Be careful with the regulators. They have a tendancy to stop working. When this happens they short and the receiver gets a sudden 8.4v burst which goes through and destroys digital servos.

how does it help the handeling
for those who wore the one way hub like me and your lhs does not carry that part, the one way bearing is the ina hf0612, it comes on the one way bearing for pullstart of the hpi, ofna, traxxas and several other engines, just use a press and voila, I used the ones from old wore engines and got myself 3 one way bearings.

what do you like best oneway or front diff?
how come there is so hard to find a set-up suitable to run a front diff, all I see out there is a whole bunch of set-up sheets intended to run a front oneway, Does the MTX-3 show its better side running a oneway? I just got a used car that came with no instruction pamphlet nor set-up to go by!
thanks, O.R.

19t/16t pulley set-up...
Can someone please clear up the whole 19t/16t pulley/tire size issue for me. Some locals wear running this set-up and I was curious. There is a debate on what tire size front to rear you should run. Some say 4mm split other say 1.5-2mm split. I was under the impression the reason you would run this set-up was to even out tire wear, but if you are starting out with a split what is the sense. I myself never have suffered from a serious abnormal wear front to rear and always ran the stock pulley set-up, but would like to know the correct answer to this. Anyone with some info it will be appreciated.
Thanks.
Thanks.

The downside we have found with the 16/19 conversion is it is too much of a step and the rear tires wear excessively as a result. We went from 2mm over a whole day to a full set in 30mins just by changing to the 16/19 conversion.
If you are happy with the stock gears and getting good wear rate then I would really just stick with it.

Some of us found that a diff in the front created far too much understeer.

thank you Palmaris Europe I thought it was only me with the understeering issue! I am glad there is always someone willing to help

Hi
Just got a MTX-3, after racing a NTC3 for three years I think the MTX3 just looks bulletproof. But I know there is always a weak spot in every car.
I just want to know what do you people suggest me to stock as spare parts, in other words what breaks more often in the MTX-3?
Thanks

I'm using my mtx3 for 2 years now. The only thing that i replaced beside the belts, is the front upper arms and rear lower arms. Its not that its broken, it has small slop. Thats how tough mugen parts are.
