The steering linkage will hold up just fine. It's the same design as the 1/8 scale MRX-3.

Has anyone noticed the sealed bearings in the pro-spec seem a bit weak.
5 times now I have pulled a wheel bearing out to find the outside case has cracked into a number of peices !
anyone know of any better alternatives at a similar price, or is there some lubricant that may help.
I was told they just don't stand up to impacts, but Ive seen one let go on the 2 speed shaft ??

On the bottom of the last page of Additional Features at the Mugen site, it said:
The tires are GRP Fast tire specially made for the MTX3.
Other tires can not be used.
What's with this? Another Serpent Impulse front wheel deal?
