hey guys
ive installed the sakura gear diff in the rear of my standard trf415.
the thing is the rear pulley fits but is tight and provides some resistance and same as the front pulley, the front belt is looser than rear but still has resistance
i am running 37t rear pulley 16t mid pulley and front 37t pulley and i dont want to change the center pulley.
Can you please tell me the correct belts that will fit 100% i need to buy them for next weekend.
thanks

Hy

There are xray belts available.

3x180mm wich is 60T (1t more)
3x183mm wich is 61T (2t more)

If you wont change the center pulleys then get the 3x180mm one for rear.

Since it is hard to get parts these days, and finding a 415 MRE/MSXX direct centre pulley/spur mount is near impossible, does anyone have a spare one, or have any alternatives to mount a 18/19T centre pulley which is easily available?

Thank you for that Blueman, I have found two stores in Australia that have that part as well, just waiting for them to open to make sure they actually have it in stock, not just the case they have it on their website but forgot to take it down. I will contact the German place if I have no luck

Arise from the dead 415 thread!

Need some help with fixing some oversteering issues I am having with my 415. I am running it in VTA/VTC with the HPI vintage tyres.

The track I am racing on is outdoors asphalt which is a tight, small low grip track. And racing is at night. I'm running a Reedy 21.5T brushless motor in it.

My current setup is:

Front and rear springs: yellow
Front and rear sway bars: yellow
Shock oil (both front and rear): 40 wt
Front shock tower hole: 2nd in from the middle
Rear shock tower hole: 2nd in from the end
Shock plate: 3 holes

Front toe out: 2 deg
Front camber: -1.5 deg
Front caster: 4 deg

Rear Toe in: 2.5deg (XA front block, 1D rear)
Rear camber: -1.5

Front diff: spool
Rear diff: 3 Racing gear diff with 1500wt oil

Front droop: 5mm
Rear droop: 5.5mm

Ride height
Front: 5mm
Rear: 5.5mm

Most of the issue comes from power on oversteer coming out of corners, especially left handers. I have to be careful with the throttle or it spins like a top. Now I know the HPI Vintage tyres are supposed to be a bit crap in regards to grip, and racing at night (especially winter down here) with no tyre warmers is crazy, but the rest of the class can get away with it without too much trouble or handling issues in corners.

If anyone has some tips or ideas for me to try out, that would be great. Thanks

Hey im not the setup master these days but i can recommend possibly trying blue front sway bar and red rear sway bar seemed to help my 415 when i started. Also i think a blue spring on the front should help also, however other than that im not sure as im still learning setup and effects of each adjustment
let me know how you go

Try front toe-in set at 0°, yours is set at 2° toe out and that gives you a lot of insteer when turning into a corner.
Try also as mentioned by AleD123 to use at the front the blue (hard) sway bar and at the rear the red (soft) version.
I would also recommend to use Blue or white spring in front and yellow or red for the rear.
Use in front 1° camber instead of 1.5°.
About droop settings i would switch to 5 in front and 4 at the rear.
Perhaps you can raise the innerside of the front camber turnbuckles (at the front bulkheads), the higher this is the less increasing of the camber when moving upwarts.
And go lower on the innerside of the rear camber turnbuckle (this is optional).

What suspension mounts are you using in front and what kind of suspension arms?

Try some several things i mentioned and go from there.

Perhaps a spool up front would help with the over steer.

I'm not an expert when it comes to VTA setups, but here are my two cents:

Move away from the tamiya springs for asphalt racing. I like the Ride reds alot on the Tamiya.

I also feel you are a little soft. If you want to stick with tamiya, try blue yellow or white blue (front rear).

Reduce toe to 1 degree toe out.

I would run more camber in rear, like 2.0 or 2.5 even. Lower the inner camber links if you can.

For sure go softer on the rear gear diff, like 700cst.

If your car is inconsistent from left to right handers, make sure there is nothing completely off on your car. Like binding of arms, rubbing of a wheel in the body, a poorly glued tire, bad bearings etc etc. Also make sure your car is not tweaked and weight balance is even.

Your droop settings are also off. 6 in front, 5 in rear is standard.

hope this helps

If it's steering one way better than the other, make sure you don't have any chassis tweak, and that your springs are all preloaded correctly.

I'd say before trying anything too drastic, try lengthening your front camber links so you get less camber gain as the wheel compresses or put some shims underneath the inside of your front camber links to alter your roll center. You can also lighten the rear diff oil
