Exactly as Harsh Guys says.....send him a list of what you need and he will give you a price for the parts, a price for using paypal, a shipping price and a total.

I guarantee you wont believe how cheap it is!!!

Rainbow Ten do the same thing.

Waiting on some stuff to arrive as we speak - will report when it arrives

Buying 415MSX Parts

WEB Listing/Inquries

Rainbow10.....I do not remember any Paypal fees although its been awhile since I have ordered from them. There shipping is about the same quickness.
There instock is listed everyday.

Rc champ is a good place to order from.....although the Paypal fees 7% on ($400)larger items could cost as much as the shipping charges ($40 shipping/33fees USD) just like state taxes in some places ....that when the price become more comparable to shore prices. ie Car kits/ radios. For Small part the prices are great. The Shipping is quick 2 to 3 days to the Eastern shores although Hong Kong EMS delivery on Sunday .
PS: do not be in a rush for whatever you may order.... with so many e/m's with questions and "non-buyers"....it will hold to your ordering process....Sometime it will take as long as 4 days or as short as 1 day to complete an order......But I've used them for atleast 2yrs straight.

Thanks for the info TRF 415 MSX Guys.
-Those Aluminum Wheel Axles sound like they`ll most likely bend in a crash(only in a crash) on My TB Evo 5. I use a 19-Turn Motor in it(the Aluminum Wheel Axles shouldn`t bend from the power of a 19-Turn Motor.....?).

I`ll get both items; the Aluminum Wheel Axles and the other Rear Uprights.....(Total: $97.00).....crazy Tamiya prices.
-I think those are the only parts that`s missing from the TB Evo 5 that would make it a TRF TB Evo 5.....Ha Ha!

Thanks

Take Care

Only if you are pro, then go for the LW wheel axle. They will NOT tolerate a small tap on the board, or your car got flipped over.

For an average racer, stick with the steel wheel axle.

I haven't had a single problem with the LW axles. I've had them on since October racing 2-3 times a month in stock. I have the occasional crash but nothing massive and they're fine. I'll probably get the steel axles for the outdoor season just in case as i'll be running 19t.

There should be a "PRO's only" list of parts. And the LW axles are at the top. Along with lightweight bodies, 6T motors, motor magnet zappers, shock dynos, full ceramic bearings...

I switched to the steel ones too.

Default Gearing Blues

Been reading a lot of the posts on your guys thread and haven't posted anything on it. I am an owner of a 415 MSX car and have a question. I have a 13.5 motor and a 4300 motor. I am currently running a 100 tooth spur and a 36 pinion. What I would like to know...am I way off on my gear ratio? The car seems to be pretty decent in speed and power. I am running the nitrite arm because of heat, and it only runs around 109 degrees. Keep in mind where I race in MI I am the only 415 car in a group of T2s and 007 cars. I am holding my own but I am not sure I am geared right. If anybody can tell me what I should gear either of the motors I would appreciate it. The Novak website has been no help. The gear ratios for this motor must be a big secret! So any help would be appreciated...thank you.

At our track (indoor med - high bite asphalt 90' x 40' track) we are running with the sintered rotor a the 5.0 - 5.2 gear ratio in the 13.5 brushless class.

I am running Rubber Tires on a large indoor carpet track approx 48 x 96 running a Novak GTB and 13.5 with a sintered rotor (runs about 20 degrees cooler than the stock nitrate arm)

I'm Geared 91 x 44 and this thing SCREEEEEM's. Almost as fast as my 4300.

That's a 42.55mm or a1.675 inch roll-out. (4.65 gear ratio) Temps out @ 144 degree's

If you want the new steering system your better off buying the MSXX. Too much hastle to convert. Direct center pully is the way to go!
Just my 2$
