I know that the MTX5 is an older car and it may be updated soon. Is it difficult to get MTX5 parts? HB parts should be fairly easy to get. I’ve read about spur stripping issues with the MTX5 that can be remediated with a side brace. Anything else I should know about either car?

Thanks.
I've been using my R10 for about 12 months now. It handles really well and is a good tough car, i've never had the arms break. One major thing with the R10 is that the hole for the flywheel in the chassis is too small. The Mugen Pro Starter Box works well, but u have to have it set just right for it to work. Would be good to hear of someone else running an R10 on here though
