I have an EVO V but I think the suspension is the same as the 416. The shim that is used when mounting the knuckle in the c-hub. The manual has it going on top. Was wondering, if that is a setup item (as it can be moved to the bottom) and what the effect of changing it would be?

BTW, to anyone running the 416 or 416WC with Lipo packs, they will finally be able to easilly fit into the Tamiya chassis. I've been working with Chris at Manutech Racing, they already make trays for multiple other cars on the market, and when I contacted him about making one for the 416 line, he was more than happy to put one together for me.
Yesterday I got the prototype, it fit into my chassis perfectly, and mounted the pack exactly how I wanted it to. I'll be going to the track today to test the balance of it and give it the "OK" and then they will be readilly available. I'll get pics posted soon as well.
This tray will allow ANY lipo pack to easilly fit into the 416 without worrying about any clearance issues with the upper deck.

That's great news, Chris is a good dude.

Yeah, he was all for the idea of making a tray for the 416 from my first e-mail to him and on. The prototype fits my Orion equipment perfectly, but I notified him of a small change he will need to make to have it fit the SMC and other brand packs just as well. I'm sure it won't be long before the updates are ready to go and the trays will be in production.

CraigM uses SPX also ... same like mine.
Just check with you what is the max speed for 416 with SPX & Speedpassion 11.5T motor.
Currently I am gearing my 416 at 5.3 & profile 7 on ESC. As far I observe there are no degration in speed & VTEC acceleration kicks in. But problem other same cars are cutting me off easily at high speed on 50m straight.
I was thinking if 5.1 will increase the car speed. So what is the LRP SPX setup, gearing & etc to take full advantage of TRF 416?

By the way care to share which motor you tried & gearing. Till you smoke them. That is very helpful & deeply appreciate that.

Both novak 10.5s geared at 4.7 then 4.9 on profile 7. I had started conservatively with both motors but then picked up some speed with setup and that's when they went. I'm now using LRP motors again as they are more tolerant to heat, and my 10.5 is geared to 5.3. Motor comes off around 78degC after 6 mins (we ran 6 minute heats at the last event)

If I were to go 5.1 with profile 7, will the temp be higher. But I believe I get more speed then.
