So JRGTR what team are you? are these guys actually sponsored drivers or self Sponsored, cause i've heard from a few that they are very tight on sponsorship these days, we do have a few sponsored Drivers here, from Kyosho,Novarossi,RB but that's about it. what we do have out here is the Xray NT1,RRR Kyosho and the evolva M3, Mugen MTX4, MRX-4X,Velox V10, as far as Serpent we only have two guys that runs the 200mm, no one run's the 1/8th, im still trying to make up my mind between the 966 or the P81, and being the only hobby shop on the Island the guys tend looks at what you drive before they invest.

well,same here i'm self sponsored,but thanks to a few local companies such as NAPA Auto-Parts some drivers get help, but otherwise is the same here, We have no Team Factory but Kyosho Europe that sponsored about two guys, but I've never been a Kyosho guy,i raced Serpent, and now Mugen 1/8th, i'm happy with the car but still need a better engine, i was thinking JP eagle or Power Max TQ9 , i have the New Picco P9, but found that my old XL 7max performed way better.

I know what you talking about, I allways have run mugen since the release of the mtx-4, I run os engines, pico,mr ninja and max pwr, my very favorite engines and fastest races ae with the max xxl3 and the mr ninja murnan modified, those 2 are my main weapons. the os and picco are for practice, the ninja for qualify and the maz pwr for the main, I am thinking to buy another mas xxl3!!! great engine and over all power!!!
, but i think i'll go for the TQ9 from MAX and run the XL 7 for Practice on my MRX4x.great car the MTX-4, i know they have the MTX-4R how does it perform ?, i had the older version
(2004 yeah that old) i wanted to try the NT1 but haven't made up my mind.

It perform better than the mtx-4, the same stability at highspeed cornering with better brakes and steering , I run mine's with the mugen mbx-6 new brake pads,futaba bls451 servos on steering and throttle,max power xxl3 engine with 2602 pipe and header,all titanium hardware(pivot balls,all links) and when I said turn the car turn, when I said brake tha car brake, when I said overtake the car overtake jajaja he is well trained!!! and I forgot I use capricorn clutch system , the aceletation with this system is out of this world!!! if you have the chance to get one of those clutch systems try one!!!

In Puerto Rico's case 80% of the driver's have an electrc car, but we race 1 time every two weeks on a parking lot with a portable system to assemble the track. the big races on the track are nitro cars, we invited the electric dudes but they never show at the track for events,the guys tha race electric only prefer parking lot racing than real track racing
