Same here.

They hold heat, the rims never break or crack, the foam is durable and has as much bite as any other foam.....priced right also.

The GQ's are fine. I used them for a while and they did offer me a sponsorship. I stopped using them, because availability was not consistant. I have switched to Fast Tires on the MTX wheels. The fast tires can be purchased at Ace or Nitrohouse for a very good price. Ace normally charges $15/pr but you buy 3 and get 1 for free. That comes out to $11.25/pr. That is a great deal for a US dealer.

mine are separated more than a milimeter, it is new, it's just the 2 speed aluminum housing with wear!


Yea I noticed that the cam had a little bit of slop when it was inside of the shoes. I just ordered some new shoes to be on the safe side. Going to NJ this weekend. Thanks

Ellegi's.

I am going to try Jaco 2 stage foams after this pair.

I have found that the best tires to use are the Fast Tires with the MTX3 rims.....all others are good... i just found these to be the best

mkristanto 08-22-2005 09:30 PM

tires
 
I agree. especially with off set.
But i found kawahara tires are good too and Ellegi is also works well :D

- You can use zero degree off set tires and 2 degree offset tires, you may need to do some ajusting.

- I'd wait for the MTX-4, it will be around $350 which is cheaper than what the prospec is priced right now.

How do you know MTX4 will be price around $350 ? I think it's fair price considering the price of V1 RRR and 710.

How do I know?

Mike confirmed it for us a while back.


The MTX-4 will not be more expensive then a MTX-3 Prospec. The MTX-4 is going to be about the same price as a standard MTX-3.

yeah but the mtx-4 wont be a prospec will it????

thanks

Mike

Seisick 08-23-2005 09:48 AM

found the same dilemma, get the mtx4 stock or wait for the prospec. I´´ve got my mtx3 stock about 2 years and it runs strong as brand new! I´´ll wait for the prospec version to come out some time next year and see what are the pros and cons once the 4 comes out. too bad that the 4 won´´t come with front universals and al engine mount

I've used GRP Devils with great results, you can get them from www.nitrohouse.com for $9 bucks a pair.
