Just a few complaints so far...with all the fancy machining on the bulkheads you would think that Tamiya would incorporate some type of Key system between the alum pieces to square the pieces....way too many screws...which are too soft of a metal.
Other than that, I still love my $1 million touring sedan

Change them to ti or stainless. Tamiya ti's are bank though. I got a nice set through speedtech rc.

I'm glad I bought mine from Japan because they are a nice T-shirt.
But if anyone is interested in the spare then its here - http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...MESE%3AIT&rd=1

What do you guys think about running white springs in the front with 6owt. and blue springs in the rear and 50wt, for carpet with foams. Should I not run any sway bars front or rear?

That's not a good ratio that. You should be looking between 6.5 and 7.5 ish, and you have 7.8. I'd say start with 7 and see what it gives.

Has anyone tried the white TA05 diff gear/oneway gear for the 415? What would it do?
