replaced the kit bearings with the ceramic nitride bearings today. spent me 3 hours and it is a dirty job !!



(Note: The Ceramic Nitride bearings in sizes 4x8, 4x8F, 3/16x5/16x.1094, 6x10, 1/2x3/4, 1/8x3/8, 5x9F, & 5/32x5/16 sizes currently are available only with the Teflasonic Dual PTFE seals)


does the ceramic bearing set include the 2 in the clutch bell?
how much heat these bearings can take?

Does MTX-3 requires the bearing sizes in the above?

hey guys

is the mtx-3 kit without the engine come with a header?

From the instruction manual, it should be included, i am not 100% sure about this though, it only seems like it

so ....does anyone know?

the header is useless. it limits the power of your engine.

Hey Manticore, care to explain how the stock header is useless/limits power?

Today I switched to the "A" rear blocks after the quals out of curiousity and because a fellow racer had his working good with "A"s. My car actually worked better, even with the cut-down "cartman hubs":D . The rear-end was more stable and more predictable. I ended up using Mugen blue springs and used two thick shims under the outer camber link ball. My previous set-up used Mugen purples and "C" rear blocks with no camber shims. Funny thing is that the top MTX-3 racers here were using totally different rear setups(and blocks) with excellent results.:nod:

Our track temps averages 135 deg. F so the rubber tires that we use(Sorex 36-40R, Yok 138GH) "grease-up" after three-four laps. Finding traction in this situation is really tricky especially on a technical track.:nod:

This is one of our many track layouts............. Actually, this one was a rush job.:lol:

Makes sense...what header would you recommend, then? Or header/pipe combo, if it's an inline pipe? RD Logics?

the RD logics is nice and you cant go wrong with it. performance is similar to novarossi 52605 inline. I recommend shark (outlaw) or 5 stars (outlaw) with kawahara header.

Thanks! :)
