Moon, those alloy hex adaptors you have posted, are they Kawahara?

What the standard diff oil the car comes with - 30,000wt?

It is proposed products from kawahara.

O.K. The clutch bell should spin freely on the shaft. You will need more shims than are supplied to do it properly.
Use the tapered collet from the kit not the one from the engine, I use the smallest amount of threadlock on the motor shaft thread but that is up to u. Once the shoes are fitted, place the bell on the shaft with the 5x10 bearings in place. If the bell rubs on the clutch use enough shims to prevent the bell contacting the shoe, you should not be able to turn the motor over when you push the bell in and rotate it, this sets the clearance on the inside.
Now the end float has to be set, with the thrust bearing in place on the collared shaft trial fit and test the end play, use shims until the clearance is about .3mm.

Is the clutch the same as supplied mith mtx2 prospec? The mtx2 manual says nothing about shims on the inside of the clutch bell. The motor cannot provide drive until the bell is pushed out against the thrust bearing can it?
Is there any reasons you would want more or less slop in clutch bell?
All info appreciated!

I would still like to hear reports from people who have driven them what they think and some more pictures? I am a interested Associated driver that might be keen to jump camp if the reports are good?

Have you also changed camp from Yokomo? I know Jeff Knib, Karl Lee & Wade have them?

I might just have to come out? Is this the last meet for this year?

I got tired of the old cars issues. Do you mean Kieth Mackrel? If so he's a Kyosho man anyway.

I put a new Novarossi S3 in the new MTX-3. A perfect match.

Racing starts around 6:00.

Remeber to bring your car and race.

Yes Keith Mackrel, He is Mr Yokomo since buying your old electric. I tried to convert him to associated, but to no avail.

Does eveyone feel that the internal gear ratio has helped the overall speed performance or is it the motor. How are the tyres wearing compared to the mtx-2. I noticed from some earlier posts that the car works good with softer tyres, but are they wearing faster and are they coning.

The gearing options for this car are more than most mortals can cope with. It is suitable for a wide variety of tracks. Enough about gearing O.K.

Has anyone been able to achieve 200mm width with the car using 0mm offset wheels?

Has anyone tried spacers or other modifications which would allow 0mm rims to be used (and achieve 200mm)

Can the hubs be adjusted far enough out to increase the width?

The geometry of this car is designed around 2mm offset rims, vary this to your detriment.
