We just got word that we will receive more 415MS soon (double the quantity of our original 2nd batch order) so the Pre-order is open once again for the 415MS. And all pre-order still receive a titanium screw kit included with the kit

Also, like MadJack mentioned, we are soon to have our first shipment of Kai graphite components for the 415 as well

I've been trying to get that Kai set for the longest, that would be perfect for carpet, how much and when is it coming!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The weight difference is not going to keep me out of the "A" main and at least I won't hear it from the x-ray guys if I snap another one.
we usually get to laugh at those Xray guys when their goofy wheel screws loosen, and the wheel rolls off into the corner....

I never lost a wheel only slowed to avoid the wheel that broke off a 415, till this day I still haven't broke a part or lost a wheel.

Just messing don't get mad

Happy Holidays all

If I don't head out to Vegas that weekend for the 6-hour enduro Mugen Sedan race I may head down to Mini's.

I take it that chassis is meant for the rug. Is it thicker than the original 415 chassis?

Tamiya makes the direct center pulley, a front diff can be made out of Yokomo bits very easily.

Picked up the Tamiya motor case and another carring case. Looks good Chris. Tamiya just makes me so happy......
Carl, where did you get that carrying case.

The LW upgrade comes with steel ball studs, the MS comes with aluminum. I dont think I've crashed yet with my MS, but I havent had any problems with them bieng too fragile for normal racing, and weaving through traffic in practice.

One thing MF tought me is build your car so that it's at it's best for racing and plan on not crashing. You do sacrifice a few parts bieng a little fragile that way, but your car will be fastest that way too, it's a trade off.
