The MSX is a gorgeous chassis though, ease of adjustment and maintenance will be much better, i have partly finished putting it together, all of that Bling is inspirational.
I have not finished the build yet, but the car feels like it has a lot more flex than an MS.

Damn....!! My conversion kit came direct from Japan as its being brought in by the local tamiya distributor!! But it doesn't come with the black TRF t-shirts!!
Btw,These things come from japan,and asian people are smaller in build than westerners,thus the midget size t shirts. I think I'll fit into it quite well,if I've found one in my conversion kit...

I'm thinking of using the TAM spool when I upgrade to the MSX conversion (previously was going to get the refine kit - but changed my mind). Oh! by the way awesome website you have. Got good tips re rear toe blks setting when I was installing the lt wt rev arms a week ago.

So unless,its a big race and u want that extra edge,then use the tamiya or not I'll just stick to the speedtech version 1.

Got my MSX kit today but no Tshirt. Oh well. Nice box though. I think I will tape it all up with clear tape and use it for a tool box.

The only sad thing about it though, if that breaks & the TAM spool breaks (including the 2nd set of outdrives), Steve (Speedtech) no longer makes the 1st version spool anymore...only the light weight version.
Jun... you got a PM

Personally, I find the durability pretty good.... Although I do prefer the tamiya one for outdoor work, purely from durability stand point (too much to hit indoors
). On that point, I've actually only broken one outdrive so far... and that was from running indoors with a 19t..opps.I will say however, there is a noticeable increase in turn in when running it, mainly as it makes the drivetrain lighter, and reduces the amount the car wants to run on.
Currently, my indoor car (std 415, std suspension) either uses the old speedtech spool, or a yokomo diff I made up. I'm intending my MSX to soley use the tamiya spool or 1-ways, as I'm going to make this my outdoor car.
Thanks for the comments on the website, I do have a few more setups to put up soon, Martin Crisps vegas being one, and Dave Spashetts from the KO GP another. And if your really interested I might put some of mine up....
On another note enteriely
MY MSX SHOULD BE HERE TODAY
can't wait to try the baby t... will go well with my EA motorsport T(ent)-shirt (only jking eric)
Guess I had better on into work today then....
Later
