MTX-3 vs. HPI R40!
 
Everybody wantrs to know which car will finish in the top 5 the most this year..opinions ppl??

Gr8tMT12 03-29-2004 12:23 PM

Handling
 
I think that the r40 has the mtx-3 in handling but and far a stable car,the mtx-3 has it in that field

mckrooz 03-29-2004 04:27 PM

The MTX-3 is better in all aspects. Handling, durability, weight.

junito yukiyu 03-29-2004 04:30 PM

dollar for dollar.. r40 BUT OVERALL MTX3..:nod: :nod: :nod:

wild gopher 03-29-2004 04:31 PM

you forgot to mention that out of the box the MTX-3 is ready to go. The R40 has to be upgraded a bit to be competitive. The R40 does not come with a one way either.

junito yukiyu 03-29-2004 05:26 PM

there you go my fellow racer! , today i believe mugen is a better deal!

Disagree here. What facts are you basing this on?

Not at all. The new 2004 spec R40 is far better value than the MTX3. Biggest problem is that R40 2004 may or may not make it to the US.

2003 Roar - HPI wins over Mugen
2003 JMRCA - Mugen beats HPI

I think it is pretty even on all accounts.

Guys... and Gal... you see there is no question, Serpent whips all the others, and leaves only scraps for the mugens and hpis to fight over.

Still in transit?
 
Baxter have you driven the 710 yet? (I just saw the in transit phrase..)Well any hoo..I am familer with the Serpent's. I bought 2 of them and built one, worst kit I've ever built.. All the part's were not in the bag's as per the instuction's said and I, ( hubby) had to hand fit some part's.. Well after all that I drove it. Not being biased, I liked the 710 so much that I sold my unoppened kit, and is mailing the used one to a friend in Australia.. (Hi Sparksy..).. So once again to each his own... And once again Im taking up space... R.
