nope nothing bent or broke (keep checking after each race i`m that bad ) 
but i changed the setup quite alot from kit & now it is really hard to drive consistence, one corner it be allright the next be bad & the same corner next time round will be different again
hold my hands here & just say changed it to much from kit for it to work,thinking i know it all what do tamiya know
still made A on thurs eve though but it was so far of pace it even made my motors look slow
coz it handled so badly

Racereport 
setup:
Carpet
Tires rubber sorex 24 on disk Proline insert orion blue mid
shocks
front white tam - oil 50 asso
rear blue tam - oil 40 asso
Camber rear 3°
Camber front 2°
gearing 48dp 74 to 21
rest standard
I have lowered the turnbukle arm on rear bulkhead. I removed the shims and replaced them by lower shims. That was the trick
The car was handeling very well. Still have a viberating sound when I'm turning in. Is it possible that it comes from the shaft and there's nothing to do about it?

to agp,
The noise that is coming from the wheels are the universal shafts. You have to remake them. And Please Put Some GREESE in the axle and the Cup joint.
It should help,

Hello,
I used to have a TA05 and planning on going back racing again and thinking of getting the EVO 5, but I have some questions and I hope you can answer them for me.
How is the handling compared to TA05 (for TA05 owners)?
Is it a tank just like the TA05?
and are parts easily available right now(online U.S. shops)?
Thanks.

Comparing to the TA05,
This is a pro car not a toy like the TA05 were you have to buy optional parts to get the car runing.
The parts that you really need, you can get. The parts of the msx415 are the same like arms, steering blocks, ... .
Optional parts are not so easy to get. Still waiting for some of them to come out.
Regards

Tryhard, mrJolly,
Is it possible when cornering the main shaft makes a vibrating sound, because of the speed and the craft? That's what it feels like. Any of you have it. The shimming is ok that I know for sure.
