You shoulda seen his fuel line! It was seriously about 15" long and the car still couldn't make 5 min. He ran out of gas in both qualifies. It was plenty fast though. Driver skills own.:ha:

The integy tire truer is suppose to be pretty good and decent on the checkbook as well.

Not only that. If you inspect the car closely, you'll be amazed to find out that he also had a reserved fuel tank hidden in it.

I once suggested him to use the waterhose for a fuel-line on his car. Guess he didn't take it, yet implemented my idea, indeed.

cheers,

Why that sneaky %#$&*$%#!:lol:

Maybe thats why he keeps it dirty so we can't see the hidden things with the naked eye.

nope. I don't read japanese either. But it doesnt take much reading to get what the thing does.

go to www.altavista.com --> translate. You can copy/paste stuff in.

gentleman81 05-17-2004 06:28 PM

i hope so but i dont know, why do u think the parts are gonna get hard to find or do u think im gonna want a mtx4?

B 05-17-2004 06:31 PM

well, people usually buy new cars when they come out:)
I bet most people on this forum will go and grab the 4 when it does come out!:D Most people still do eventually get the new model...

It depends on you really, but modding the mtx-3 with JDM mods will be quite expensive. A full option JDM car will cost well over the price of the car itself:D

Roger 05-17-2004 06:39 PM

JDM mods :lol: . You whole car is JDM cause its from Japan :nod: . Did you get that LSD for your B18C :nod: . Just playin with ya. I have a EG6 fully loaded with JDM parts.

Pick up the new xtreme rc cars. Robbie and his car is featured in it with information on tuning the MTX-3.

gentleman81 05-17-2004 06:39 PM

yeah and thats money i dont have at the time.

i'll keep my mtx3 for a while, im having a daughter, yeah me!!! :)

so it will last me, besides the guys i run with some run impulses and win so i think if i get my car blinged out i will hunt them down with ease, the only top notch cars out here with me are g4's, and 705's, i think i'll be in good shape for a while.

so should i get all the aluminum parts from 3racing, kfactory, the less expensive brands and get the major parts from the real good brands.

i cant imagine brases, pulleys, and sway bars Etc. making a difference in the durability of your car? besides the weight what is the harm in the less expensive hop ups?

am i wrong,
