Thanks Ed, it was a great result in the end, I new the car had the speed as I had hit a 14.87 in round 3 but I kept clipping bot-dots which will always cost yah.
I think in my best run, I lost nearly 6 seconds in errors. I would have had ftd otherwise
2nd overall was the best result I have ever acheived at Carpet Wars and it's fitting as last weekend was the last run with my trusty T2'007. 5 years with xray and now its time for a change.
What i did notice about your car was the mid - exit corner speed. Very good.
Regards
Richard.

For those who might be interested, I see that SQUARE has released their aluminum chubs for the 416/IFS. They are $31 compared to 3Racings $12. But they might be more beefy compared to 3Racing. I dunno. So far my 3Racing chubs are holding up fine. I did do a couple more cart wheels due to corner dots. And they are holding up fine. But I have yet to clip a corner to really test them out.... yet...

I was wondering for all of you who had/have TRF415 MSX MRE and now have the 416 if there is a big difference in performance with the 416 vs the TRF415?
I bought a TA05 to race at a TCS race this past month and got hooked on r/c again after 4+ years... So I bought a used 415MSX and am waiting for it to get here still... I found out to run lipo's in the 415 I would need to dremel the bulkhead or get the MSXX stick pack conversion kit(about $120)... I don't like to hack parts so the kit would be what I do. That now pushes my used 415 over the $300-$350 range. So now I am 2nd guessing my purchase of the 415 and wondering if I should just spend the extra money and get a 416.
First off I would like to say that I am not the best driver out there since I just got back into the hobby (I am a bit rusty.) I am more of a middle of the pack person so far. I don't have the constancy yet in lap times, but can turn some very good laps. So I am not sure if the differences between the 2 would even be noticeable for me or not.
What do you guys think. Keep the 415 or just say screw it and spurge and get the 416...

I thought about it. But I don't think I can get there in time to race with decent sleep and driving 5+ hours. I won't get home from work till maybe 1am Saturday morning. Then sleep, then drive 5 hours. What time does the track open? Registration time? Racing starting time? Isn't it the Winter Carpet Nats at Mimi's this weekend?
#1422

depends on how many ppl show ups
