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.
The MTX5 is an excellent car if you cure the spur gear stripping. It's also incredibly planted at high speeds. I had mine for 6 months, ran it often with a stupid fast mm rbm3 and never flipped it over-not once!
