If you can't find the MRE, the MSXX may be a better option depending on what you want, it comes with a center one-way as well as a front one-way. Also a thinner chassis that is 2mm, where as on the MRE its 2.5mm. The MSXX does not come with the titanium screws though. Other than that they are both great cars to run.

Any idea when.................
Tamiya is going to realease a predecessor to the 415?
yea granted the 415 is a proven chassis .... but could there be a change to the "Cookie cutter" chassis ?
I know Losi is thinking ..... outside "the box"
(my type R is killing my MRe on carpet)
could we expect Tamiya to try somthing radical ??? I know Xray would follow on the footsteps ... if you know what i mean :P....lol

Hey guys,
Ran my TA05R today at my club race and a just clipped a wall and bent one of my DJ pro module rear arms, out one degree.
Does anyone have a bent module they'd like to sell?
PM me if so.....
Thanks

No one said that titanium screws were necessary to run the car. Steel screws are cheaper to replace if you strip them, and that happens a lot unless you use good tools (hudy). The performance gain that you get from using titanium screws isn't going to change the car much...at all.

No point in a complete ti kit anyway, you want to stick with steel on the screws that go through the bottom of the chassis. This way you will not raise the Center of Gravity. Use ti on the 'top' of car.

Honestly I wouldn't waste my money on them, in screws, titanium is not that much lighter than steel(its weight is between steel & aluminum), & the strength gain isn't enough to really warrant spending that much cash on them, imo. I've stuck with steel & I see no need to go any other way, strong, reliable, & most importantly, affordable.....
will save my cash for some other RC spending instead...

STEEL vs. titanium!
I also would add if your going to do races that there are weight limits then stick with stainless steel but if you run where there is no minimum weight requirements then getting the car as light as you can is like free horsepower.
I would take advantage of any performance gains, since the screws have to be in the chassis anyway, why not spend a few more dollars to make the car lighter and quicker coming in and out of the corners? The average racer probably can't feel the difference but you'll have the potential of saving a few tenths on the lap times for sure!
Just my 2$
