The only place I've seen it is at the RC Mushroom site, which is in HK.

I'll check out the cyclone ones. Dang I just missed their free shipping deal. Thanks.

HP75187 PRO4 Universal axles (NOT the MIP CVD ones)
The reason is HPI have stopped supporting the MIP CVD style and are moving to these new ones that are similar to the Cyclone ones. Maybe there is a slight lag between japan and the USA and onyl japan has the new ones yet, like probably HPI USA has still the MIP ones in stock.

Default about trf415 parts compatibility.

hiya folks!
i have a spare 415 chassis ( the original one).
is it possible to mount the MSX conversion kit on it? or do i need to get the LE chassis?
i already have reversible arms on my current car.
if anyone can shed any light on this, i would really appreciate it.
thanks.

Hi, are you trying to download them from links on here? if so, they won't work anymore, as I moved the files as part of the site update.
Try these instead

Universal Spring Chart

Toe-in Blocks

I don't have any info on the TA05 I'm afriad, although from what I understand, it's probably not far off a 415 fitted with the older suspension.

BTW guys and gals, the new setup section is up, hopefully it'll make it easier to find a setup you want. I do have a load of setups to add (Martin Crisp's IIC's, TRF415boy's, and some guy named Dave Spashet...), that next on the agenda. Again, if anyone has anything to contribute to the site, just send me an email or pm me

HiH
Ed

EDIT - Fixed the excel document link prob on the site, should all work fine and dandy now... cheers for pointing it out.

Yup, perfectly possible. All the bulkhead mounting holes are in the same place, so there will be no trouble fitting the conversion... hell you could do as Marc R did (and some on here do) and run it with the old suspension

HiH
Ed
As Ed says the old chassis works perfectly with the MSX conversion but I also was not sure before I bought the kit.
I´m not Marc R but I also run the 3mm chassis and the old suspension with the MSX kit.
Using the thicker chassis maybe there also is less chance of tweaking. At least I didn´t have until now.

This is my 415MSX or maybe better said 415X as I´m not using a MS chassis or supension.
Some things were changed since this picture but I have no newer one.
