with of course longer screws and longer front upper arm turnbuckle (the mrx series
comes with 22mm but most people replace them for 30mm)
maybe that will make it bulletproof

too bad the pics dont show if the engine mounts are a new design or if the current mtx4 can be used as i have a spare one piece engine mount.

maybe the holes in the chasis are designed to be used in full no flex mode using an optional
one piece engine mount, lets wait and see

What is wrong with MTX4R ..... is primarily the transmission.
Other changes are:
- Axis of transmission and gearbox, differentials and pulleys of xray
- Move the batteries from the exhaust side
- Low friction bearings: plastic parts need to work so that the rotating parts .. are not too heavy braking. So file, reamer and sandpaper in hand.
- Belt high sliding lubricated with silicone spray (including pulleys)
Also need to reduce the weight of the box ... too heavy:
- Screws lighter: about -25 g
- Uniball lightweight: about - 16 gr
- Li-fe batteries: approx - 30 gr
- Lightweight brake discs around - 10 gr
- Engine mounts lightweight: about - 5 gr
- Xray transmission using many grams are recovered. Finally we come to have a car that weighs less than 1700 gr.

It has been proven to shorten the "step" on the rear ... but do not go
A little better if the operation is done on the front axle, but it is laborious.

The balance is not optimal. The MTX4R is very heavy on the side of the servi

With these changes the car is much better but not enough. We want MTX5.

Changing the radio plate (cut) comes standard on the new on-road 1:8 serpent.

What a tease, Amain must have created a page and deleted it, or have it set as hidden, the google search bot must have caught it though...

This means that we are close to the official release. The house is moving fast now and I think the car will arrive before September.

Riddle me this, why is it that they always release cars at the end of the year after the season is pretty much over? lol...
