Easily disitingusihable by the topdeck screws at the rear...

I agree it's likely not needed, it just seemed like it would be something interesting to try. It seems like the TRF team was able to overcome in spite of their old belt layout!

Yep... why optimise when you can simply dominate???

Hi guys,

Does anybody know where can I buy a complete front one-way set from my 416WE? I found only center one-way sets.

Thanks

Will it fit on your T3?!

I'd like to get one too. I hope if they do produce one, they give it the battery position of the original chassis.

Is it me or does this look kinda wide?

416: "does this chassis make me look fat?"
Me: "No sweetie, you look great just the way you are."

It does look rather wide, but I think it's just perspective distortion. The curved lines make me think they used a fisheye or very wide lens.

When you coming out to Denver, Ling? We've got a fancy new track!
