I read from the website that standard 415 won't fit the convversion kit.Only standard kits with the Long arm sus and MS will fit.

I guess the 415 MSX conversion is just a interim 'kit' before the announcement of the 416 next year. And hopefully the 416 will be the TRF version of the TA05

I also saw that. So if you are running a std 415 and you want to 'convert' the kit and yourself, you'd better of waiting for a new chassi (416?) or go for the yokomo BD. It is a little bit more expensive than the 415 msx conversion kit, but with the same extended maintenance qualities and lower CG.

bigest difference is the LWT suspension and the thickness of the chassis with the standard 415 being 3mm and the 415ms being 2.5mm.
