just wondering, why this mtx3 has 4mm engine mount screws on the main chassis?

Mine does too.

They came with the 3racing 4 mm chassis.

No, Mugen 4mm Chassis with Kawahara engine mount but for MTX2, so was 4mm screw.

I am confused ! :confused: :confused: :confused: :confused:

The latest Kawahara MTX2 engine mount already has low CG, (same height as MTX3 one), use with 4mm titanium screw & Serpent washer.

i see, so you are saying you use MTX3 4mm chassis with mtx2 engine mount with 4mm screws.

Multiple MTX3 questions
 

What gearing will I need for a large track, the only gears I have are what comes in the kit and one track I race at is so big you dont need brakes. What shore are the tires that come stock? Will the Jaco Nitro Shoes with 0 degree work on the rear or will I need an adapter? I am going to run a solid axle/spool up front for a small track...any suggestions on what to do for the rear as far as heavier oils and any setup changes. If these questions are lame I apologize...I run an Associated and am clueless to this car.

Re: Multiple MTX3 questions
 

are you running 0.8 module or 1.0?

I would go for Mugen Fast tire period! because they work really good on mtx3

How could I tell the difference between the .8 or 1.0 . Do they give you an option with the kit?

Foams
 

The kit foams are fast tires, and they 37's. You can also benfit with 40, and 42 compound. depnding on the track cond.

the .8 modules just came out awaile back ago. Using the .8 gears will give you a broader line of gear ratios to work with. For example: In electric, its like using 64 pitch gears compared to 48 pitch gears. For me, when I first started using the .8 gears, the first thing I notice was the transition from 1st to second 2 gears was very smooth. Basically, the car felt smooth throughout the whole power band. Give them a try. You might like them.

Gary:

Stick to the stock rear bars. The one that comes with the kit is 2.3mm while the silver rear bar is 2.5mm. I've had people try the 3 piece rear sway bar, but they went back in using the stock mugen sway bar.

seems that you change engine like underwear..huh!??:lol: :lol: :D
