still in one piece, me and my mtx-3.

Bandeira, You are quite right, it should have lasted longer. My comments were based on statistics. Which servos have I seen fail over the years....
The futaba 9402 should have lasted for a long time, as it is an excellent servo. I have had good, expensive servos fail before. The operating environment is quite severe, and even teh good stuff can fail. You are less likely to experience such a failure with the brands mentioned.
I too have reservations about digitals. I do like the extra holding power around center though.
Beware, MOST of the hitec digitals I have sold failed in short order.
They (hitec) do offer some that are reliable. I have had good luck with the 945's for instance.

By the way... That track looks AWSOME! I am envious.

We want you back!:flaming:

we took it of ours as it made the lap times slower
think the engine is bull sh*t, no gain and too hard to set bottom end up

What did you do to Alfonso?????

Awww, that's so sweet of you to say that :-))

We just moved into our new home in Germany and got internet connection.

I found two permanent onroad tracks so far, but the racers there only seem to play with 8th scales.

Guess I just keep aggravating them with my little car until somebody wants to race with me:(

Later y'all

NOTHING!!!

He got the mother of all sun burns all by himself, despite my warnings about the sun in Ft.Myers in February.

I guess we would have to ask the new wife, why he isn't showing up here anymore;)

My MTX-3
 

I'm happy to say that I'm a proud owner of a Mugen MTX-3!!! I bought the car on Tuesday(9-14-04) from a man named Henry. He is such a good person, and I was originally going to buy one of his older ones from him about a month ago. At the time he had about four, and he had to get rid of them. I was awaiting payment for my XRAY, and when I finally got the paypal money, Henry was selling his last Mugen. His price was originally $450 W/ car, engine, servos, and a box-o-parts. I guess he felt that I waited long enough, and since I was trying to deal with him for a car for a while, he slashed the price to $350!!! I IMEDIATELY sent him the paypal, and He dropped the car off the next day at my mom's job!!! Kind people really do exist!!! Anywho, I have to pick up some O'donnel 30% soon...

Here's what I got...
1)Mugen MTX-3(uh...duh?)
2)Mugen X12 engine, header, and REX pipe
3)BRAND new TRC's and enniti's (both complete sets)
4)Original boxes(car and engine) in perfect condition
5)plastic "thingy" w/ extra plastics(parts), springs, sway bars...

The engine from what im told has been just broken in, and the car is C L E A N, has no scratches, and no bent parts YET
:D

Anywho...

Re: My MTX-3
 

Good for you son.. now your MTX-3 is meant to be on the tracks not on the bed!! :sneaky: :sneaky: :D

Have a ball of fun yeah! :smile: :smile: :nod:

YIKES!!!
 

Ya' got Loosi XXX-S shocks on there!

Did it come with the original shocks?

Hopefully cause to get the same setups from other MTX-3 drivers you would need the stock shocks.

But then again, if it works good with the Loosi shocks and you have a good understanding of car set-ups then leave 'um on.


Excellent deal though :nod: !

Hi guys..I am going to buy an MTX-3 soon...i will be using MX 3 as the transmitter and the servo comes along with the tx..i will be using ReX RER12S5...issit good enough for a beginner?I am pleased to receive many comments from u MUGEN guys!Do give me critics and advices!:D :smile: :nod: ....MUGEN 4VA!!:flaming: :flaming:

I enjoy my MTX-3 a lot! I had a NTC3 before this one and it was good for a beginner, but the MTX-3 is nice. If you are going to build it yourself the instructions are not the best. But if you can follow pictures and basic instructions (they dont say a whole lot) you should be good. It took me a week to build my Prospec since i work full time. It was easier than i thought. I think you will be pleased with this car.

I bought the same TX when I got my car. The only bad thing is those servos wont last too long, especially in the steering after a few hits. It'll work fine for the throttle but it is a little low on torque so the brakes are a little week. Other than that you're set. Good luck

ARGH!!!
 

THANK YOU GUYS FOR STARTING A NEW TOPIC IN MY TOPIC!!!:flaming: No, I'm just kidding:D I just wanna hear about my situation. Project D-why could'nt you start a new thread???:confused: No I guess my glory is over:o
