Technical Upgrade for Competitive MTX-4 Setups

The 3Racing MTX4-0816 is a competition-focused 16T 1st gear manufactured from hardened aluminum to improve drivetrain consistency on the Mugen Seiki MTX-4. It is intended for tuners who need dependable mesh and predictable power transfer during race runs.

Technical Highlights of the 16T 1st Gear

  • Material: Hardened aluminum chosen to balance durability and rotating mass for responsive gear engagement.
  • Compatibility: Precisely made to match the Mugen Seiki MTX-4 gearbox interface and mounting points.
  • Performance: Reduces irregular wear and helps maintain an even contact pattern for stable drive characteristics.
  • Application: Suited to racers refining gear trains and setup parameters for consistent lap times.

How should I set gear mesh with this part?

Start with a minimal clearance and gradually widen until you achieve a quiet, even contact pattern under load. Verify mesh after a short test run and adjust shims if necessary.

Does this gear change tuning recommendations?

Because the material reduces wear, you may be able to maintain optimal mesh for longer. Continue to monitor backlash and drivetrain temperatures as you would with any upgrade.

Any installation tips for race preparation?

Ensure all mating surfaces are clean, set mesh carefully, and re-torque fasteners after initial running. Keep a close eye on tooth condition during practice sessions.
