Hi Guys,
I had the MTX-2 out on my local track on Sunday dialling in the Centax clutch.
It had been raining during the day & a few puddles had formed.
I managed to avoid them for a while then splosh, high five, wipe out.
No response from my electrics!
Packed up & went home.
Stripped the car & let the electrics dry out.
Receiver was OK, but both servo's were fried!
I had thought of getting some digi servo's but at approx. $100 dollers each the above experience has turned me right off.
I only use cheap nasty servo's, Futaba S3003's.
In the case above does anybody think a digi servo would have survived? are they more watertight/robust?
Our weather in Ireland is very damp & wet, not good for electrics.
Any thoughts?

I have been racing the Mugen for awhile, I like it alot. But, I would go with the one that your hobby store has better access to parts...
The Mugen is a great car, but I am sure that the Yok is a good car also. I have never owned a Yol so I can't comment on any of their products. This is my first Mugen (had an HPI before) and it is much better than previous gas cars I have owned.

If you are asking the coil spring inside the centex then the spring is exactly the same as MRX2.

Chris, I do not know this to be fact because I haven't seen one yet, but I've been told the Centax on the pro kit comes with the standard spring and shoes, and the new "racing clutch set" comes with the heavy duty spring and light weight shoes. If you can track down Robbie Collins, I guess he would be the best person to confirm this.
While we're at it, has anyone tried the heavy duty spring and lightweight shoes on the MTX-2? I'm wondering if our .12s have enough power to make use of those parts noticeable and beneficial.

Tom, That is where I was heading. I was going to try to figure out if the .12 has enough for the harder spring. I have a bunch of them from my MRX3 and thought about giving it a try. Dennis' MT12 RTU was just dropped at my door. I am going to run it in in the morning.

Robbie does not know that much about the new Racing Clutch either. He has said that sometime the communication isn't what is should be between Mugen Japan and Mugen USA.
We beleive though that the new clutch comes with the lightened weights, Heavier spring and the Gray clutch shoe.

The pinion gear (selling separately) it has not belonged to this racing * clutch set. Adjusting to each chassis, please select. The D0603 thrust bearing /C0603 clutch bearing has belonged. The clutch spring hard / clutch shoe of option (Gray) / spreads width of set with such as ÇåÇ~ÇÄǢǣÇ~ÇÄǨÇç shoe.
