Cool..

Uhm.... Found that car is enough rigid and don't need more rigidifiers, I'm using the Mugen 4mm chasis and some aluminium bits and don't need more any more rigidity. More rigidity doesn't means better many times, is your track the one that dictates if is enough rigid the car.

BTW: The tensioner looks cool but prefeer to use the 'cheap' wire tensioner, gives me a better feel when I need to retension it (and sorry, remembers me to a Impulse with those aluminium piece. :spidey: )

I liked the tensioner bit too. was going for a Kawahara belt tensioner till i saw this. since it is incorporated as a brace so why not try it out. i am using the Mugen 4mm chasis too. great stuff.:batman:

the brace does look great on the car but I do agree with Corse-R even if quality is not an issue. :cool: :cool:

BTW: This weekend will test the 16/19 combination. Any advice on the height split of the tyres (F/R)?

Sunday I'll 'convince' someone to say me where are mine NS12 (have a Dirty Harry Magnum here.... :lol: :lol: )

Ok. thanks for the data. Will be good to have this tyre split for the finals.

Yes, I'm able to source kevlar armored belts of whatever leght in 3, 4 and 5mm width. Ordered some 363mm on 4mm width and are quite cheap.

Hi,

I have a few sets of tire left from my other car. Can i use those on MTX-3? I heard someone mentioned that MTX-3 requires -2 degree foam tire? Is it true ? Can i just just 0 degree foam tire instead?

Thanks.
