Tamiya TRF415
4mm chassis
Would any USA based 415 driver like to buy me a 4mm chassis when it is released and ship to me in the United Kingdom? This item won't be available in the UK and only from tamiyausa.com to USA based people.
I'd pay upfront by Paypal to a trustworthy user
Cheers.

I hope Tamiya Japan will release this 4mm chassis in the future so everyone who owns a TRF415MSX could buy the chassis.

Anyway, my first impressions of the MSX R2 are tremendously positive. The 4mm chassis will be a great addition, but it still works without it. I did have a problem with the 42mm drive shafts popping out of the front diff. 46mm shafts are too long for the foam tire mod and bind the suspension. I'm going to build the Yokomo front diff to see if it is any different than the Jergen (I think I spelled that right) aluminum diff. Anyone tried both?
Thanks sohlman. Are you running HPI Pro4 steering knuckles and Corally steel bones like me? Or something else? I see that you are running the Jergen diff. I've never run them before. I'm using a Yokomo diff right now. And with the D/D blocks up front, the ends come close to the end. But not enough for me to worry. I'll have to check it out again tonight....

Would anyone be able to mill the ta04 arms to fit the MSXR2 kit so you can have a range of wheelbase adjustablity?
A lot of people have found that the old supension is far more consistant on carpet rubber than LW though you would put a faster lap on LW supension.

Can't wait for my MSX to get here. BTW anyone have an extra locked center pulley they are willing to spare. Don't want to make an overseas order for just one small part.
One hint on using the older suspension on MSX... you could run the SS hardened arms up front to shorten the wheel base...

It worked. With the Yokomo front diff mod you can use 46mm Tamiya aluminum drive shafts #53724 (or steel) with Tamiya ti axles #53681 (or steel) and the HPI Pro 4 knuckles. Put a .6-.7mm shim behind the axle and .5 shim on top of the knuckle...done.

A couple of UK drivers have already contacted Tamiya USA and we have been told it will only be sold to US customers and they will not sell it to any one that is not living in the USA.
Here is my favourite Rubber Carpet setup!!
What kind of Servo Meazumi uses? It is a Kopropo but I need the whole name. I want to have it too
Thanks a lot!
