also in about 2 weeks or so brookly hobbies will have new front upper arms and ball ends that will use a 4mm turnbuckle and replace the 3mm also the 4mm ball end and arm will be made of stronger plastic this should take care of the problem with the weekness, but if your not happy with that and your a driver that taps boards alot throu on the mrx4 front end... and dont use the 1mm washer under the steering rod on the knuckle
I was told by a VERY good source that the reason the radio box was moved was because of the lack of air flow over the clutch/clutch bearings. It appeared some of the Euro guys were having high bearing failure due to too much heat, and not enough air flow over that area.
