It is.

It appears that Tamiya have corrected a typo on their website. They spoke about a front motor mount when they meant diff joints.

Looks like a cut and paste error with the word motor mount appearing for the Ta05 further down their list of new parts.

hey tamiya guys,
i have a few questions for you all. im thinking of getting rid of my yoke bd and getting a tamiya 415. now if i ask some noob questions im sorry but no one has a 415 in my area so i have no idea about them really.

first question is what is the difference in the ms and msx? i know the msx has more hop-ups of course but is it a big difference?

second question is any idea for a new tamiya coming out in the near future? dont want to get one and they have another one come out alittle later.

third question is other then speedtechrc.com where are some websites that have there parts for them.

forth question is how good are the quality of the cars. i mean if i would hit something hard would i brake it or would it keep going.

thanks guys for your help!

The diff is that the MSX is an upgraded model to the MS and it has lower CG than the MS.

You could try Rainbowten or Champ RC.Both are japanese. Very good service.

After the worlds,there maybe a new kit (I feel) or just updates to the current car. But rumours of a 416 floating around...??

And The build quility is standard of Tamiya. Very good.... I can't remember braking anything thus far. Other then normal wear and tear of parts.

The MSx is a very good car. Worth every cent...

Difference is that the MSX has a lower CG design compared to the MS.

I guess after the worlds they could be releasing another kit or up dates for the current 415.

You could try Rainbowten

The trend seems to always be the Reedy Race. You'll see the parts there with conversions coming out. Then by December the new upgraded kit comes out. 415 to 415MS did this. Same as the 415 MS to 415MSX. So now it's the 415 MSX to ??? ???

Maybe this is the steering system that we have been seeing on the team driver's MSX chassis.

As long as I can use my current inventory of spares from my MSX and the up-grade kit is $200.00 vs having to buy a new car kit with a price of $400.00, I'm down wit it!

You ask some good questions. If you come on here to view about the 415/MSX, you might get confused on all the mods that guys are doing. My MSX is bone stock and I am doing very well with it. I bought all of the extra parts that I might break and then some. I have only replaced the steering tie-rod to Lunsford Ti. The car flat out works. Your track might differ from everybody else track, so try the kit set-up first and get comfortable with it before changing anything. You will be very satisfied with changing to Tamiya. I guess Tamiya likes to tinker with their top touring cars, and we benifit from that. Ys, they change their model frequently. Look at XRAY. Nuf said. And I have bought from Speedtechrc as well as Tamiya USA ($$$). The Yoke is a good car though. Are you not happy with it? Good luck.

Just a quick note guys, my 415 with the MSX kit is up for grabs in the for sale section. Almost enough spares to build a 2nd car.

my apologies in advance, I know this has been requested before but here goes nothing,
Does anybody have a link on the 415 manual, Just getting ready to trade my TA05 to a 415 and the guy that owns it does not have a manual. Any help is much appreciated.

TNX,
CCT
