This is mainly a 0.8 pitch gear problem that I have had. When I had my MTX-2 with the 1.0 pitch gears, not a problem. The same with my MTX-3 (which I still have as a backup) with the 1.0 pitch gears. However, when I changed the MTX-3 over to the 0.8 pitch gearing, I started having that problem and occasionally have the same stripping issues with my MTX-4.

If they do come with the new car, I will eventually get it. I have been running Mugen since 2001 (MTX-2, MTX-3, MTX-4, MRX-4R, MBX4-XR Works, MBX-5) with good success, so, why change now? Team Magic, Serpent, Kyosho, Associated onroad cars, been there, done that. Each time, got rid of those and went back to the tried and true car that has given me success at club races, regional races, and series races.
