside rc

NITTO550 10-07-2013 05:47 PM

The t4 seemed like the obvious choice, but everyone has one and I like to be different. Sometimes there are advantages in being different, and this is why I kept my mtx5. I did have my eye on the tamiya though. What about yokomo? Sorry guys if I got off the mtx5 topic. Thanks in advance!!! Hey Greg!
