About to go to our first eurocup meeting of the year tomorrow and i have decided to leave the evo as a wet car and go try everything with the 415 to make it exactly how i want it as its close as it is and i know if i work on it i can make it far faster than my evo 3. Well till the evo 4 comes out! lol Rick

There isn't a front diff for the 415 available. Yet.

Not this Sunday. I am still in Asia but will return next week. I will be going to SoCal next Saturday though.

Have you tried the 415 in stock yet?

Really? I am generally faster with the 415 in stock than the EVO3.

ok... here is my completed diff project. havent run it yet, but should be fine. it combines the 415 pulley and 3mm balls with Yokomo MR4TC rear set diff halves (thrust, rings, etc), and the rear drives from the same Yoke. i had to change front bearings to 11x6, which i found a Tamiya # for them, as no one else supplied that i could find. bolts right together... here is a pic:
keep in mind these diff parts are from the old Belt car, NOT the SD.

Nice TamiyaDriver... will look forward to the report.

I'm pretty fast with my 415 in Stock as well. Actually doin better with it than my Yok SD. But I have a few things to try out on the SD as well. More testing this weekend though.

Hi -

I thought I'd ask my question on this forum.

I was wondering if anyone knows the diameter of the ball that goes in the top part of the shocks. I am trying to retro fit a pair on another car and need the part that snaps into the top part of the damper.

If anyone knows the size or has a part number for the pieces I need that would be great.

I am looking for the piece that accepts a 3mm screw to attach it to the shock tower.

Thanks

Dave
