thanks mr. sam!btw, about the mtx-3, i'm thinking about keeping it and making it an outlaw car and the mtx-4 will be my legal car. but don't feel bad (i know you like the car so much
) because there's a bunch of them on ebay and they come with goodies like servos and motors

To the guys that are getting/building MTX-4's. I just wanted to let you know that promatch has their GP 1100 flat RX pack on sale for only $9.99. I ordered two of them and with shipping it was under $24. Not a real big deal, but I know many of you will need new batteries to go with your new cars.

Did anyone notice the front belt being slightly to long? I doublechecked everything twice and everything is built correct, it's still slightly loose even set it to the tightest position. It should be ok now, but I can't obviously get it any tighter now (car has not been ran yet, this will happen this afternoon).
Other then that, I'm very impressed by the MTX4!

I ran the car yesterday for the first time, the belt didn't skip or anything like this but it feels very loose. I do not think that Mugen planned it to be like that to be honest.
Car ran fantastic with the kit setup, good traction, good balance...

I do actually think the rear shocktower is flexible for a reason!
flexible = less likely to break
I do have a long background to break rear shocktowers on the R40, I did try using double rear shocktowers there (glued two regular ones together) and that didn't make it better.
Let's first see how long the stock one lasts before considering an upgrade...
But one thing kind of annoys me about the rear shocktower anyway, which is the body post position when using a PF Mazda 6.
