MTX 5

To this date, there are no known sealed, oil filled ball diffs available, except for the Awesomatix one that just came out. So time will tell if their design will hold. By the way, my tc4 ball diffs are still smooth after six years now, while racers are crying about blowing their spec-R diffs, which is being now replaced by countless other manufacturers...

I plan to use a ball diff in the rear of my new Ntc3, and I'll let you know how it's holding up....FBF in Brooklyn New York is where I will be competing against the Mtx5's...etc....I am sure there will be videos of me lapping you know who.....lol...

Just land mine yesterday and it's already feel-faster than my old NT1. It's much more agile with better acceleration (same engine).
I'm running following:
Tire: front 32 / rear 37
Spring: front Mugen blue / rear Mugen purple
Damper oil: front 500 1hole / rear 500 2holes
Damper pos: front 2nd from bottom / rear 2nd from bottom
Bar: i-forgot
Diff: front 300K / rear 60K
The car is super agile right now at entry, but a bit lack of consistent steering in mid. My friend say I drive way-too-fast than the corner should be so I don't know if it's driver or car. But I'm VERY happy with my new car

alot of people speak of these issues in this forum, i will let you know that you dont need to worry, mine havent leaked let alone broken... i think these people dont pay attention to assembly.. or they dont do a criss-cross screw pattern when assembling diffs ect..it would help if you have build a mugen before
