You don't really need them, but there are two holes in the centre that will take an m3 nut to stop the battery hitting the belt in the event of a crash.

Thanks Craig.

Which one do you recommend the LP 2.3 chassis or the FX 2.2 chassis?

Anyone try the 417 chassis with the 416 yet?

You need way to many parts, I looked into it. Bulkheads, motormount, steering link bridge, top deck, center pulley assembly, other things i'm forgetting.

2: I have read a coupel off place that Hpi springs are best than tamiya ones, for aspalt is this right?

3: Iam racing under 1350g rules, so can help out with a link to balance my car?

1. Smokem FX or the stock chassis is best for asphalt, if the grip is low then definitely the smokem.
2. Correct, blue and silver are most common, pink and gold are also sometimes used.
3. It depends on your electronics, but with flipped belts you should be able to get it balanced pretty easily at that weight.

Hi,

New to the TRF scene, just bought a 416X, would like to know how does the flip belt trick works (how to do it).

What tools do you recommend to work on that car?

Best regards

you need the lipo chassis, tamiya or smokem and rebuild the car but flipping the belts and pulleys when you put it back together, very simple but you need the lipo chassis to do it

Do you have a part number please for that chassis???

The tamiya LiPo conversion is like gold dust, but I'd certainly recommend the smokem chassis.

If your feeling really cheap though, you can just use the standard X chassis, and remove some material from underneath the where the flipped pulleys sit.

Both are great for asphalt. Exotek has more secure battery hold ins. Pretty important for tracks with lots of boards.
We also have a 2mm chassis option for very low traction conditions.

The LP is a little on the stiff side, the stock chassis is better on most tracks.

If I had my belt flipping time over again I would just dremel the stock chassis, the lipo conversion really wasn't worth the $$'s
