dang!!! you were about 2 days late with that post! i just finished putting mine together, or i would be glad to make some drawings. my only gripe about this car is... why no blue shocks?!?!?! they dont cost any more, and if all the other parts are blue, why not those? ah well, gives me something pretty to buy!!!

I think it just like the 414. Tamiya might come out 415II or something with blue shock for next year.

I am disappointed with the bearings... i thought the 415 comes with better quality bearings for this price.... like rubber shield bearings that was in the TA03pro...

is it possible to remove the metal shield on the 415 bearings?? the bearing is flooded with grease.

I tried the rubber shielded bearing from my Surikarn but the metal ones seems to be more free.

sure! in fact, i highly recommend it. much freer ddriveline. kind of a pain on the smaller ones, but it should be worth it. i used some Acer Racing Sin oil after flushing out the grease.

i saw a how-to on here a loong time ago. if you look really closely, there is a tiny circlip around the outside edge. i use a new Xacto knife blade to grab the ends and gently rotate it out.. time consuming, for sure! if you look with a magnifying glass closely, you will see that one end looks kinda like this: / and the other like this: \ you can usually grab one of them and rotateit out... be careful! sometimes they fly!!!
