At least I have confirmation since it concurrs with what i have. But the second measurement can't be 28.5mm then, must be 18.5mm since if I put 28.5 I end up with the hole next to the third cell and a diagonal measurement of 32mm...Hey thanks for the help mate, does that looks good to you ?

ANybody see the pics of the new xray T2? Look shockingly similar to the msx

the first T1 used the same layout as the 414M, then the FK05 was like the 415/MS.... now the FK06 looks like the 415msx!
hmm, a pattern perhaps??

don't think that's composite carbon material on the suspension parts

Hey guys, does this look like a new rear hub from Tamiya?

BTW, this is Satoshi Maezumi's car.

Not like tamiya's is any worse or anything. I can't seem to bend nor break the plastic. Darn tie-rod or kingpin gives before anything. maybe they should market it as "spring plastic" - stronger than metal!
I wonder if any of those T2 parts will fit this ol 415. Would be easier since they will be in stock locally.

I can confirm that it is a 'RC-Square' Option Hub.

Nothing really new, just copied and they still keep some bad design from the old car.
A MSX or Cyclone is a different animal in my opinion.

But my parts situation's quite the contrary to yours.....Tamiya parts are silly-easy to get here in California compared to Xray, which is most likely why I'll be sticking with Tamiya

Right the measurement front to back is 20.5mm or around that. Dunno where 28.5mm came from.
Here are some pics of my MSX. I will get some better ones in good light tomorrow.
Also Xray are good at cloaning winning kits now, pitty they never win anything with them as the competition is always one step ahead
