What ive seen other people break are steering blocks mainly. i would get a set of belts and pulleys too. [QUOTE]

i thought steering blocks were uprights? who knows lol:lol:

oh when you said steering blocks i thought you meant the block in the middle of the steering assembly haha :lol: so now theres 3 names for it!
1/ wheel hub
2/Front uprights
3/steering blocks

Steering block = Front upright

(on a mugen)

Is there a tire size that works best on the MTX-3. I'm only running the standard belts. Should the tires be the same size or smaller on the front.

Thanks All.

k factory from trinity shopatron has pinions up to 23.

What part number? Are you sure this will work with the stock spur gears (same pitch)?

Without belt conversion, run 2mm smaller fronts, with 16/19 conversion, run 4mm split.

Thanks.

Also. What do you suggest I start my tires at . I get about 2mm wear in a 10 min race.

I have been doing 3 races on 1 set.

But would I be able to do faster laps if I true my tires down smaller.

Sorry about all the questions. I have only had two race meets.

So I'm new to on-road.

Tire Size
 

One more thing to remember.....as tires get smaller and you set the arms lower to get adequate ride height, the suspension geometery changes (roll-center, etc.).

Many people may consider this a minor factor, but you should try larger tires and small tires and see if you can tell any difference.

Typically, the roll-center lowers as the suspension arms drop.....so very small tires create more chassis roll.....the debate is on as to the final effect....it depends somewhat on the level of grip available....but generally this will give the front of the car a crisp feel.....regardless....this is the only way we have to tune the front roll-center....maybe this will change on the MTX-4....can't wait.

A main
 

hello ... .
yesterday i race for the 10 th time.... but its the 1st time using the mtx3 ( i just got it 2 weeks ago 'used car').. and i qualified 10th in the A main for the first time...

so either my driving was getting bettter or the mtx3 help me get into the A main or maybe both...

anyway i'm just plain happy after 2 long years there is an 'A' main trophy in my collection....bye...:D :D :D

front belt?
 

is the front belt length different between when using fr one way or fr gear diff.

and can u guys tell me what is the belt teeth no. for either.

thank u.

Same belt for 1-way or diff. Not sure on number of teeth on belt.Too lazy to go out in garage and count. Front belt is the one that is slightly longer than rear belt" :)

Front belt is 201, side belt is 375 and rear belt is 192. The rear belt and side belt are same size as VoneRR belts.

....or maybe there wasn't enough compition!:p :lol:


I'm kidding......CONGATS!:cool:
