I actually noticed in the original CAD drawings, that the relationship of the clutch and engine position in general looked very different to the 4, the gears seem set a long way out, engine position looks moved, clutch looked super long.

Considering this was a ground up redesign, I personally did not expect any parts from the old cars to work, being a totally new car (and we always knew that) I'm not sure why anyone would have thought otherwise?.

Those 6 clutch bearings do look a little crazy though, but I think it's an interesting way to tackle the problem of over stressing what would otherwise be a bearing at either end of a long section, with 6 bearings I'd actually expect the clutch bell to be 'very' smooth in free play.

agree 100% and lets wait and see if the rrr pinions fit the new clutch bell, if so stell pinions all the way!

all you really need is a good set of hard anodized aluminum pinions and they will last.

Do you mean 1/10 is harder to maintain than the 1/8. What sort of parts are you referring to.

choisan 08-29-2011 05:59 PM

At least I have to maintain and try the setting of both front and rear differentials much more frequent. And the price of the parts are not so much different.

I got you. I usually bring along 5 or 6 sets of front and rear diffs (filled with different oils) so I can just swap them out.

The event is near. Soon the producers will have the availability. This week I should know when here.

Bishop 08-30-2011 12:52 AM

Nitro really is in a slump I'd say, no where near as much general excitement about this car as I expected, shame really, though I suspect every man and their dog owns a Xray now, or Cap or Velox...


Car could be only 2 weeks away now?, if it stays on track for the first shipment, still can't wait to get mine, it's going to be very interesting, I must have read the build manual a dozen times now, keen to see how that plays out in my actual build, some things look easy on paper, never know till your doing it.

nazarc 08-30-2011 04:35 AM

If the shipments began this week, to someone will come much sooner than 2 weeks.
Nitro market is in the slump, but isn't say, because MTX5 is incentive too for new pilots. For the competition we need a competitive price and engagement by mugen seiki of new pilots
