BUT
 

it's by far not as bad as with computers or racing batteries (3000,3300) lately :lol:

$439US gets you the MTX-3 with MT-12 Turbo engine.

Ace Hobbies already has it in their newest RC Car Action ad.

499 w engine
289 w/o engine

novarossi that's the mtx-2. The mtx-3 will be packaged with the MR-12. You just were looking at the in-house stock # they were using for the car, which is why the last one said mtx-3.

i hope this car lives up to the hype.

I can garantuee you from my experience with ANY Mugen product I've owned so far that it will live up to it's reputation (because I don't see any hype yet) much better than for example the NTC3.

so basically $210 for the mr12... Is it supposed to be alot better than the mt12 or something?

lol, i knwo what u mean guys. one day a pentium 2 is the fastest thing on the market, next thing u know they come out with a pentium 3, then a few moths later, pentium4!!!lol
well, its all driver anyhow, rite?:smile:

MR12 is only 165 at speedtech.....:sneaky:
i think there is a typo on ACE's ad.... :eek:

what are you guys talking about - 439 for this car with engine is a great price. That's around 270ish for the car which is a steal for what all is coming on this car. The mtx-2 pro went for 480 with mt12 engine, and a yokomo gt4R and the kyosho V1rr are more than 270. The el cheapo ntc3 is at the least 240. The mtx3 car seems fairly priced to me.

i mean 289 for a MTX-3 without engine is too low.... how can they sell at a lower price here than in Japan? haha....
:D

499 with engine is reasonable though....:)

Guys, think!

Car with engine, header and pipe = $499

Engine $170
Header $15
Pipe $50
----------------
=$ 235

Car w/o engine pipe and header = $499 - $235 = $264


So, if you need an engine and exhaust, the first kit is a slightly better deal, but if you are set on these items, $289 make it a much easier desicion to get the new car.


Patelladragger, we were discussing Ace Hobbies prices, not the Japanese prices.

the car is coming with engine, header and pipe? or just an engine?

www.MugenRacing.com has pics (not CAD dwgs) of the MTX3 up now.:D

So the kit is gonna come with an MR-12 and a pipe+header? If it does come with a pipe+header, does anyone know what kind?
