Greg from what some MTX5 racers were telling me at the track it seems the 5 has some quality control issues. ie my car was a tank, no broken diffs, gears or spurs, whilst others fast guys and slow guys were breaking stuff. some people are lucky, some aren't with the car. This might point to mugen having Quality Control issues.
the mugen trackside seller told me that he measured a 2 speed shaft and it had three seperate measurements at each end and the centre, whilst another racer said he had one shaft which fitted bearings while with another he was unable to put the bearing through.
Maybe it isn't the car or the design, so much as it is the quality control.
I've also found the plastic to be soft. for example i was lowering the front arm pins and when i was winding down the grub screw it threaded itself with little to no pressure. i probably screwed the grubs screws in and out maybe 4 times in the two races i've used the car
