question

Kentech:
Does the curved motor mount front work well?
Is that the fan mount bar near the motor mount or something different?
Is the servo mount the lower height one seen in the TA07RR?

Used the TFR420 for VTA on and off for a year and did not break anything. Only needed new body mounts and foam bumper when I swapped bodies.

Does 420 bulkhead fit to 420x chassis plate? Then I can buy 420x motor mount and chassis plate, and combine with my 420 and TA08. What do you guys think?

Bulkheads may fit, but chances for motor mount are extremely slim

Have missed this. Sorry for the late reply.

- Do you mean the front part of the two-piece motor mount? I see no issues with this, but still have not run the car.
- Yes, that's the new fan mount. It is mentioned in the presentation below the photo of it.
- Not sure what you mean by lower height. I don't have any experience with the TA07RR. The 420X servo mount is a new part for the 420X, although very similar and interchangeable with the 420 version.

All bulkheads, suspension, steering, servo mount and bumper holes are the same, but the motor mount, center weight, flex plate holes are obviously all different.

No you need to use the 420 diff/spool on the 420 and 420X.
