my mtx3
 

i have a couple of questions?i installed the rody 5 port modified but i noticed the centax flywheel rubs against the metal shield from the front bearing(im using the collect that came with the kit)is this an issue i should worry about?,also i took appart the engine and noticed some metals burrs and flashings inside of the block and crankshaft,i couldn't remove the piston nor the crankshaft,am i suppose to heat the block and then try to remove the crank how about the piston?????last but not least will the track magnets 30mm front and 35mm foams fit this car


any help will be appreciatted

thanks

i dont really know what your talking about rubbing but i dont think anything should rub maybe add a spacer behind the collet

the engine has metal shavings inside? thats not good at all and you should be able to take it apart without heating it unless your pulling bearings

and i really dont think the track magnets will fit you need 26mm fronts and 30mm rears with a 2 degree offset or the same widths but use a 1mm spacer behind the wheel hex

rob i asure you my tank was never tight it moves like jelly!!

run it as standard then add what you need!!

is it ok to leave out the large C clip which goes onto the one way? i can't figure out how to put that on:blush:

Re: my mtx3
 

I had the exact problem with my Rody 235. Check the front bearing on the engine, mine wasn't 100% flush with the engine and this caused the problem. You may need to bang the bearing in lightly until it sits flush and the flywheel spins ok until it gets to TDC.

You should be able to pull out the crank/piston and linear without having to heat up the engine.

fire i think you know that you need to put the clip on

do you have sizzors for cutting bodies?

i didnt have snap ring pliers when i was putting it together so i used the body sizzors its not easy but you can put the sizzor ends into the clip then spread open the sizzors and pop the clip on

bolisario stay away from 3racing universals i bought them because i had broken a mugen one already and i figured that if i was going to break them anyway why not break the cheap ones right well to make a long story short the 3racing ones werent even a good deal at 1/2 price they break REALLY easily

It will be a pain in the @ss if you dont have the C-ring tool to put on the c-ring.

you need two fine point ball pen to pull the ring ears apart and put it on the slot. I do think it is not worth to buy that tool just for this purpose.

Henry did it with this method.

is that a 5th body post from K-factory?

it took me 45 min to put that thing on the oneway :eek: and i didnt want to leave ugly scratches all over the smooth and shiny oneway...but i actually did...:cry: :cry: :cry: A quick fix would be to use the finest (1200 grade i think) sandpaper to smootheen the scratched area and use some Autosol Polish Cream to make it shine again...:cool: :D

i've been reading the rear tyres rubbing against the rear upright...
but funny thing is, i never come across this problem, i went to the LHS, grab all the foams that i need without checking if they are 1 or 2mm offset...
but they just dont rub the upright...:weird: :weird:

Off Topic Question...Digital Camera
 

can anyone recommend a value for money digital camera ?
I've been reading about Canon's digital cameras. The PowerShot A70 looks good and is within my budget...any comments on this? Any suggestions?

Re: my mtx3

Re: Re: my mtx3
 

It's in the normal location. It just looks as if it's mounted low.:nod:

Fuji Film A203 is what I use.

Speaking of one-ways.. does the MTX-3 come with std gear diffs only? or a oneway? hehe..
