No the rear diff will not fit the front. Front diff is 53921 and just put the TA05 ball diff pulley on it. I think that there is already a 1 way diff for the standard 415 available.

The things I am concerned about are not the major items like ESC for example, but the small things like lubricants, wires, bearing, and other accessories.
Please can you tell me if I am missing anything or if I should order one thing instead of another.
Why the stick pack shrink wrap? You cant run stick packs in the 415!

From what i understand this car is ready to be built as Marc had his car at the worlds, or close to it. But that set up is not the best for all situations/drivers. What i was wondering is could someone that has a kit, post what set up parts are included, ie rear hubs, suspension mounts, I know it has a spool and i think a solid layshaft. Also are the wishbones the standard lightweight, or the short ones?

Any info would be good.

Too bad you have to grind the steering unit a little!!! If you don't the unit will touch the front belt when you've reached the maximum steering angle. It really hurts ti damage the blue alloy, but you have to, else the belt will be broken within 10 accupacks. There is an image of the grinding on page 1 of this topic

Too bad Jay, unless you want to go drifting with you MRE, you need to grind! I also tried to adjust the steering rate, but it didn't work out. Believe it or not, but you have to damage the nice blue stuff!!!!

Does anybody knows if the spurgear that's comes with the MRE is 64dp?? I tried an 35 pinion on it with a 12t motor, but it seemed like the pinion was a little too big..

If its a 102t spur part number 51056 then it will be 0.4 module rather than 64dp.
