This would calculate for different tire diameter, correct?

After doing it a couple of times, i think we can skip 1 less step...
Need to remove only belt and belt tensioner and of course the engine chassis monut screws.
No need to remove the chassis stiffener as you slide the engine in sideways...
Am i right ?

Kind of hard to figure out which tower is the correct one! The serial number on chassis are in sequence... Surely they are from the same batch!
Also, they missed packing a grub screw/small pins bag on one of the kit too...

You can post both pictures?

One of our distributors has it listed at 499.99.
But I'm not sure why your complaining about the price to Mike S. he can't change it so your wasting your time. You can go out and get a mongoose or some other car but in the end you will either go buy a MTX-4 or wish you had.

Rumor has it that Mugan USA is switching from JP Novas to M-Speed OZ-TZ12's... WOW!!!! M-Speed motors possilbly sold through Mugen USA and what a great match with the new MTX4... I hope Mugen USA will shed some light on this... Like I said... It's just a rumor that I heard yesturday and I would have not posted this if it did not have some legs of truth to it... Any valid info into this would make alot of M-speed and OS fans very happy... Mugen USA...

You guys got some deep pockets! That's way too high! That's close to the price of a 1/8 scale! That's not even a PROSPEC YET! I might have to pass on this one, probably wait until I get a good deal from Hongkong or wherever cheaper.

Usually in Europe we get screwed a little harder when it comes to R/C (and fuel
) and the car is available here for 399 Euros.It's all good......

Serpent went from NR to Picco, although I'm not sure this was a great move.
It seems that OS is getting away from their "undestructable but slow" philosophy, judging by the TZ3.
Just my 2 cents.
