Just thought I'd give you guys a brief race report from Tuesday night.

When I put the car on the track, the rear end kept slipping again! Even though the track is very dusty this is still no excuse. I played with the swaybars a bit, but still no luck. I finally gave up and took off BOTH swaybars. The car handled like it was on rails! Although if I swerve through the S turns the car would eventually break loose, but it was better than before.

The race ended early (each class only got 1 heat down) because of lap counting software issues (damn JLap).

Default Stabilizer

Hi all,

I bought the 415msx and I found out that the kit includes only one kind of stabilizer (front yellow and rear red).
I'd like to buy all remaining stabilizers. Do anyone know if the stalizers for TA05 are compatible with the 415msx?

Thanks in advance

itried to fit my stabilsers from the 415 on a TA05 and they're not even close. I think it hits the springs.

I ran my car out on the street today for a couple of speed passes and I noticed under hard acceleration (full throttle instantly), there seems to be a "scraping" or grinding noise. This also happens under heavy braking.

Any ideas?

You should be able to get the roll bars from the 415 separately, there are 3 stiffnesses: red, yellow and blue from softest to stiffest. But to be honest, you won't really need the roll bars, I tried the car with them and took them off, every time i tried putting them back i didn't like it.

I found only the rear stabilizers which are sold as hopup - not front :-(

Think it could be a very low body shell...Probably cut a little of the bottom of your body shell and see whether still is there the scraping noise...
