----------------------------------

I'm really curious about this car. I really loved my TC3's... the good old days :lol: . Does anyone know the internal ratio of this car?
Thanks Victor

I have posted already!
Everything about its spec is still anonymous, i am convinced will be all clearly after the SHS!
But this kit could be a best choice, if anyone still "fall in love" on shaft cars.
Some aftermarket brands (ex:Square) has already its option parts, due some are compatible with 416!
If it will not have spool, even original or option else, i am surely will not choose it as my next car, just because all our tracks are so slippery.

I love Tamiya! But I think they are milking a dead Cow here:( Shaft cars are dead here in the US. I still think a shaft car is better in stock:sweat:

Maybe is going to change, if is really don't need a shaft, just why as came up this upgraded version of tb evo5? Of course it has own need, at least in the brushless stock races, this car could be awesome in these kind of big turn BL races and i am convinced shaft cars has better with BL system than belt drive. In 2 last year I saw 2 guys using BL system in modified races with TBevo5 and pro4, they just put their 415 and Cyclone in silver can race, i don't know why, maybe they feel BL is too smooth with belt cars.
But i personally will not purchase it, in the case i have to race on concrete almost all over the season.

MAn i love shaft drive cars. They look so clean and tidy with the drive train all hidden away...

I loved my yokomo SD! Man this things got my juices flowing for a new shaft car.... if only xray would make one :)

just when I thought they coulden't improve upon the EVO5.

I love it! Glad i diden't get a 416.

Do ya'll think the chassis plates are any different between the EVO 5 & the MS?:sneaky:

Yes !

The stick battery holder is diferent. You can see the two holders wich are mounted on the outside of the battery slots!

I am interested if the steering mount holes will match the holes from the standard evo 5.

If yes, then i think i will get the new steering posts and the "Y" brige and dremel the original holes away, (from the upper deck) and mount it with a new hole in the center together. I think this mod have to work.:sneaky:

But wait and see.....

Do ya'll at least think maybe Tamiya will release a spool to go along with list version of the EVO?....:rolleyes:

Let's hope so - but while waiting I machined my own EVO5-spool from T6 aluminum (actually already 4 months ago) and have been very satified with that;)

Actually installing the spool brang up a new problem: the short 'Propeller joint A'-shaft made of aluminum in the front gearbox (MP1 / 3455970) starts to wear out.

By my opinion this shaft is machined too sloppy already at the factory => there is way too much free play between the shaft and ball bearings.

Now as you accelerate and brake the shaft goes up and down and the bearings 'eat' the aluminum a little by little from the shaft and shaft becomes more sloppier all the time.

With oneway-unit the front shaft has lasted much better, but using oneway is not an option for me in the most cases.

After replacing two shafts with new original ones I solved this problem by machining a new shaft from steel. No problems since that;)

I really hope that if Tamiya releases a spool for EVO5 / EVO5 MS - they also will release some improvement for this aluminum shaft.

Hy !

THe Evo4 Spool fit on the Evo5!!!

The problem is that the gears are not running so smooth as with the oneway or diff installed, But it works.

I have done a little modification.
I sanded from the surface where the oneway gear is mounted about
0,2-0,3mm, and then it runs free, like an original part. I dont shimmed anyway in the gearbox.

I ride it last winter on carpet with 17T brushed, and it was a awaesome ride!!!

Try it out !!!

Greetings Blueman

Noticed some of you guys run the tb02, Is there a spool that will fit in the tb02 & tb02r?:confused:

That is true (with the limitations mentioned in the original posting) - but it is unfortunately 'hard to find item' at least among the Asian RC-shops I am using as the production of this item is discontinued.

But as Blueman stated - EVO5 is an awesome ride! Just couldn't be any happier with it in our national BL8.5/5-cell spec-class...

wow
 

wow, makes me want to buy one just based on looks. for me, looks as beautiful as the 414.

ive seen tl01s still competitive in mabuchi class... maybe shaft is better for low power motors.

Tag;)

Anyone can post the pdf version of the manual?

Is this what you are looking for?

Thanks for the PDF. BTW, anyone found a suitable spool for it yet?

I've yet to run mine. Still waiting for my Novak XBR combo to come...Sigh...

Any particular reason why you chose a XBR over other BL esc?

It's smaller in size compared to the GTB and cheaper as well.

this is even better than evo5. tamiya added a few major improvements over the evo5.

It looks like the GTB is smaller, see
http://www.teamnovak.com/products/es...spec_chart.htm

Well, we'll see hw then...

how much would this cost in hong kong (minus the shipping fees)?

I bought mine in H.K in Jul. Gt it for $510 Singapore Dollars. The pricing you see on the H.K websites differs greatly from the prices from the shops. It's definitely cheaper to by R/C stuff from H.K & Japan. Next comes the asian countries. In Singapore, the prices are reasonable.

Spool Spool Spool. Anyone found a spool that'll work for the MS?

@adrictan


wow.. that's definitely cheap.. just somewhere around 360USD.

Hey Adric, the last spool of Tamiya is just for EVO4, but i believe if you could find them just to be very lucky, then i think this could not fit very well EVO5:http://www.tamiyausa.com/product/ite...oduct-id=49359

And other 1 of photo below is from Xenon, also for EVO4, i think is so much rare item, in the case is so small company:

If i was you i will try to ask from Japan's HS to ask both of them.

I've emailed Jap & HK shops to help find #49359. Maybe have to add shims to make it fit. Hopefully someone can find the solution.

The specification of EVO5 MS says:

"New motor layout sees motor mounted further forward to improve handling characteristics and make spur gear changes much easier."

Has anybody measured how much further forward motor is mounted if compared to standard EVO5?

Also two further questions:

- batteries seem to be located also further forward than in EVO5 - any ideas how much?
- what is the thickness of upper and lower deck?

I was told the TRF415 spool is the same as the Evo IV one.#49358. Anyone can confirm this?

On the spool problem, wouldnt it be possible to convert the rear diff into a spool. i did this on the old yokomo sd with abit of shimming and it worked great in stock and 19t with none of the chatter you get with a steel spool and it also gives a bit of slip in a crash. just leave the balls out and get rid of the grease

In what situation would you want a spool at the rear?

just fllow your hobby is ok .don't care which one is the most popular.......:sweat::sweat::sweat:

If use the ball diff but remove the balls, i need to superglue the lock nots so it won't slip right? That's the alternative way if I can't get the spool.

You shouldnt need to use superglue, just tighten the diff screw quite tight, but not too tight that you break it.

!

Unfortunately, whenever I tighten it, it'll slip after a few times.

Rather than use superglue, you might want to try shoo goo since it can be removed.

Hi guys, where can I get the manual for the MS??? I found the Evo V 50000 times but it seems no one has uploaded the manual for the MS..... Do you know where can I get it???? Thanks!
