Thanks TryHard. So now, where can I find the right reference of the of the upper and lower top deck? In the manual, I find a reference, but it doesn't work on Tamiya web site.

Thanks again

Does anyone have a recommendation for a LiPo tray for the 416X? I've been using a Bitty one in my TA05MS and really like not having to muck around with tape. The Demon tray and strap look really good, but can't seem to find anyone that has them in stock.

Phil.

Must have been on the nice list

Although he did forget to include some different suspension blocks - 3deg rear toe is a bit much for 17.5, you think?

Hardest part now is thinking of a paint scheme for whatever body I pick up.

Quick question and should be an easy one...

Stuffed my WE into the boards nice and hard for the first time yesterday -- in the "after race" playing of course!

So, naturally I consumed the front/rear suspension block and both of the steering turnbuckles -- a good opportunity to upgrade.

The car came with the 1C front/rear block -- is the 54174 1C/1XC split block set the equivalent one?

I run this car in 17.5 and 13.5 sedan. While I'm at it would I see a straight-line speed or other benefit to changing to something other than the stock 1XA/1F blocks in the rear? (those yield 3.5°, right?)

Titanium turnbuckles for the steering -- are the 3racing ones good or should I stick with Tamiya?

Thanks!

You might pick up a 1D and 1E block for the rear to give 2.5 and 3 a try. I think most people find that running the least amount of rear toe needed is the best bet. 54174 is the 2pc replacement for the kit 1C block. Don't be afraid to try 1D/1D up front, it can really help settle the car down.

I picked up some Lundsford turnbuckles for my car. They're a lot cheaper than Tamiya. I just measured the existing ones and found the part that most closely matches the length.

54208 and 54209 appear to be fluorine coated hex ball connectors. Basically like the kingpins, but in the shorter lengths for camber links and such.

Thanks for the quick info. I'm going to try 1D/1D up front with split blocks at F/R and 1XA/1D in the rear.

Cheers!

No problem, good luck. You might want a 1E for the rear to give 3 degrees a try. To be quite honest, it seems to be the sweet spot for this car in most situations. The car is particularly sensitive to rear toe (and rear roll center under the blocks).

i think 415 axle and 416 axle are different. as for the swingshaft, 415MSXX MRE default is 46mm so this should be usable on the 416X but only the front. if you use it at the rear of 416X, it will hit the diff nut.
