i don't really think the mtx3 requires much of a change except adjustable front roll centre, adjustable top a arms, and a simpler steering ackerman adjustments.
a micro clutch would be good, but the mugen clutch is the king anyway
so really no need.
NICE BUT NOT NEEDED STUFF?
-rear blade type sway bars
-a xray/serpent style clickable shock piston system would be good.
i recon they will change the spring rates as well so that people need to buy new ones.

Die Hard
I was a diehard Mugan fan and was waiting for the MTX-4 but a few weeks ago I drove my friends G4 Mongoose and now I have two of them. I have to say I don't see Mugan toping this one and it's half the price.

Is there a set date as of yet for when they are going to release this car?

Yeah I know Randy, I am just curious as to when I can expect to upgrade my current car, thats all. 
I have laways like the Mugen line of cars, but right now I have to be a budget racer, thats why I have the car I have now.

(you know that they are due for a new number), and Kyoshos hand you your butt time and time again.
Pretty bold. Makes me think if my car was alive and saw your car on the grid it would be grinning from head light to head light. I don't remember ever having my butt handed to me by a Kyosho and I have won alot of races with my Mugans MTX2 and 3 pros same with the Serpent 705 and 10. All good cars. HPI builds a heck of a truck but fell short on the R40. For the money the Mongoose is the best bet. and if you got your arss handed to you with the G4 I'm thinking it wasn't the cars fault

The car may be great at the club level in your area, but where are you guys when it comes to competing at a higher level? The last few nitro races I read about, I saw Serpent, Mugen, and Kyosho constantly in the top 10; Ofna, Schumacher, and HPI on occasion in the top 10, but not Mongoose/G4 Magic cars anywhere.

Are they making it a clone of the 710? We shall see in about 2.5 months. With the new battery pack arrangement and the advent of lithium receiver packs, you can control adding battery weight to the vehicle. It is about time that the tank was moved to dead center. Will it be better than the MTX-3? Who knows right now; only time will tell. Personally, I think they should have made it a baby MRX-4, with optional body mounts so that you can run a touring body or lola body.

In fact, I don't know any. Whereas in Taiwan where G4 is made, it regularily TQ and win national races besting the RRR, 710, and MTX-3's out there. Why? cause the top drivers there are sponsored to drive the G4.

I think you know the reason why MTX-3 did not make the A is not because the car is slow but because Mugen did not send their top team out to Brazil.
