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 ??

Maybe try bearings from the Yokomo GT4? The hub bearings are the same size as the MTX-2. Haven't had any bearing problems with both of my GT4's. Both metal shielded and rubber sealed type.

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?
