So I guess I'll go back to the idea of buying a couple of low profile Savox servos to use in mine when I get it...


Actually second thing I noticed in the latest pics, side belt looks like it's rubbing a lot on the manifold...

Bishop... stop droooling all over RED RC!!!

LOL only joking!!!

Car looks TIGHT and awesome... I think the rear brace issue will be compensated by the transmission mounts and bulkheads overlapping on the chassis plate. It's like a truss system mounted onto the plate and should be quite stiff in design. That belt does look very close to manifold though!

You realize I'll need a bib for when I build it, maybe even a surgeons mask so I don't spittle drool directly on any of it during the build...

And you know I remembered one of the other cars that tried to do without that brace, when I tripped over some prototype pics of the V10, also missing a side brace...

Red RC have said they will have coverage from Wednesday I think.

nazarc 08-16-2011 12:14 AM

It 'started the second day of testing.
Teemu and Dick are Xray pilots. Up to now the reference is Mugen Pietsch but also the Italian Tironi

Bishop 08-16-2011 12:26 AM

Couple of MTX5 related pics came up on Facebook today...

It 'took to the track the other driver mugen Vrielijnck Rick. Hudy
Juraj Xray 13,151 .. go get it! Pietch runs with Novarossi contact tyres ..I think.Tironi Francesco (ITA) runs with Sirio Engine and Matrix tyres ... disappointing last year.

nazarc 08-16-2011 01:56 AM

Great Pietsch MTX5 which marks a large number are under 13.6 rounds with the best 13,380. Tironi also lowers the time on 13.6

That means you are buying one so you can weight it yourself correct? ;)
