Bear in mind though, Ashby is a pretty bumpy track. You could probably get away with going stiffer on the shocks, if as you say, your track is smooth. But that will be a good starting point.

I tried all kind of tension, loose, medium, hard, but the belt broken always.
Worth checking.

The Yokomo MR4TC series had the same problem until they went to hardened layshft pullies.
Hopefully Tamiya releases 415 pullies with TA05 composite material style layshaft modular pullies or some sort of hardened layshaft pulley.
Until then, just keep an eye for pulley wear.

Bondo who make the pully out of a soft alu material cause it cheap and they wear out...grr it gonna be a long wait for a hardened pully...I think though it the pitch ot the belt which is 3 mm should be 4 mm with larger pulleys would cope with the power.

Evo5 steering
Hi guys, I have some questions regarding the EVO5 steering on the mre.
Do I tighten the 2 screws (3X8mm) fully on the steering plate?...Tightening down the 2 screws hinders the movement of the plate...Isn't it suppose to move freely?

noticed that too, i used a little thread lock and didnt tighten it all the way down. So there is no slop, and no binding.
Also i checked the chassis plates against each other, and couldnt see a reason why i cant use the 4mm chassis with the MRE (except extra holes) I did notice that the steering is very close to the chassis, but if you put both spacers which go on the steering shafts, under the steering arms, i wonder if that would be enought to clear? I might run the steering shaft in upside down, and space it out. Im sure theres an easy solution

Yup, got those spacers in. Just found when i wreched on it, it binds a little, so used a little thread lock on the screws and didnt wrench down on them. I also put both spacers on the right of your pic, under the steering. Im aiming to get the 4mm plate to fit, so i wanted to see what kind of gap there is under the steering assembly. well, theres not enough! lol I need at least 1.5mm between the std plate and the linkage. So i think flipping the steering posts and respacing, it should work.

I've found that if the kingpins are slightly misalinged that can bind up the steering abit. Also the ball cups add friction.
With all the correct spacers, the steering should be free with none of the links connected. If it's still binding, try a 0.1mm extra between the brace and bellcranks.
