By the way guys, did any of you noticed that the RC positions on the 415 are very close to what they were on the very first TRF 414 ?

As I've got the old style shock towers, I tried them on my 414 and wow, the car felt much better suited for short tracks ! For lng tracks I feel like the long camber links of the M would help the car keep more cornering speed though.

Yes i have seen a pic in that bunch that seems to look like just one wide layshaft pulley for both belts.

Tould anyone happen to know what the part number for that pulley would be. That would be an easy fix to get rid of the one-way pulley on the layshaft. I already looked for this item at the Tower Hobbies website and could find nothing similar.
Thanks in advance!

I think that onepiece pully isnīt available yet. Maybe that pully was a prototyp made for this race. Surikarn and Maezumi were using this but I canīt tell from the pictures if Marc also was using the special pully.

they made the pulleys because of the rules of the race (ie : no one ways), it doesn't means they're going to release the part...

Yup, that is a one piece center pulley. I noticed that right away and questioned availablity, but no answers at this time.

I think the only reason I'd move to cali would be for the RC racing. Other than that.. I don't like it there. Too dry. Northern Cali might be fine though. Oh well, when theres rain... go to carpet... hehe...
