We found the stock ones gave too much camber change and wore the inner edge of the tyre and overheated them. the above tyres have done a 15 min final on an med abrasive track. note:- talking about rubber tyres!


below is the 5mm one.
i now prefere the lower ball one as i can add spacers as needed.



the other option that alot of rubber drivers are doing is adding the MTX2 rear hubs to the rear of the MTX3! gives more tuning options.
personally i find the cut ones as good. what your aiming for is to get the outer top link ball in the same dimension as the outer top link on the MTX2 read hub. i ran this when i got the first mtx in the uk, even though i told everyone why my car was god no one listened till now!!
i now have low rear trye wear, no overheating (unless im really pushng hard) and a good balanced rear!

hope this helps
Thanks for the info cartman!

BTW, what inner camber link hole do you use?

Thanks again!
