the spur is going to be really easy to change Rod becuae it@s similar to the MY02R....can you say spur change in a min or less

To me the car looks great, similar to a YM34-Si in layout.

IMO the 414 is a great car but every other car I own uses a side by side cell layout, if you just slap an in-line cell chassis on a 414 you will get major balance problems, the off-set motor addresses this issue. I like it!

Thumbs down Tech MY02

I don't know what you guys think.
But it seem to me that this 415? is a copy from Tech MY02R except that is uses all tamiya parts.

well there's only so many ways to design a car, and there no point just making another variation of the 414, a newer/different take on chassis layout ensures more sales.

It's scheduled for jan/feb according to rainbow ten.

The car has an awesome look, but I'd really have liked to see new suspension arms, yeah those one works and they're bulle proof, but let's say, it would be more exciting...

Also, I'm not keen on this kinda mass balance, too much weight on the sides, the car will take a lot of roll.

What I like ? The look, the new bigger pulleys (for sure they're bigger), the lower masses. Dunno if I'm gonna buy it, I have some other projects about 414's.

looks like they got some ideas from Kai and Mirage on this one. I might buy one, if not I'll just get a Barracuda.

Yeah, it looks like the top ends are a little shorter. I don't how much difference that makes tho. Thanks for pointing that out.
