Non at all. It's actually really easy to put the battery in. Getting it out is more tricky. I put a bit of white grease on the case before removing the battery to make it easier.

I don't know if this is covered, but I found that the MSX-MRE comes with 7 "standard" ball-nuts (BC2), and 2 "short" ball-nuts (BB9). Yet the instructions make no mention of where the two "short" BB9 ball-nuts go.

I've read through the MSX-MRE addendum, it clearly shows the install of 8 of the standard length BC2 ones which is already 1 more than what's included. The 9th ball-nut would be for the servo saver, but that still leaves us with the question....

....WHERE EXACTLY DO THE TWO BB9's GO?

MSX-MRE manual for reference:

The BB9's go on the steering rack. There should be a small addendum sheet in the box detailing this change. Everything else is as per the instructions.

That would have been my guess. Thanks for the info. I bought the car used, so it didn't come with any papers...

Hey, secretsg. It Works !!!




I fited the lipo in with no problem at all, and I balanced it on 4 point scales.

check it out the gross weight O_0 !! Will give those xrays some hard time.

I finished it just before heading toward the Tamiya American Raceway today, but I couldn't find where the track is located(bump!).

i got a noob question on the 415. can you swap 415msx/msxx/mre bulkheads with a normal 415 bulkhead? cause it's easier to change pulleys with the new bulkheads

Do you mean the Tamiya track that was destroyed after Tamiya America moved out ?

Yes you canm but you will need new top deck, new shock towers, all the parts that fit on the top deck, etc... Might just be easier to get a second hand MSX type car...

I don't think you can do so unless you switch over the complete 415msx updeck or more.

the rear bulkheads is a whole set with motor mount on 415msx/msxx, not cheap neither!
