1. What's the internal drive ratio for the MSX?
2. What's a good final drive ratio?
3. A hole does not exist to mount the center aluminum brace (in front of the motor, that goes from the top deck to the chassis)...should I drill one?
4. Do the diff need a lot of breaking in?
Any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I've never run Tamiya and after building it, this car has excellent fit & finish. I hoping to run it on asphalt one day with rubber, but I've got plenty of nitro onroad obligations to contend with before I launch into another category. Thanks in advance.
Watch out Carl...

Watch out Carl...
Double check your wheel base width with a set of tires...May be too wide with both red and silver wheel spacers...
No need to break-in the diff...run it once and double check afterwards...my diffs have remained fairly consistent....run the front diff tighter than the rear.

Thanks Carl. Do you know a decent final drive ratio? I usually run very small foams...like 58mm or less. Looking forward to running it next weekend at the Jam. Want to go?

3mm Chasis
With the 415 does running a 3mm chasis make that big of a difference ? I currently run stock rubber with the standard suspension on carpet.

If you have the original 415 not the MS or MSX you already have the 3mm chassis.

Hey all,
I am currently running my 415MS with old school hard suspension. I have the D1 block in front (straight pins)and narrow hexes with a blue spacer and in the back are b and c-blocks for inboard toe in, narrow hexes and a blue spacer.
If I wanted to increase mechanical grip all around, would I run narrower inboard blocks and wider hexes or the opposite? Wider arms spacing and narrow hexes?
Thanks,
Ray
p.s. if anyone feels like giving a tutorial or a link to one-I am listening
