i seen those stands not long ago but wasnt too conviced, looking at your pics though they do look rather sweeet!!

So seeing as the 415 suspension conversion is out of stock, has anyone written up a parts lists needed to do it yourself??

Also could a shop like speedtech ( steve ? ) market there own conversion kit if you got the parts to make one?

thanks

I can't read Japanese but, here is a quick rundown on what the box says:

Suspension arms - 4
Hub Carriers - 4 (2 2deg and 2 4 deg)
Front Uprights - 2
Rear Uprights - 2
Steel Swing Shafts - 2
Aluminum Swing Shafts - 2
Wheel Axles - 4
Cross Joints
950 Ball Bearings - 8
Droop Screws - 4
Ball Head King Pins - 2
One-way cup joints - 2
Ball Cups (adjusters)
Spacers (shims)

You can probably goto R10 or something to see how much all these parts would cost, I am sure SpeedTech can put something together.

I just heard on Saturday that Tamiya is now making more 415 kits, so they are back in production.

All of that will = major $$$ if you try to build it your self.... much cheaper to wait till tamiya makes a few more even if they say they are "limmitied"

I agree.

I bought my kit from an eBay store a few weeks ago:

RL0725 eBay Store

If anyone is interested, email him, he might have some left. He ships fast too, 4 days after I ordered it was at my doorstep/

Good luck,

John
