I think the new Enneti uses the same rubber as GRP also but on a diffrent rim and better pricing.

yeah i've seen the car run and atm I would say I need to see something more to make me jump.
I talked to one of the distributors and the cg is supposed to be much lower (the engine does look like it practically sits on the chassis). It also has bearings designed along pivot points for the arms.
It looks very trick and well madel but at 325 dollars I'd probably want a little verification that it actually makes the car better. I'm hoping to get the distributor here to let me drive his car next time out so I can learn more.

patelladragger,
Thanks for the info. The pics look pretty cool, but like you said that price is pretty steep.
I just emailed the disti to see if I can buy just pieces, like the motor mounts. ...lowers the motor by 3mm Must be a chassis and motor mount combo thing.

MRX-3 aluminum pulleys
Having numerous problems with the Kawahara alum. pulleys- grub screw strips out and breaking/stripping more belts than usual. Went back to the stockers. Save your dough if you're thinking about a set.
Also saw a great tip at MRX3.com regarding bumpers for the Mugen. If you bend it, try boiling it for a bit. Viola-new bumper. Cool trick. Great site if you guys haven't been there yet.

Kawahara brake rotor
Which brings me to another thought. I'm currently also using a Kawahara brake rotor, but have noticed my brakes really suck lately. Anyone else use this rotor? Is it my rotor or is it time for new pads?

WHY DOES 1/8 HAVE TO COST SOOOOO MUCH! I can't even get into it.

1/8 off road is cheaper tha 1/8 on road.....believe me.
If you don't have the wallet for 1/8 off road then don't think about 1/8 on road.

Wow, I can't imagine a track as big as KZ is. KZ is freaking HUGE.
