A few pages back, someone checked the Tamiya Japan website and found that the MSXX and 05MS weigh the same.

Thats up to you... is that your car equipped brushless or brushed... 5 or 6 cell?
I have my MS built already, but electricity is under the work

you should ask corey lewis. not a reedy G-main driver like me. 
seriously though, i like this car better than my 415MRE. i cant put my finger on it, but this car behaves better for me and im more comfortable with it.
i threw a modified (see below) TA05 set up (the one from regionals) on my 05MS, and like i mentioned above, once i chose the correct tires, the 05MS was on pace with the MRE that TQ'ed stock. although my driving wasnt.
i do have one complaint though. i wish it came with the 5 mounting holes on the bulkheads for the camber links. that way i can do a direct transfer of my TA05R set up onto the 05MS. instead Tamiya recycled the MRE bulkheads and im limited to 3 holes instead of the 5 from the 05R.
in two weeks, i'll run the 05MS with a 10.5 and see how much better it is since I ran the MRE mostly in 19T. 
What's Dialed....
- countersunk shock towers
- new steering rack
- alum. diff in the rear
- the usual TRF goodies (ribber shock caps and collar adjuster, etc)
- LW suspension
What's Hurting....
- stock screws strip easily
- 3 camber link mounting holes instead of 5 (like the TA05R)

I am looking to get a chassis for 19t to start moving up with soon (heck can't race in GT2, so why should I move to GT1.....no idea). The way you are talking about the car, and the way a lot of people speculated is that this car might transition from corner to corner better than the 415s with the almost equal belts.
If you are going to have it out at Aliso this weekend, let me know. I need to stop and take a look at it.

Well maybe if I see Corey I will ask him, but you kicked my butt at regionals so your opinion counts for something to me!!!

i just like this car because it improves on the existing TA05R (and i love my TA05R with a stock motor) not sure if drivetrain has something to do with transitioning of the car, but this will definitely help me transition from GT2 into GT1 after nationals, my 05MS should have a dialed set up. a past champ will be using it
ill be out to tamiya in two weeks. just come by and take a look.
