is it viable for the steering servo also? or not a good idea.

Its not really viable for the steering servo. The servo would be able to tip sideways under the extra loads from the wheels pushing back in the corners.

Oh, and it looks just like my car.

Mannie, the last 3 years I've known you, this is the most standard car you have had (no hop-ups).

Does the car come with the digital transponder mount?
Moon - do you have a digital transponder, I couldn't see it in the pics? Where is it mounted?

I saw a pic of someone's car that had both the switch and transponder mount in place. The switch was actually upside down, but it worked. Luckily, just about all of our immediate tracks run AMBrC transponders, so I can use my switch.
I have to agree with NR, I think that's the "stockest" car I've seen Mannie own.
Mine is built, but because of the snow I can't even get it broken in. I hate to think I've got to wait until spring to run this thing!!! The only hop-ups I plan to put on are front universals, aluminum chassis brace, and aluminum hex hubs. I'll probably put the teflon pads on as well. I want to see how the stock pads do, but I've put teflon on my MTX-2 and MRX-3. So I figure my MTX-3 will need it also.
Has anyone measured the wheel hexes? Aren't they the same size as the MTX-2 hexes? They look the same to me. It doesn't make sense to me that Mugen would release a set of hexes specifically for the MTX-3 if the MTX-2 hexes would fit.

The car you can see from the pic has alloy hex, TI screws and Ti mid shaft
I had alloy mid bearing block and rear alloy upper deck support installed last night !

The MTX2 hex wont fit on MTX3.

I thought about the ti shafts, but 2 people have already told me their ti shafts were "twisting", they went back to the stock shafts. I know of one company that's working on hollow steel shafts; hopefully they'll be a little better. If they are, I'll probably get them.
