You guys are so funny sometimes.
Has anybody from Mugen Seiki Japan ever posted anything in this forum in the past oh, say 3-4 years? How about anybody from Kyosho?
When it comes to communications, IMO, Mugen Seiki Japan has always been at the bottom of the list. Kyosho, XRAY, Serpent* and even Team Magic are all better at communicating information about their products.
My point is, unless you hear it directly from Japan, any rumors - or what dealers do and don't know (or claim they do or don't know), is somewhat irrelevant. I don't quite know what to think when someone says Mugen isn't this or that, or that this product is or isn't coming - unless it's coming from the source. Until I see a picture of an MTX-5 in a magazine, at a toy fair - or in some type of track side spy photo, as far as I'm concerned, an MTX-5 product or prototype doesn't exist.
Does anybody really think that Mugen is going to tell all the dealers that it's going to stop producing 1/10th on-road racing products? Does anybody think that Mugen feels obligated to tell it's dealers that an MTX-5 is or isn't coming?
There is only
one guy who posts here that I would ever believe when he says anything about Mugen on-road products. And we all know who that is.
It doesn't really matter. Everyone can having fun speculating. Nothing wrong with that!

When Serpent moved to Asia doesn't count, as that was about their company, not about specific products.
