It'd surprise me I think, especially as Surikarn seems to go better with the belt cars. Remember, he won the WC with the 414 and he was winning heaps when running the 415. He didn't win the Worlds when running Evo4.
True, but he did make the Amain with it.
Also, I thought I also read somewhere that he prefered shaft cars over belt? I dunno.. rumors.. hehe... Didn't his mechanic at Tamiya (evo IV designer leave and go to HPI, and he followed?)

Kilruf - this is true. I actually rate his drive at the 2004 Worlds very highly, esp as the car had barely been used and was heating up the tyres more then the others. However, he does seem to have dropped since his TRF days.
What finial drive do you guys start at for 19t? Its a preaty short track. I was thinking like 6.0?
Thanks

I always thought that if they made the TA05 a TRF car it would be preaty good being mid motor and all. Or if tamyia made a carbon chassie for it

I have got to say, I am impressed by the looks of that Kyosho car. Very nice indeed. But lets not have RED take over a BLUE thread.

Hey guys, I just acquired a 415 MSX and I'm looking for a front spool. Anyone have one they would like to sell or can point me in the right direction for one?
What's the largest spur that can safely fit the MSX?
I did a search and found that 112t will fit on the older TRF415 std. I tried that on the msx and spur gear protruded under the chassis.

About rumors, I'm pretty sure Tamiya won't let Rheinard go before the worlds so that's nothing to worry about.
