Mugen and Kyosho must have a warehouse full of light blue springs

Interesting clutch

Also, when you look at the gap between the pipe and car, you reliase how narrow it is

Looks like the car is more than ready!

Oh hello sexy...


My first thought is I'm gob smacked by how good it looks (in highly functional ways), and by how close it looks to the CAD pictures.

There is so much in those pictures about what I want in a nitro touring car, and that rear diff is so tiny right down to the pulley size, oh I so have to have one, I waited and I'm so glad I did...

a new clutch again

i is soooo getting one...

Finally, Mugen has entered the room!!!! The car looks very nice. My only concern is the lack of a brace on either side of the engine. Hopefully it will not flex there like it did on the MTX3 and MTX4. Looks like a Christmas purchase for me!!!!

Cant wait to run touring again !

looks exactly to mrx5 optional clutch but in smaller size

At last!!! the profecy is true!!! the wait is over!!!
Dear Santa!
I NEED for Xmas a New MTX-5!!!
Hell yeah!!!
who wants a HK-1 In very nice conditions and with all upgrades!!!

Interesting to see that Mugen choose to mount the battery on the left side of the tank. Should be interesting to see what that will do to left-right weight distribution.

Kindest regards,
Lars.

I think I remember the current gen Nitro touring cars would be balanced L/R with approximately 30grams on the pipe side using full size servos.The 5 uses both servos laid down and the receiver on that side so it kind makes sense to move the battery and it makes room for the adjustable weight running in the middle of the chassis.The 733 crew should know more about this as the Serpent shares a similar layout.

parts lists and kit pricing will be available next week, release for america, late september, have your LHS backorder from mugen racing as the first batch will go fast, full support for parts will also arrive>
