Greetings,
I too have an MTX3 as my first nitro tourer, and whilst I am still bitching about the engine (I need a starter box!), indeed comparing how the car handles *on rubber*, the stock setting's handling feels very similar to my trf414m. I have tried V1rs and impulses before, all off 'em had quite boring reaction timing in the corners. Whereas the MTX3 was able to do chicanes and hairpins like my 414m. This is bad. I may actually want to race nitro!!!!
Agreed. I'm almost giddy. For one, I don't know if it's this MR12 or the drive ratio of this car, but this thing is friggin FAST! It felt as quick as my modified pixie and It had two tanks in it!

I'm running 25% more steering travel (based on my radio epa) than I was on V1RR and this thing handles more like an electric than a nitro. I'm hooked.

Robbie I'm going to sell 5 kits for you this weekend when I spank everyone's tail with this car What to do with my Kyosho's now?
